S and Noise Parameter Measurements The position of the reference planes used for the measurement of both S and Noise Parameter measurements is shown in Figure 20. The reference plane can be described as being at the center of both the gate and drain pads. S and noise parameters are measured with a 50 ohm microstrip test fixture made with a 0.010" thickness aluminum substrate. Both source leads are connected directly to ground via a 0.010" thickness metal rib which provides a very low inductance path to ground for both source leads. The induc- tance associated with the addi- tion of printed circuit board plated through holes and source bypass capacitors must be added to the computer circuit simula- tion to properly model the effect of grounding the source leads in a typical amplifier design.

Noise Parameter Applications Information The Fmin values are based on a set of 16 noise figure measure- ments made at 16 different impedances using an ATN NP5 test system. From these measure- ments, a true Fmin is calculated. Fmin represents the true mini- mum noise figure of the device when the device is presented with an impedance matching network that transforms the source impedance, typically 50Ω, to an impedance represented by the reflection coefficient Γo. The designer must design a matching network that will present Γo to the device with minimal associ- ated circuit losses. 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 noise figure of the device is equal to Fmin only when the device is presented with Γo. If the reflection coeffi- cient of the matching network is other than Γo, then the noise figure of the device will be greater than Fmin based on the following equation. NF = Fmin + 4 Rn |Γs – Γo | 2 Where Rn/Zo is the normalized noise resistance, Γo is the opti- mum reflection coefficient required to produce Fmin and Γs is the reflection coefficient of the source impedance actually presented to the device. The losses of the matching networks are non-zero and they will also add to the noise figure of the device creating a higher amplifier noise figure. The losses of the matching networks are related to the Q of the compo- nents and associated printed circuit board loss. Γo is typically fairly low at higher frequencies and increases as frequency is lowered. Larger gate width devices will typically have a lower Γo as compared to nar- rower gate width devices. Typi- cally for FETs , the higher Γo usually infers that an impedance much higher than 50Ω is re- quired for the device to produce Fmin. At VHF frequencies and even lower L Band frequencies, the required impedance can be in the vicinity of several thousand ohms. Matching to such a high impedance requires very hi-Q components in order to minimize circuit losses. As an example at

900 MHz, when airwwound coils

(Q>100)are used for matching networks, the loss can still be up to 0.25 dB which will add di- rectly to the noise figure of the device. Using muiltilayer molded inductors with Qs in the 30 to 50 range results in additional loss over the airwound coil. Losses as high as 0.5 dB or greater add to the typical 0.15 dB Fmin of the device creating an amplifier noise figure of nearly 0.65 dB. SMT Assembly The package can be soldered using either lead-bearing or lead- free alloys (higher peak tempera- tures). Reliable assembly of surface mount components is a complex process that involves many material, process, and equipment factors, including: method of heating (e.g. IR or vapor phase reflow, wave solder- ing, etc) circuit board material, conductor thickness and pattern, type of solder alloy, and the thermal conductivity and ther- mal mass of components. Compo- nents with a low mass, such as the Minipak 1412 package, will reach solder reflow temperatures faster than those with a greater mass. The recommended leaded solder time-temperature profile is shown in Figure 21. This profile is representative of an IR reflow type of surface mount assembly process. After ramping up from room temperature, the circuit board with components attached to it (held in place with solder paste) passes through one or more preheat zones. The preheat zones increase the temperature of the board and components to prevent thermal shock and begin evaporating solvents from the solder paste. The reflow zone
