DESC RIPTIO N
The AM81214-060 device isa highpower transistor
specifically designed for L-Band radar pulsed output and driver applications.
The device is capable of operation over a wide
range of pulse widths, duty cycles, and tempera-
tures and is capable of withstanding∞:1 output
VSWR at rated RF conditions. Low RF thermal
resistance and computerized automatic wire bonding techniques ensure high reliability and product
consistency.
The AM81214-060 is supplied in the AMPAC
Hermetic Metal/Ceramic package with internal
Input/Output matching structures.
