PTB 20191
12 Watts, 1.78–1.92 GHz
RF Power Transistor
Description
The 20191 is a class AB, NPN, common emitter RF power transistor
intended for 26 Vdc operation from 1.78 to 1.92 GHz. It is rated at 12
watts (CW) minimum output power, or 15 watts (PEP) output power.
Ion implantation, nitride surface passivation and gold metallization
are used to ensure excellent device reliability. 100% lot traceability is
standard.
