 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.
Pricing and Availability
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 http://www.macom.com.
