DESCRIPTION
The AM83135-040 device is a high power silicon
bipolar NPN transistor specifically designed for SBand radar pulsed output and driver applications.
This devi ce is c haracter ized at 1 0µsec pul se wi dth
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- 040 is supp lied in the IMP AC™ Hermetic Metal/Ceramic package with internal
Input/Output impedance matching cir cuitry, and is
intended for mili tary and other high reliability applications.
