Description
PTB 20239
12 Watts, 1465–1513 MHz
Cellular Radio RF Power Transistor
The PTB 20239 is a class AB, NPN, common emitter RF power
transistor intended for 26 Vdc operation from 1465 to 1513 MHz.
Rated at 12 watts minimum output power, it may be used for both CW
and PEP applications. Ion implantation, nitride surface passivation
and gold metallization ensure excellent device reliability. 100% lot
traceability is standard.
