NTE478
Silicon NPN Transistor
RF Power Output, P
Description:
The NTE478 is a 12.5 Volt epitaxial silicon NPN planar transistor designed primarily for VHF communications. This device utilizes diffused emitter resistors to achieve infinite VSWR under operating
conditions, and is internally input matched to optimize power gain and efficiency over the band.
Features:
D Designed for VHF Military and Commercial Equipment
D 100W Min with Greater than 6.0dB Gain
D Withstands Infinite VSWR under Operating Conditions
D Low Intermodulation Distortion (–32dB)
D Diffused Emitter Resistors
Absolute Maximum Ratings: (TC = +25°C unless othrwise specified)
