DESCRIP TION
The AM83135-050 device is a high power silicon
bipolar NPN transistor specifically designed for SBand radar pulsed output and driver applications.
This device is characterized at 10 µsec pulsewidth
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 AM83135-050 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.
