PTB 20017
150 Watts, 860–900 MHz
Cellular Radio RF Power Transistor
Description
The 20017 is a class AB, NPN, common emitter RF power transistor
intended for 25 Vdc operation across the 860 to 900 MHz cellular
radio frequency band. Rated at 150 watts minimum output power, it
may be used for both CW and PEP applications. Ion implantation,
nitride surface passivation and gold metallization are used to ensure
excellent device reliability. 100% lot traceability is standard.
