CGH35060F1 / CGH35060P1 60 W, 3.3-3.9 GHz, 28V, GaN HEMT for WiMAX, Broadband Wireless Access Cree’s CGH35060F is a gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) designed specifically for high efficiency, high gain and wide bandwidth capabilities, which makes the CGH35060F ideal for 3.3-3.9 GHz WiMAX and BWA linear amplifier applications. The transistor is supplied in a ceramic/ metal flange and pill package. Cree GaN-on-SiC HEMTs are highly correctable, enabling even greater efficiency when used with digital pre-distortion (DPD).
