L&S BAND MEDIUM POWER GaAs MESFET NE6500496
FEATURES
• HIGH OUTPUT POWER: 4 W
• HIGH LINEAR GAIN: 11.5 dB
• HIGH EFFICIENCY (PAE): 45%
• INDUSTRY STANDARD PACKAGING
DESCRIPTION
The NE6500496 is a medium power GaAs MESFET designed
for up to a 4 W output stage or as a driver for high power
devices. The device has no internal matching and can be used
from UHF frequencies up to 3.0 GHz. The chips used in this
series offer superior reliability and consistent performance for
which NEC microwave semiconductors are known.
The NE6500496 Transistors are manufactured to NEC's strin-
gent quality assurance standards to ensure highest reliability
and consistent superior performance.
