General Description
TAV-581+ is an ultra-low noise, high IP3 transistor device, manufactured using E-PHEMT* technology
enabling it to work with a single positive supply voltage. It has outstanding Noise Figure, particularly below 2.5 GHz, and when combining this noise figure with high IP3 performance in a single device it makes
it an ideal amplifier for demanding base station applications. We offer these units assembled into a complete module, 50Ω in/out, noise matched and fully specified. For more information please see our TAMP
family of models on our web site.

(Refer to Application Note AN-60-040)
Fig 3. Reference Plane Location
Notes:
Noise parameters were measured over 0.5 to 6 GHz by Modelithics® using a solid state tuner-based NP noise parameter test
system available from Maury Microwave. F Min, optimimum source reflection coefficient and noise resistance values are calculated
values based on a set of measurements made at approximately 16 different impedances. Some data smoothing was applied to arrive at the presented data set.
S-parameters were measured by Modelithics® on an Anritsu Lightning vector network analyzer over 0.1 to 18GHz using 350um
pitch RF probes from GGB industries combined with customized thru-reflect-line (TRL) calibration standards. The reference plane is
at the device package leads, as shown in the picture.
