GHz Technology Debuts ELM Transistor Series

January 21, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

GHz Technology Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) has announced the first series of next-generation transistors designed to handle onboard communications. The company's ELM transistor series include the MDS350L and MDS550L high-power transistors that incorporate advanced chip designs and packages to achieve increased power output and maintain high power gain.

The MDS transistors are complementary with the company's 0912-25 and 0912-7 transistors. Designed for use in high-duty bursts in L-band (1030/1090 MHz), these transistors can send 16 message segments repeated within 2.16ms. All devices operate at 36V or more and have a pulse droop on the high-power transistors of 0.5dB.

Available now, the MDS350L is priced at $330 and the MDS550L is $400 when ordered in 100-piece lots.
