GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CASE OUTLINE
55KT, STYLE 1
The DME 500 is a high power COMMON BASE bipolar transistor. It is
designed for pulsed systems in the frequency band 1025-1150 MHz. The
device has gold thin-film metallization for proven highest MTTF. The
transistor includes input and output prematch for broadband capability. Low
thermal resistance package reduces junction temperature, extends life.
