1517-20M
20 Watts, 36 Volts, 200µs, 10%
Radar 1480 to 1650 MHz
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1517-20M is an internally matched, COMMON BASE transistor capable of
providing 20 Watts of pulsed RF output power at 200 microseconds pulse width,
10% duty factor across the band 1480 to 1650 MHz. This hermetically solder-
sealed transistor is specifically designed for upper L-Band radar applications. It
utilizes gold metallization and diffused emitter ballasting to provide high
reliability and supreme ruggedness.
