Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices’ SHF-0186 is a high performance AlGaAs/
GaAs Heterostructure FET (HFET) housed in a low-cost surface-
mount plastic package. The HFET technology improves
breakdown voltage while minimizing Schottky leakage current
resulting in higher PAE and improved linearity.
Output power at 1dB compression for the SHF-0186 is +28
dBm when biased for Class AB operation at 8V,100mA. The
+40 dBm third order intercept makes it ideal for high dynamic
range, high intercept point requirements. It is well suited for
use in both analog and digital wireless communication
infrastructure and subscriber equipment including 3G, cellular,
PCS, fixed wireless, and pager systems
