CGH25120F

120 W, 2300-2700 MHz, GaN HEMT for WiMAX and LTE

Crees CGH25120F is a gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) designed specifically for high efficiency, high gain and wide bandwidth capabilities, which makes the CGH25120F ideal for 2.3-2.7GHz WiMAX, LTE and BWA amplifier applications. The transistor is supplied in a ceramic/metal flange package.
