Nitronex, which makes gallium nitride on silicon RF power transistors for the wireless industry, said it expanded the performance data of its 28V, 5W class high electronmobility transistor to include frequencies between 5.1-5.2 GHz and 5.7-5.8 GHz.
The product, designated NPTB00004, achieves 27 dBm average output power at 2% EVM in 5.2 GHz WiMAX systems and 28 dBm average output power at 2% EVM in 5.8 GHz WiMAX systems.
“This data on the NPTB00004 provides our customers with an ideal solution for WiMAX applications in the 5 GHz band of operation,” said Ray Crampton, director of marketing at Nitronex. “The NPTB00004 is a uniquely versatile product that, combined with other broadband devices from
Nitronex, allows designers to develop power amplifiers for multiple frequency bands using a common power device lineup.”
The NPTB00004 transistors are packaged in a plastic over-molded PO150S package with an exposed thermal pad. Typical pricing is $9 each in quantities of 1,000.
