The AM82731-050 device is a high power silicon
bipolar NPN transistor specifically designed for SBand radar pulsed output and driver applications.
The device is capable of operation over a wde
range of pulse widths, duty cycles and temperatures and can withstand a 3:1 output VSWR with
a +1 dB input overdrive. Low RF thermal resistance, refractory/gold metallization, and computerized automatic wire bonding techniques ensure
high reliability and product consistency.
The AM82731-050 is supplied in the AMPAC
Hermetic Metal/Ceramic package with internal
Input/Output impedance matching circuitry, and is
intended for military and other high reliability applications.
