Product specification
NPN microwave power transistor
FEATURES
• Diffused emitter ballasting resistors
providing excellent current sharing
and withstanding a high VSWR
• Interdigitated structure provides
high emitter efficiency
• Gold metallization realizes very
good stability of the characteristics
and excellent lifetime
• Multicell geometry gives good
balance of dissipated power and
low thermal resistance
• Internal input and output
prematching ensures good stability
and allows an easier design of
wideband circuits.
APPLICATION
Intended for use in common emitter,
class AB amplifiers in CW conditions
for military and professional
applications between 1.7 and 2 GHz.
LXE18400X
