1.2 Features and benefits
High power gain
Easy power control
Excellent ruggedness
Source on mounting base eliminates DC isolators, reducing common mode
inductance.
1.3 Applications
Avionics transmitter applications in the 960 MHz to 1215 MHz frequency range such
as Mode-S, TCAS and JTIDS, DME or TACAN.
