DESCRIPTION
The MwT-8 is a GaAs MESFET device which is ideally suited to narrow-band applications such as cellular telephone, PCN, point-to-point
communications links, and other wireless applications as the driver transistor for the output power amplifier. The third-order intercept
performance of the MwT-8 is excellent, typically 12 dB above the 1 dB compression point. The chip is produced using MwT’s reliable
metal system and devices from each wafer are screened to insure reliability. All chips are passivated using MwT’s patented “Diamond-Like
Carbon” process for increased durability, Designers can use MwT’s unique BIN selection feature to choose devices from narrow Idss
ranges, insuring consistent circuit operation.
