FEATURES
•
Interdigitated structure; high emitter efficiency
•
Diffused emitter ballasting resistors providing excellent
current sharing and withstanding a high VSWR
•
Gold metallization realizes very stable characteristics
and excellent lifetime
•
Multicell geometry gives good balance of dissipated
power and low thermal resistance
•
Input and output matching cell allows an easier design
of circuits.
APPLICATIONS
Intended for use in common base class C broadband
pulse power amplifier from 960 to 1215 MHz for TACAN
application.
DESCRIPTION
NPN silicon planar epitaxial microwave power transistor in
a SOT439A metal ceramic flange package, with base
connected to flange. It is mounted in common base
configuration and specified in class C.
