N-CHANNEL GaAs MES FET
NES1823P-45
45 W L, S-BAND PUSH-PULL POWER GaAs MES FET
DESCRIPTION
The NES1823P-45 is a 45 W push-pull type GaAs MES FET designed for high power transmitter applications for
PCS, DCS, PHS and IMT2000 base station systems. It is capable of delivering 45 W of output power (CW) with high
linear gain, high efficiency and excellent distortion under the condition of 12 V operation. Its primary band is 1.8 to
2.3 GHz, however with different matching, 60 MHz or less of instantaneous bandwidth can be achieved anywhere
from 0.8 to 2.3 GHz. The device employs 0.9
µ
m Tungsten Silicide gates, via holes, plated heat sink, and silicon
dioxide passivation for superior performance, thermal characteristics, and reliability.
Reliability and performance uniformity are assured by NEC’s stringent quality and control procedures.
