Transistors

Microsemi has leveraged its industry-leading expertise in S-band RF power transistors to create a family of GaN-on-SiC solutions that are tailored to support the requirements of next-generation systems requiring higher power, better efficiency, and wider bandwidth than is possible using conventional silicon or SiC process technologies. For applications operating in frequency bands up to 20GHz, the wide bandgap material properties of GaN-on-SiC technology enable smaller systems with improved voltage, gain, broadband performance, drain efficiency, and long-term reliability.

This GaN RF Power Transistor operates in the DC-6 GHz frequency range. It’s ideal for applications involving jammers, military and civilian radar, test instrumentation, professional and military radio communications, and wideband or narrowband amplifiers.

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.

These rugged LDMOS (laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor) transistors operate over a wide 1 MHz to 2 GHz frequency range. They’re ideal for applications subject to harsh conditions like HF-UHF transmitters and transceivers, white space data transceivers, defense and aerospace systems, television transmitters, test equipment, and radar systems

The MAGX-011086 is a wideband transistor optimized for operations in DC - 6 GHz. This GaN HEMT is made with operating output power levels of 4W (36 dBm) in an industry standard, low inductance, and a surface mount QFN package.

Designed for CDMA and TDMA applications in the PCS band, model PTF10112 is an RF transistor that features gold top metal and gold bond wires

These 35W GaN SiC RF Power Transistors are ideal for commercial and military radar, professional and military radio communications systems, jammers, wideband or narrowband filters, and test instrumentation. They cover the DC to 3.5 GHz frequency range and are available in a bolt down flanged package and in a solder down earless package.

NXP offers a complete portfolio of SiGe:C wideband transistors for maximum performance and design flexibility, and the BFU630F product is a good example of it. This BFU630F wideband transistor delivers extremely low noise and high maximum gain, making it ideal for sensitive RF receivers in high-performance applications such as next-generation cell phones. At the same time, the high operating frequencies are ideal for use in microwave applications in the 10 to 30 GHz range, such as satellite TV receivers and automotive collision avoidance radar. NXP’s innovative silicon-germanium-carbon (SiGe:C) BiCMOS processes enable this outstanding performance, combining the performance of gallium-arsenide (GaAs) technologies with the reliability of silicon-based processes.
