Integra Technologies, Inc. (ITI), a leading manufacturer of high power pulsed RF transistors, recently announced the development of the world's largest LDMOS pulsed device designed specifically to operate in S-band frequency range. The ILD2731M140 is a high power pulsed RF transistor designed specifically to operate in the 2.7 – 3.1 GHz frequency range for commercial S-band radars. The ILD3135M180 is a high power pulsed RF transistor designed specifically to operate in the 3.1 – 3.5 GHz frequency range for military S-band radars.

"We continue to set the pace in high performance devices in the S-band radar market." says John Titizian, Integra's founder and president "We now offer devices delivering the most pulsed peak output power in both the commercial and military S-band radar frequency bands using LDMOS."

"We have received excellent customer feedback for our existing S-band LDMOS devices and are excited to accommodate the higher pulse widths and duty cycles that are becoming more prevalent in today's marketplace" says Jeff Burger, Vice President of Engineering at Integra.

About the ILD2731M140
Part number ILD2731M140 is designed for S-Band radar applications operating over the 2.7 – 3.1 GHz instantaneous frequency band. Under 300µs pulse width 10% duty cycle pulsing conditions it typically supplies a minimum of 140 watts of peak output power with 12dB gain. Specified operation is with Class AB bias. The LDMOS transistor geometry utilizes a gold metallization system to achieve maximum reliability. The single ended device is housed in an industry standard ceramic flanged package with excellent thermal characteristics.
