DESCRIPTION
The AM1517-012 power transistor isdesignedspecifically for Satellite communications applications
in the 1.5 − 1.7 GHz frequency range.
The device is capable of withstanding any mismatch load condition at any phase angle (VSWR
:1) under full rated conditions. The unit is an
∞
overlay, emitter site ballasted, geometry utilizing
a Refractory/Gold metallization system.
The AM1517-012 is supplied in the AMPAC Hermetic/Ceramic package with internal Input/Output
matching structures.
