Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices’ SHF-0189 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 minimiz-
ing Schottky leakage current resulting in higher PAE and improved linearity.
Output power at 1dB compression for the SHF-0189 is +27 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 require-
ments. It is well suited for use in both analog and digital wireless communi-
cation infrastructure and subscriber equipment including 3G, cellular, PCS,
fixed wireless, and pager systems.
