NPN microwave power transistor LTE42008R
FEATURES
• Diffused emitter ballasting resistors provide excellent
current sharing and withstanding a high VSWR
• Gold metallization realizes very stable characteristics
and excellent lifetime
• Input matching cell improves input impedance and
allows an easier design of circuits.
APPLICATION
• Common emitter class-A linear power amplifiers up
to 4.2 GHz.
DESCRIPTION
