Transistors

A family of 2-GHz high-power RF transistors features the PTF10120, 10043, 10035, and 10112 models

Qorvo offers the TGM2635-CP 100W GaN as an X-band, high power MMIC amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s GaN on SiC Process. Its package is a 10-lead bolt-down with a cure Cu base for superior thermal management. Both RF ports allow for simple system integration, making the amplifier ideally suited for both military and commercial x-band radar systems and data links.

The QPD1009 and QPD1010 are discrete GaN on SiC HEMTs operating from the DC to 4 GHz frequency range. The QPD1009 is a 15W, 50V device with an output power level of 17W at 2 GHz, and a linear gain of 24 dB at 2 GHz. The 10W, 50V QPD1010 features an output power of 11W at 2 GHz and a linear gain of 24.7 dB at 2 GHz. These two devices are housed in low thermal resistance 3 x 3 mm packages, and are ideal for wideband or narrowband amplifiers, jammers, and for military radar, civilian radar, land mobile, military radio, and test instrumentation applications.

Northrop Grumman’s first three entries in their GaN MMIC Amplifiers have been developed for defense and commercial ground satellite communications terminal markets and the commercial wireless infrastructure market. 

The 0405-500L is an internally-matched, common emitter transistor capable of providing 500 Watts of pulsed RF output power in a push-pull configuration at one thousand and one hundred microsecond pulse width twenty–six percent duty factor across the frequency band 400 to 450 MHz

The PTF 10149 RF power transistor is intended for use in applications in the 920-960 MHz band

Microsemi’s 2729GN-500V RF transistor is based on GaN on SiC technologies and targeted at high-power air traffic control airport surveillance radar applications. The 2729GN-500V delivers unparalleled performance of 500W of peak power with 12 dB of power gain and 53% drain efficiency over band 2.7 to 2.9 GHz band.

Microsemi Corporation recently announced its first two RF power transistors utilizing silicon carbide technology for high power VHF and UHF band pulsed radar applications. Designated 0150SC-1250M and 0405SC-1000M, these RF Power transistors utilize state-of-the-art silicon carbide technology designed for VHF - 150 to 160 MHz, and UHF - 406 to 450 MHz respectively
