MAGX-001090-600L00
Applications
Civilian Air Traffic Control (ATC), L-Band
secondary radar for IFF and Mode-S avionics.
Military radar for IFF and Data Links.
Description
The MAGX-001090-600L00 is a gold metalized
matched Gallium Nitride (GaN) on Silicon
Carbide (SiC) RF power transistor optimized for
pulsed avionics and radar applications. Using state
of the art wafer fabrication processes, these high
performance transistors provide high gain,
efficiency, bandwidth, and ruggedness over a wide
bandwidth for today’s demanding application needs.
High breakdown voltages allow for reliable and
stable operation under more extreme
mismatch
load conditions compared with older semiconductor
technologies.
