DESCRIPTION
The NES2427P-140 is a "twin" transistor device consisting of
two pairs of GaAs MESFET chips which may be combined
externally in either balanced or push-pull configurations. It is
designed for mobile and fixed wireless (WLL) systems, and
with modification of the external matching circuit, can be used
for 2.1-2.6 GHz applications. It is capable of delivering 140 W
of output power (CW) with high gain, high efficiency and
excellent linearity. The device employs 0.9
µm
Tungsten
Silicide gates, via holes, plated heat sink, and silicon dioxide
and nitride passivation for superior performance, thermal char-
acteristics, and reliability.
Reliability and performance uniformity are assured by NEC's
stringent quality control procedures.
