DESCRIPTION
The MSC83303 is a common base hermetically
sealed silicon NPN microwave power transistor
utilizing an overlay, emitter site ballasted geome-
try with a refractory/gold metallization system.
This device is capable of withstanding an infinite
load VSWR at any phase angle under rated con-
ditions. The MSC83303 is designed for Class C
amplifier/oscillator applications in the 1.0 - 3.0
GHz frequency range.
