3:1 VSWR AT RATED CONDITIONS
HERMETIC STRIPAC PACKAGE
POUT = 0.5 W MIN. WITH 5.0 dB GAIN AT 4.0 GHz
DESCRIPTION:
The MSC4000 common-base, hermetically sealed silicon NPN
microwave power transistor features a unique Microgrid

structure and can withstand 3:1 VSWR at any phase angle under
rated conditions. It is designed for Class C amplifier applications
in the 2.0 – 4.4 GHz frequency range.
