SOT-363 (SC-70)
Additionally, the ATF-36163 has
low noise-resistance, which
reduces the sensitivity of noise
performance to variations in
input impedance match. This
feature makes the design of broad
band low noise amplifiers much
easier. The performance of the
ATF-36163 makes this device the
ideal choice for use in the 2nd or
3rd stage of low noise cascades.
The repeatable performance and
consistency make it appropriate
for use in Ku-band Direct
Broadcast Satellite (DBS) TV
systems, C-band TV Receive Only
(TVRO) LNAs, Multichannel
Multipoint Distribution Systems
(MMDS), X-band Radar detector
and other low noise amplifiers
operating in the 1.5 18 GHz
frequency range.
This GaAs PHEMT device has a
nominal 0.2 micron gate length
with a total gate periphery
(width) of 200 microns. Proven
gold-based metallization system
and nitride passivation assure
rugged, reliable devices.
Description
The Hewlett-Packard ATF-36163
is a low-noise Pseudomorphic
High Electron Mobility Transistor
(PHEMT), in the SOT-363 (SC-70)
package. When optimally matched
for minimum noise figure, it will
provide a noise figure of 1 dB at
12 GHz and 0.6 dB at 4 GHz.
