NPN 7 GHz wideband transistor
FEATURES
• High power gain
• Low noise figure
• Gold metallization ensures
excellent reliability.
DESCRIPTION
The BFG197 is a silicon NPN
transistor in a 4-pin, dual-emitter
plastic SOT143 envelope. It is
primarily intended for wideband
applications in the GHz range, such
as satellite TV systems and repeater
amplifiers in fibre-optic systems.
