EGN21A090IV
High Voltage - High Power GaN-HEMT
DESCRIPTION
The EGN21A090IV is a 90 Watt GaN-HEMT that offers high efficiency,
high gain, ease of matching, greater consistency and broad bandwidth
for high power L-band amplifiers with 50V operation. This device is
targeted for high voltage, low current operation in digitally modulated
base station applications - ideally suited for W-CDMA base station
amplifiers and other HPA designs while offering ease of use.
