RF Power LDMOS Transistors
N--Channel Enhancement--Mode Lateral MOSFETs
These RF power transistors are designed for applications operating at
frequencies between 960 and 1215 MHz such as distance measuring
equipment (DME), transponders and secondary radars for air traffic control.
These devices are suitable for use in pulse applications, including Mode S
ELM.
