RF Power LDMOS Transistor
N--Channel Enhancement--Mode Lateral MOSFET
This 300 W CW transistor is designed for industrial, scientific, medical (ISM)
applications at 2450 MHz. This device is suitable for use in CW, pulse and
linear applications. This high gain, high efficiency device is targeted to replace
industrial magnetrons and will provide longer life and ease of use.
