General Description
SAV-581+ is an ultra-low noise, high IP3 transistor device, manufactured using E-PHEMT* technology
enabling it to work with a single positive supply voltage. It has outstanding Noise Figure, particularly be-
low 2.5 GHz, and when combining this noise figure with high IP3 performance in a single device it makes
it an ideal amplifier for demanding base station applications. We offer these units assembled into a com-
plete module, 50Ω in/out, noise matched and fully specified. For more information please see our TAMP
family of models on our web site.

SAV-581+
Fig 1.
Block Diagram of Test Circuit used for characterization. (DUT soldered on Mini-Circuits Test Board TB-471+)
Gain, Output power at 1dB compression (P1 dB) and output IP3 (OIP3) are measured using R&S Network Analyzer ZVA-24.
Noise Figure measured using Agilent Noise Figure meter N8975A and Noise Source N4000A.
Conditions:
1. Drain voltage (with reference to source, V
DS
)= 3 or 4V as shown.
2. Gate Voltage (with reference to source, V
GS
) is set to obtain desired Drain-Source current (IDS) as shown in graphs or specification table.
3. Gain: Pin= -25dBm
4. Output IP3 (OIP3): Two tones, spaced 1 MHz apart, 0 dBm/tone at output.
5. No external matching components used.
