There are many good transistors, for example CEL NE3514S02. In fact they are so good itself, that perform very well placed in unperfect designs. More interesting to use cheaper FETs, beyond stated limits. Similar results can be achieved with NE3512S02. Someone going even further using plastic packaged NE3210S01 (not micro-x package). I found forum threads and some web pages (japanese), that NE3210S01 was used to build K-band LNA, and oscillators. Does anybody tryed to use other devices beyond the limits, to build such devices? For example, ATF-36163, as it have tiny package and characterized up to 18GHz. Maybe some other choices?
