CGHV14500
500 W, 1200 - 1400 MHz, GaN HEMT for L-Band Radar Systems
Cree’s CGHV14500 is a gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility
transistor (HEMT) designed specifically with high efficiency, high gain and wide bandwidth capabilities, which makes the CGHV14500 ideal for 1.2 - 1.4 GHz L-Band radar amplifier applications. The
transistor could be utilized for band specific applications ranging from 800 through 1600 MHz. The package options are ceramic/metal flange and pill package.
