Description:
The MwT-17Q3 is a high linearity GaAs MESFET device in low cost QFN3X3 package that is ideally suited for high linearity
driver, PA (Power Amplifier), and high dynamic range LNA applications. The applications include 2G, 2.5G, and 3G wireless
infrastructure standards, such as GSM, TDMA, CDMA, Edge, CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, and UMTS base stations. This
product is also idea for high data rate wireless LAN infrastructure applications, such as high QAM rate 802.11 WiFi and 802.16
WiMax base stations and APs (Access Points). In additional, the product can be used for point-to-point microwave
communications links. The third order intercept performance of the MwT-17Q3 is excellent, typically 18 dB above the 1 dB power
gain compression point. The noise figure is as low as 0.8 dB at 900 MHz. The chip is produced using MwT's proprietary high
linearity device design. It also uses MwT reliable metallization process. All chips are passivated using MwT's patented "Diamond-
Like Carbon" process for increased durability.
