DESCRIPTION
The MwT-5 is a dual gate GaAs MESFET device whose nominal quarter-micron gate length and 300 micron gate width make it ideally
suited to applications requiring high-gain in the 500 MHz to 26 GHz frequency range. The straigth gate geometry of the MwT-5 makes it
equally effective for either wideband (e.g. 2 to 26 GHz) or narrow-band applications. 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.
