RF Power LDMOS Transistor
N--Channel Enhancement--Mode Lateral MOSFET
MRF7S24250N
The 250 W CW RF power transistor is designed for industrial, scientific,
medical (ISM) and industrial heating applications at 2450 MHz. This device is
suitable for use in CW, pulse and linear applications. This high gain, high
efficiency rugged device is targeted to replace industrial magnetrons and will
provide longer life and easier servicing.
