Description
PTB 20038
25 Watts, 860–900 MHz
Cellular Radio RF Power Transistor
The 20038 is a class AB, NPN, common emitter RF power transistor
intended for 25 Vdc operation across the 860 to 900 MHz frequency
band. Rated at 25 watts minimum output power, it may be used for
both CW and PEP applications. It is specifically designed for high
efficiency operation at average power levels around 10 watts with
high PEP capacity. Ion implantation, nitride surface passivation and
gold metallization are used to ensure excellent device reliability . 100%
lot traceability is standard.
