Product Description
The FP1189 is a high performance ½-Watt HFET
(Heterostructure FET) in a low-cost SOT-89 surface-
mount package. This device works optimally at a
drain bias of +8 V and 125 mA to achieve +40 dBm
output IP3 performance and an output power of +27
dBm at 1-dB compression, while providing 20.5 dB
gain at 900 MHz.
The device conforms to WJ Communications’ long
history of producing high reliability and quality
components. The FP1189 has an associated MTTF
of greater than 100 years at a mounting temperature
of 85
°C. All devices are 100% RF & DC tested.
The product is targeted for use as driver amplifiers
for wireless infrastructure where high performance
and high efficiency are required.

1. Idss is measured with Vgs = 0 V, Vds = 3 V.
2. Pinch-off voltage is measured when Ids = 1.2 mA.
3. The junction temperature ensures a minimum MTTF rating of 1 million hours of usage.
4. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: T = 25ºC, VDS = 8 V, IDQ = 125 mA, frequency = 900 MHz in
a tuned application circuit with ZL = ZLOPT, ZS = ZSOPT (optimized for output power).
5. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +12 dBm/tone separated by 1 MHz. The
suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule.
