MwT-12
18 GHz High Power
GaAs FET
DESCRIPTION
The MwT-12 is a GaAs MESFET device whose nominal quarter-micron gate length and 900 micron gate width make it ideally suited to
applications requiring high-power in the 2 GHz to 18 GHz frequency range. The straigth gate geometry of the MwT-12 makes it equally
effective for either wideband (e.g. 6 to 18 GHz) or narrow-band applications. The chip is produced using MwT’s reliable metal system and
all devices 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.
