Microwave power transistor
FEATURES
•
Diffused emitter ballasting resistors
improve excellent current sharing
and withstanding a high VSWR
•
Interdigitated common-base
structure provides high emitter
efficiency
•
Gold metallization with barrier
realizes very stable characteristics
and excellent lifetime
•
Multicell geometry gives good
balance of dissipated power and
low thermal resistance
•
Internal input and output
prematching networks allow an
easier design of circuits.
APPLICATIONS
Intended for use in common-base
class C power amplifiers at 1.6 GHz.
