Description
PTB 20170
30 Watts, 1.8–2.0 GHz
Cellular Radio RF Power Transistor
The 20170 is a class AB, NPN, common emitter RF power transistor
intended for 26 Vdc operation from 1.8 to 2.0 GHz. Rated at 30 watts
minimum output power, it may be used for both CW and PEP
applications. Ion implantation, nitride surface passivation and gold
metallization are used to ensure excellent device reliability . 100% lot
traceability is standard.
