DESCRIPTION
The AM1214-100 device is a high power Class
C transisto r specific ally desi gned for L-Ban d Radar
pulsed driver applications.
This device is capable of operation over a wide
range of pulse widths, duty cycles, and temperatures and is capable of withstanding 3:1 output
VSWR at rated RF conditions. Low RF thermal
resistance an d compu teri zed au tomati c wire bon ding techniques ensure high reliability and product
consistency.
AM1214-100 is su pplied in the grounded IMPAC™
hermetic metal/ceramic package with internal
input/output matching structures.
