Description

Agilent’s AT-42036 is a general purpose NPN bipolar transistor that offers excellent high frequency performance. The AT-42036 is housed in a cost effective surface mount 100 mil micro-X package. The 4 micron emitter-to-emitter pitch enables this transistor to be used in many different functions. The 20 emitter finger interdigitated geometry yields a medium sized transistor with impedances that are easy to match for low noise and medium power applications. This device is designed for use in low noise, wideband amplifier, mixer and oscillator applications in the VHF, UHF, and microwave frequencies. An optimum noise match near 50 Ω up to 1 GHz, makes this device easy to use as a low noise amplifier.
