DESCRIPTION
The AM83135-015 device is a high power silicon
bipolar NPN transistor specifically designed for
S-Band radar pulsed output and driver applications.
This device is characterized at 100µsec pulse
width and 10% duty cycle, but is capable of operation over a 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 (including phase characteristics).
The AM83135-015 is supplied in the IMPAC™
Hermetic Metal/Ceramic package with internal
Input/Output impedance matching circuitry, and
is intended for military and other high reliability
applications.
