Mimix's proven workhorse, the CF001-03, is now available in packaged form as the CFS0103-SB. The CFS0103-SB is a high dynamic range, low noise, pHEMT packaged in a 4-lead SOT-343 surface mount plastic package. It is intended for many applications operating in the 0.1 GHz to 10 GHz frequency range. Mimix's high performance packaged pHEMTs are ideal for use in all applications where low noise figure, high gain, medium power and good intercept is required. The CFS0103-SB is the perfect solution for the first or second stage of a base station LNA due to the excellent combination of low noise figure and linearity. It is also well suited as a medium power driver stage in pole-top amplifiers and other transmit functions, particularly as the low thermal resistance allows extended power dissipation when voltage and current are adjusted for increased power and linearity.

Output Power (dBm) 0.1-10.0 GHz Low Noise, Medium Power pHEMT in a Surface Mount Plastic Package May 2008 - Rev 12-May-08 CFS0103-SB Considerations When Designing for Optimum Noise Figure Using Noise Parameters For any two-port network, the noise figure gives a measure of the amount of noise added to a signal transmitted through that network. In this datasheet we have given the NFmin and the corresponding optimum source resistance values for the device under various bias conditions. NFmin represents the true minimum noise figure when the device is presented with an impedance matching network that transforms the source impedance typically 50 ohms to that optimum noise matching impedance referred to as Gopt. All stability considerations still apply, of course. If the calculated Rollet stability factor (K) is less than 1, then the source and load reflection coefficients must be carefully chosen. For an accurate graphical depiction of the unstable regions, it is best to draw stability circles. In practice the impedance that minimizes the noise figure is different from the impedance that minimizes the return loss. Matching techniques such as inductive feedback will be used to bring the noise match closer to this gain match. An additional inherent danger of this technique is the increased instability of the design at higher frequencies. As the frequency increases the source inductance will also increase, this increases the amount of feedback to the devices source up to an oscillation level. This issue can be reduced by carefully choosing the input and output matching topology so that the transducer gain is limited at the frequency of potential oscillation. Design of a high pass / low pass matching network on the input and output is one solution that addresses this problem. Careful simulation is essential using the wideband s-parameters provided and can only be achieved through careful modeling of all components utilized in the design, including: 1. Accurate high frequency models for all surface mount components used. 2. Accurate models of the board characteristics including loss tangents and metal thickness. 3. Use of Via holes and via pads instead of perfect grounds where used. In any case if the reflection coefficient of the chosen matching network is other than Gopt, then the noise figure of the device will be greater than NFmin. The losses of the matching circuits are also non-zero and it must be considered that the noise figure of the completed amplifier is equal to the noise figure of the device plus the losses of the matching network preceding the device. The losses of the matching networks are related to the Q of the components and associated printed circuit board loss. In general larger gate width devices will typically have a lower Gopt as compared to smaller gate width devices. Matching to higher impedance devices requires very hi-Q components in order to minimize circuit losses. The main reason for using smaller gate width devices is the trade-off of current consumption and optimum noise performance.
