Description
Hewlett-Packard’s ATF-13786 is a low cost Gallium Arsenide
Schottky barrier-gate field effect transistor housed in a surface mount plastic package. This device is designed for use in low cost, surface mount oscillators operating over the RF and
microwave frequency ranges. The ATF-13786 has sufficient gain for easy use as a negative R cell,without excess gain that can lead to unwanted oscillations and
mode jumping. The gate structure used in the fabrication of this device results in phase noise performance superior to that of most other MESFETs. These features make this device
particularly well suited for low power (< +10 dBm) commercial oscillator applications such as are encountered in DBS, TVRO, and MMDS television receivers, or hand-held transceivers operating in the 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.7?GHz I SM bands.

Notes:
4.Recommended maximum bias conditions for use as an oscillator.
5.The superior phase noise of this product results from the use of a gate structure optimized for noise performance.Typical performance of 10 GHz parallel resonated, lightly coupled oscillator using high Q dielectric resonator.
