Product Description
The MAGX-001214-125L00 is a gold metalized matched
Gallium Nitride (GaN) on Silicon Carbide RF power transistor
optimized for pulsed L-Band radar applications. Using state
of the art wafer fabrication processes, these high
performance transistors provide high gain, efficiency,
bandwidth, ruggedness over a wide bandwidth for today’s
demanding application needs. High breakdown voltages
allow for reliable and stable operation in extreme
mismatched load conditions unparalleled with older
semiconductor technologies.
