NPN microwave power transistor LWE2015R
FEATURES
• Interdigitated structure provides high emitter efficiency
• Diffused emitter ballasting resistor provides 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.
APPLICATIONS
• Common emitter class-A amplifiers up to 2.3 GHz in CW
conditions for military and professional applications.
