PRELIMINARY
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1214GN-180LV is an internally matched, COMMON SOURCE,
class AB GaN on SiC HEMT transistor capable of providing over 16.6dB
gain, 180 Watts of pulsed RF output power at 3ms pulse width, 30% duty
factor across the 1200 to 1400 MHz band. The transistor has internal
pre-match for optimal performance. This hermetically sealed transistor is
designed for L-Band Radar applications. It utilizes gold metallization and
eutectic attach to provide highest reliability and superior ruggedness.
