Description
This series of NPN silicon transistors is designed to
provide the low noise figure at frequencies from 10 to
1000 MHz. These transistors exhibit excellent noise
figure vs. current characteristics which results in
extremely low noise and wide dynamic range
performance. These transistors find wide application in
sophisticated radar and communications equipment at
VHF/UHF.
Micro-X
Applications
The MP42001 family of bipolar NPN transistors can be
used for low noise, high associated gain. large dynamic
range amplifiers up to approximately 1.0 GHz. These
transistors can also be used as preamplifier or driver
stages in the same frequency range.
