The ML485TRG part from Qorvo is a high-power GaN on Silicon Carbide (SiC) balanced transistor designed for applications where L-band performance and efficiency are paramount. With a maximum frequency range of 6 – 18 GHz, this device is ideal for pulsed and continuous wave (CW) communication systems operating in the L-Band. It offers an output power of 485 W, typical drain efficiency of 50%, and has a typical small-signal gain of 23 dB. The ML485TRG is also capable of operation with a wide range of DC supply options, with a minimum of 12V and a maximum of 28V. Additionally, its self-protection circuitry helps protect against common damaging conditions such as over-current, over-temperature, and VSWR.
