NPN microwave power transistor
FEATURES
•
Diffused emitter ballasting resistors provide excellent
current sharing and withstanding a high VSWR
•
Gold metallization realizes very stable characteristics
and excellent lifetime
•
Input matching cell improves input impedance and
allows an easier design of circuits
APPLICATION
•
Common emitter class-A linear power amplifiers up
to 4.2 GHz.
DESCRIPTION
