NPN microwave power transistor RX1214B300Y
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 improves power sharing and reduces
thermal resistance
• Internal input and output matching networks for an easy
circuit design.
APPLICATIONS
• Common base class-C wideband amplifiers operating
under pulsed conditions, recommended for L-band
radar applications.
