CGHV35400F

400 W, 2900 - 3500 MHz, 50-Ohm Input/Output Matched, GaN HEMT for S-Band Radar Systems

Cree’s CGHV35400F is a gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT)

designed specically with high efciency, high gain and wide bandwidth capabilities,

which makes the CGHV35400F ideal for 2.9 - 3.5 GHz S-Band radar amplier applications.

The transistor is matched to 50-ohms on the input and 50-ohms on the output. The

CGHV35400 is based on Cree’s high power density 50 V, 0.4 µm GaN on silicon carbide

(SiC) foundry process. The transistor is supplied in a ceramic/metal ange package, type

440217.
