ATF-36163
1.5 –18 GHz Surface Mount Pseudomorphic HEMT
Data Sheet
Description
The Avago 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.
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.
