The ATF-36163-BLKG is a 3V low noise surface mount Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (PHEMT) providing noise figure of 1dB at 12GHz and 0.6dB at 4GHz. This feature makes the design of broad band low noise amplifiers much easier. Ideal choice for use in the 2nd or 3rd stage of low noise cascades. Used in Ku-band direct broadcast satellite (DBS) TV systems, C-band TV receive only (TVRO) LNAs, Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Systems (MMDS), X-band Radar detector and other low noise amplifiers operating in the 1.5 to 18GHz frequency range.
