BFR340F
Low profile silicon NPN RF bipolar transistor
Product description
The BFR340F is a low noise device based on Si that is part of Infineon’s established third
generation RF bipolar transistor family. Its low current and high breakdown voltage
characteristics make the device suitable for oscillators applications for frequencies as
high as 3.5 GHz. It remains cost competitive without compromising on ease of use.

Gms = IS21 / S12I for k < 1; Gma = IS21 / S12 I(k-(k2-1)1/2) for k > 1. In order to get the NFmin values stated in
this chapter, the test fixture losses have been subtracted from all measured results. OIP3 value
depends on termination of all intermodulation frequency components. Termination used for this
measurement is 50 Ω from 0.1 MHz to 6 GHz.
