10 Watts, 18 Volts, Class A
Linear 1500 - 1800 MHz
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CASE OUTLINE
The 1617AM10 is a COMMON EMITTER, HIGH GAIN transistor capable of
providing 10 Watts, P1dB., Class A, RF output power in the band 1500 - 1800
MHz. The transistor includes double input and output prematching for full
broadband capability. Gold metalization and diffused ballasting are used to
provide high reliability and supreme ruggedness. The transistor uses a fully
hermetic solder sealed package.
