TYCO ELECTRONICS ANNOUNCES M/A-COM 1,000 WATT BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR FOR
AVIONICS APPLICATIONS
Transistor
Ideally Suited for Tactical Air Navigation System and Similar Short
Pulse Applications
LOWELL, Mass. – May 8, 2007
– Tyco Electronics today announced the M/A-COM MAPRST1030-1KS, a new
1,000 W peak, class C bipolar transistor designed for 1030 MHz pulsed
avionics applications. The transistor is ideally suited to operate in
IFF/TACAN (tactical air navigation system) or similar short pulse formats
and features a minimum gain of 8.0 dB (>8.6 dB typical) with 45%
minimum collector efficiency (>50% typical) on a 50Vdc supply.
“The one thousand watt power rating on this new transistor can greatly
enhance the range capabilities of new avionics systems,” said Andrew
Tse, product line manager, Tyco Electronics M/A-COM Radar and Avionics.
“Additionally the unique power capability of the product will contribute
to more compact system designs, as one device can replace a pair of
devices in the final amplifier circuit architecture.”
Designed
for maximum durability, the M/A-COM MAPRST1w030-1KS is housed in a hermetic,
ceramic/metal package for high reliability that can tolerate a 10:1
load mismatch without damage or loss in performance. M/A-COM brand driver
stages for the MAPRST1030-1KS are also available, including the MRF10005,
MRF10031 and MRF10150.
The M/A-COM MAPRST1030-1KS is priced
at $393 USD each in production quantities of hundreds. Pricing is subject
to change. Contact Tyco Electronics’ M/A-COM products domestic and international
sales channels for price and delivery quotes. Datasheets and supporting
technical documents are available online at
