DESCRIPT I ON
The AM82731-025 device is a highpower silicon bipolarNPNtransistor specificallydesignedforS-Band
radar pulsed outputand driver applications.
Thisdeviceiscapable ofoperation overa widerange
of pulse widths, duty cycles, and temperatures and
can withstand a 3:1output VSWR witha +1dBinput
over drive. Low RF thermal resistance, refractory/gold metallization, and automatic wire bonding
techniques ensure high reliability and product consistency(including phase characteristics).
The AM82731-025 is supplied in the Hermetic Metal/Ceramic package with internal Input/Output impedancematching circuitry, and is intended for militaryand other high reliability applications.
