Microwave power transistor BLS2731-20
FEATURES
• Suitable for short and medium pulse applications
• Internal input and output matching networks for an easy
circuit design
• Emitter ballasting resistors improve ruggedness
• Gold metallization ensures excellent reliability
• Interdigitated emitter-base structure provides high
emitter efficiency
• Multicell geometry improves power sharing and reduces
thermal resistance.
APPLICATIONS
• Common base class-C pulsed power amplifiers for radar
applications in the 2.7 to 3.1 GHz band.
