NPN microwave power transistor LLE16120X
FEATURES
• Diffused emitter ballasting resistors
providing excellent current sharing
and withstanding a high VSWR
• Interdigitated structure provides
high emitter efficiency
• Gold metallization realizes very
good stability of the characteristics
and excellent lifetime
• Multicell geometry gives good
balance of dissipated power and
low thermal resistance
• Internal input prematching ensures
good stability and allows an easier
design of wideband circuits.
APPLICATIONS
Intended for use in common emitter,
class AB power amplifiers in CW
conditions for professional
applications at 1.65 GHz.
