NPN microwave power transistor LXE16350X
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 and output
prematching ensures good stability
and allows an easier design of
wideband circuits.
APPLICATIONS
Common emitter class AB power
amplifiers for military and
professional applications at
1.65 GHz.
