RF Power LDMOS Transistors
High Ruggedness N--Channel
Enhancement--Mode Lateral MOSFETs
Designed for mobile two--way radio applications with frequencies from
136 to 520 MHz. The high gain, ruggedness and broadband performance of
these devices make them ideal for large--signal, common source amplifier
applications in mobile radio equipment.
