Freescale has announced the availability of 11 new commercial RF power LDMOS products that can meet the requirements of US defense electronics applications. This is the first set of products released as part of the company’s strategic defense initiatives for its RF power business, announced in June 2013.
Freescale now provides support for US defense customers, enabling them to optimize the performance of these RF devices for radar, military communications and electronic warfare applications. These products are included in their longevity Program to assure their availability for a minimum of 10 or 15 years, depending on the product. All LDMOS device fabrication, assembly and testing is performed in Freescale owned facilities in the United States.
A couple of products from this range can be seen below:
MMRF1305HS – A ruggedized 100 watt RF power LDMOS transistor that operates from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz with only two bands. Capable of performing into 65:1 VSWRs, this device is suitable for high load mismatch applications.
MMRF1306H - A highly rugged 1.25 kW RF power LDMOS transistor designed for use in high VSWR CW and pulse applications such as HF, VHF and low-band UHF radar and radio communications. Multiple applications circuits are available to demonstrate device performance at different frequencies and signal types.
