Low Noise RF Transistors
These 12 GHz NPN bipolar transistors are designed for highly sensitive RF front ends in the 1 and 2 GHz frequency range. The devices are aimed at low power, low noise applications and can operate with supply voltages as low as > 1 V. The devices also offer a typical noise figure of 1.2 dB. The models TSDF 1220 (SOT-143) and TSDF 1220W (SOT-343) transistors are available for preamplifiers, mixers and oscillators of satellite receivers, set-top boxes and similar wired applications. The models TSDF 1205 (SOT-143) and TSDF 1205W (SOT-343) are available for cordless telephone-second generation and Digital European Cordless Telephone cordless telephones, cell phones, pagers and GPS receivers in automobiles. Prices: start at 20¢ (1,000,000). Delivery: eight to 10 weeks.

0.1 - 6 GHz Surface-mount Threshold Detector
The model PSD-6002 threshold detector operates over the frequency range from 0.1 to 6 GHz and provides a TTL output for an externally programmable RF input level. The detector features internal temperature compensation, ± 0.7 dB input flatness and SWR of 1.5 over a 20 dBm input operating range (-10 to +10 dBm). Current consumption is 12 mA (typ) at 15 V DC. The unit is housed in a 0.25" x 0.25" hermetically sealed surface-mount package. Open-carrier, custom variations and MIL-SCREENED versions are also available.
