Transistors - FETs, MOSFETs - RF

ATF-511P8-BLK is a high-performance Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET). It has a small size, good electrical characteristics and wireless high-frequency performance. As one of triodes (transistors) type, FETs can be divided into small-power type and high-power type according to the power grade.

Application Field

ATF-511P8-BLK is mainly used in handheld wireless devices, such as mobile phones, cordless phones, PDAs, Bluetooth device and other consumer electronics. It is also a common type of RF power amplifier in Radar application, and it can be used in demodulators and mixers for Automotive Radar systems.

Working Principle

The FET is a three-terminal active device that has both current and voltage control. It is a unipolar device, as its operation is based solely on the majority carriers. The FET operation depends on the presence of a gate voltage, applied between the gate and source. The gate voltage produces a vertical electric field in the gate-channel junction, which creates an inversion layer at the surface of the gate-channel junction. This an amplifying effect called a pinchoff voltage. This voltage establishes the gate-channel junction and regulates the current that flows though it. When the gate-channel junction breaks down, the current sharply increases. This is known as avalanche breakdown.

The gain of a MESFET is defined as the ratio of the drain current to the gate voltage. The MESFET is usually operated in the ohmic or linear region. At this point, the drain-source voltage is small, so that it can be neglected. The gain is fairly constant in the linear region, since the drain current is proportional to the gate voltage. This is known as the transconductance of the device.

Conclusion

ATF-511P8-BLK transistor is suitable for a variety of applications and can be used in all kinds of circuits requiring an RF amplifier. Its small size and high performance make it an ideal device for wireless applications. Its linear operation and high transconductance make it a very useful device for a wide range of applications.
