Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. has introduced GaAs FETs. The device can be used in microwave radio s and block up converters.
Two new X-band GaAs FETs for microwave digital radios support point-to-point and point-to-multipoint terrestrial communications , whereas the TIM1011-2UL and the TIM1011-8UL, operate in the 10.7 to 11.7 GHz1 range. The TIM1011-2UL has an output power at one-dB gain compression point of 2W, or 33.5dBm, linear gain of 9.5dB and power added efficiency of 36%. The TIM1011-8ULÂ has an output power at one-dB gain compression point of 8W, or 39.5dB m , linear gain of 9.0dB , and power efficiency of 39%.
Also two 30W C band power amplifiers have been added for satellite applications. They operate in the 5.9 to 6.4 GHz and 7.7 to 8.5 GHz range. Both devices can be used in BUC applications for very small aperture terminals and solid-state power amplifiers.
