TGC4407-SM
® Ka - Band Upconverter
Product Description
The QORVO TGC4407-SM is a Ka-Band sub-harmonic upconverter with integrated LO buffer amplifier. The TGC4407-SM operates from an RF of 21.5 to 32.5 GHz and is designed using QORVO’s pHEMT production process.
The TGC4407-SM typically provides 13 dBm of input TOI at –10 dBm input power per tone and a conversion gain of
-9 dB.
The TGC4407-SM is available in a low-cost, surface mount 16 lead 3x3mm QFN package and is ideally suited for Pointto-Point Radio, and Ka-Band VSAT Ground Terminal.
Lead-free and RoHS compliant.
