Description
Agilent’s ATF-34143 is a high
dynamic range, low noise PHEMT
housed in a 4-lead SC-70 (SOT-343)
surface mount plastic package.
Based on its featured performance,
ATF-34143 is ideal for the first
stage of base station LNA due to
the excellent combination of low
noise figure and high linearity[1].
The device is also suitable for
applications in Wireless LAN,
WLL/RLL, MMDS, and other
systems requiring super low noise
figure with good intercept in the
450 MHz to 10 GHz frequency
range.
Note:
1. From the same PHEMT FET family, the
larger geometry ATF-33143 may also be
considered either for the higher linearity
performance or easier circuit design for
stability in the lower frequency bands
(800-900 MHz).

Notes:
1. Measurements made on a fixed toned production test board that was tuned for optimal gain match with reasonable noise figure at 4 V,
60 mA bias. This circuit represents a trade-off between optimal noise match, maximum gain match, and a realizable match based on
production test board requirements. Circuit losses have been de-embedded from actual measurements.
2. P1dB measurements are performed with passive biasing. Quicescent drain current, IDSQ, is set with zero RF drive applied. As P1dB is
approached, the drain current may increase or decrease depending on frequency and dc bias point. At lower values of IDSQ the device
is running closer to class B as power output approaches P1dB. This results in higher PAE (power added efficiency) when compared to
a device that is driven by a constant current source as is typically done with active biasing. As an example, at a VDS = 4 V and
IDSQ = 10 mA, Id increases to 62 mA as a P1dB of +19 dBm is approached.

Figure 23. MSG/MAG and |S21|2 vs.
Frequency at 3 V, 20 mA.
Notes:
1. Fmin values at 2 GHz and higher are based on measurements while the Fmins below 2 GHz have been extrapolated. The Fmin values
are based on a set of 16 noise figure measurements made at 16 different impedances using an ATN NP5 test system. From these
measurements a true Fmin is calculated. Refer to the noise parameter application section for more information.
2. S and noise parameters are measured on a microstrip line made on 0.025 inch thick alumina carrier. The input reference plane is at the
end of the gate lead. The output reference plane is at the end of the drain lead. The parameters include the effect of four plated
through via holes connecting source landing pads on top of the test carrier to the microstrip ground plane on the bottom side of the
carrier. Two 0.020 inch diameter via holes are placed within 0.010 inch from each source lead contact point, one via on each side of
that point.

Notes:
1. Fmin values at 2 GHz and higher are based on measurements while the Fmins below 2 GHz have been extrapolated. The Fmin values
are based on a set of 16 noise figure measurements made at 16 different impedances using an ATN NP5 test system. From these
measurements a true Fmin is calculated. Refer to the noise parameter application section for more information.
2. S and noise parameters are measured on a microstrip line made on 0.025 inch thick alumina carrier. The input reference plane is at the
end of the gate lead. The output reference plane is at the end of the drain lead. The parameters include the effect of four plated
through via holes connecting source landing pads on top of the test carrier to the microstrip ground plane on the bottom side of the
carrier. Two 0.020 inch diameter via holes are placed within 0.010 inch from each source lead contact point, one via on each side of
that point.

Noise Parameter
Applications Information
Fmin values at 2 GHz and higher
are based on measurements while
the Fmins below 2 GHz have been
extrapolated. The Fmin values are
based on a set of 16 noise figure
measurements made at 16
different impedances using an
ATN NP5 test system. From these
measurements, a true Fmin is
calculated. Fmin represents the
true minimum noise figure of the
device when the device is presented with an impedance
matching network that transforms the source impedance,
typically 50Ω, to an impedance
represented by the reflection
coefficient Γo. The designer must
design a matching network that
will present Γo to the device with
minimal associated circuit losses.
The noise figure of the completed
amplifier is equal to the noise
figure of the device plus the
losses of the matching network
preceding the device. The noise
figure of the device is equal to
Fmin only when the device is
presented with Γo. If the reflection coefficient of the matching
network is other than Γo, then the
noise figure of the device will be
greater than Fmin based on the
following equation.
NF = Fmin + 4 Rn
|Γs – Γo | 2
Zo (|1 + Γo| 2) (1 – Γs| 2)
Where Rn /Zo is the normalized
noise resistance, Γo is the optimum reflection coefficient
required to produce Fmin and Γs is
the reflection coefficient of the
source impedance actually
presented to the device. The
losses of the matching networks
are non-zero and they will also
add to the noise figure of the
device creating a higher amplifier
noise figure. The losses of the
matching networks are related to
the Q of the components and
associated printed circuit board
loss. Γo is typically fairly low at
higher frequencies and increases
as frequency is lowered. Larger
gate width devices will typically
have a lower Γo as compared to
narrower gate width devices.
Typically for FETs, the higher Γo
usually infers that an impedance
much higher than 50Ω is required
for the device to produce Fmin. At
VHF frequencies and even lower
L Band frequencies, the required
impedance can be in the vicinity
of several thousand ohms.
Matching to such a high impedance requires very hi-Q components in order to minimize circuit
losses. As an example at 900 MHz,
when airwwound coils (Q > 100)
are used for matching networks,
the loss can still be up to 0.25 dB
which will add directly to the
noise figure of the device. Using
muiltilayer molded inductors with
Qs in the 30 to 50 range results in
additional loss over the airwound
coil. Losses as high as 0.5 dB or
greater add to the typical 0.15 dB
Fmin of the device creating an
amplifier noise figure of nearly
0.65 dB. A discussion concerning
calculated and measured circuit
losses and their effect on amplifier noise figure is covered in
Agilent Application 1085.
