DESCRIPTION
The MwT-17 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-17 is excellent, typically 15 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.
