MwT-LN600
26 GHz Super Low Noise pHEMT Device
May 2010
FEATURES
0.50 dB Minimum Noise Figure at 12 GHz
8.0 dB Associated Gain at 12 GHz
20.0 dBm P1dB at 12 GHz
0.15 Micron x 600 Micron Gate
APPLICATIONS
Excellent Choice for Super Low Noise Applications
Ideal for Commercial, Military, Hi-Rel Space Applications
DESCRIPTION
The MwT- LN600 is a super low noise, quasi enhancement-mode pHEMT whose nominal 0.15 micron gate length and
600 micron gate width make it ideally suited for applications requiring very low noise and high associated gain up to 20
GHz. The device is equally effective for wideband (e.g. 6 to 18 GHz) and narrow-band applications. Each wafer can be
screened to meet quality and reliability requirements of space and military applications.
