The MAGX-002731-180L00 is a gold metalized
matched Gallium Nitride (GaN) on Silicon
Carbide RF power transistor optimized for civilian
and military radar pulsed applications between
2700 - 3100 MHz. 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. The
MAGX-002731-180L00 is constructed using a
thermally enhanced Cu/Mo/Cu flanged ceramic
package which provides excellent thermal
performance. High breakdown voltages allow for
reliable and stable operation in extreme
