DESCRIPTION
NEC's NE34018 is a low cost gallium arsenide Hetero-Junc-
tion FET housed in a miniature (SOT-343) plastic surface
mount package. The device is fabricated using ion implanta-
tion for improved RF and DC performance, reliability, and
uniformity. Its low noise figure, high gain, small size and
weight make it an ideal low noise amplifier transistor in the 1-
3 GHz frequency range. The NE34018 is suitable for GPS,
PCS, WLAN, MMDS, and other commercial applications.
NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures en-
sure the highest reliability and performance.

Note:
1. Typical values of noise figures and associated gain are those obtained when 50% of the devices from a large number of lots were individually
measured in a circuit with the input individually tuned to obtain the minimum value. Maximum values are criteria established on the production
line as a "go-no-go" screening test with the fixture tuned for the "generic" type but not for each specimen.
