PIN CONNECTION DESCRIPTION The AM1517-012 power transistor is designed specifically for Satellite communications applications in the 1.5 − 1.7 GHz frequency range. The device is capable of withstanding any mismatch load condition at any phase angle (VSWR ∞:1) under full rated conditions. The unit is an overlay, emitter site ballasted, geometry utilizing a Refractory/Gold metallization system. The AM1517-012 is supplied in the AMPAC™ Hermetic/Ceramic package with internal Input/Output matching structures. ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS (T case = 25 ° C)
