N-CHANNEL GaAs HJ-FET
NE6510379A
3 W L-BAND POWER GaAs HJ-FET
DESCRIPTION
The NE6510379A is a 3 W GaAs HJ-FET designed for middle power transmitter applications for mobile
communication systems. It is capable of delivering 3 watt of output power (1/3 Duty pulse operation) with high linear
gain, high efficiency and excellent distortion.
Reliability and performance uniformity are assured by NEC’s stringent quality and control procedures.
