DESCRIPTION
The AM1517-025 power transistor is designed
1
specifically for Satellite communications applications in the 1.5 - 1.7 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
4

2
refractory/Gold metallization system.
The AM1517-025 is supplied in the AMPAC
TM
Hermetic/Ceramic package with internal Input/
Output matching structures.
