Rev. 05 - 21 November 2007
NPN 9 GHz wideband transistor
FEATURES
• High power gain
• Low noise figure
• High transition frequency
• Gold metallization ensures
excellent reliability.
DESCRIPTION
NPN silicon planar epitaxial
transistors, intended for wideband
applications in the GHz range, such
as analog and digital cellular
telephones, cordless telephones
(CT1, CT2, DECT, etc.), radar
detectors, satelliteTV tuners (SATV),
MATV/CATV amplifiers and repeater
amplifiers in fibre-optical systems.
Thetransistors are mountedin plastic
SOT143B and SOT143R packages.
