DESCRIPTIO N
The AM1214-300 device is a high power transistor
specifically designed for L-Band radar pulsed output and driver applications.
This device is designed for operation under moderate pulse width and duty cycle pulse conditions
and is capable of withstanding 5:1 output VSWR
at rated RF conditions. Low RF thermal resistance
and computerized automatic wire bonding techniques ensure high reliability and product consistency.
The AM1214-300 is supplied in the BIGPAC Hermetic M etal/ Cerami c package wi th i nternal
Input/Output matching structures.
