TPR 500A

500 Watts, 50 Volts, Pulsed

Avionics 1030 - 1090 MHz

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TPR 500A is a high power COMMON BASE bipolar transistor. It is

designed for pulsed systems in the frequency band 1030-1090 MHz. The

device has gold thin-film metallization and diffused ballasting for proven

highest MTTF. The transistor includes input prematch for broadband

capaility. Low thermal resistance package reduces junction temperature,

extends life.
