DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The MS2552 device is a high power pulsed transistor specifically
designed for DME/TACAN avionics applications.
This device is capable of withstanding an infinite load VSWR at any phase
angle under full rated conditions. Low RF thermal resistance and semi-
automatic bonding techniques ensure high reliability and product
consistency.
The MS2552 is housed in the industry-standard AMPAC metal/ceramic
hermetic package with internal input/output matching structures.
