NPN microwave power transistor LV2327E40R
FEATURES
• Interdigitated structure provides
high emitter efficiency
• Diffused emitter ballasting resistors
providing excellent current sharing
and withstanding a high VSWR
• Gold metallization realizes very
stable characteristics and excellent
lifetime
• Multicell geometry gives good
balance of dissipated power and
low thermal resistance.
• Input and output matching cell
improves the impedances and
facilitates the design of wideband
circuits.
APPLICATIONS
Common emitter class A linear
wideband power amplifiers in the
2.3 to 2.7 GHz band.
QUICK REFERENCE DATA
