NPN microwave power transistor
FEATURES
•
Interdigitated structure provides high emitter efficiency
•
Diffused emitter ballasting resistors providing excellent
current sharing and withstanding a high VSWR
•
Gold metallization realizes very stable characteristics
and excellent lifetime
•
Multicell geometry gives good balance of dissipated
power and low thermal resistance
•
Internal input and output prematching ensures good
stability and easy broadband use.
APPLICATIONS
•
Common base class-B broadband amplifiers under CW
conditions in military and professional applications.
