The RF MOSFET Line
RF Power Field Effect Transistor
N–Channel Enhancement–Mode Lateral MOSFETs
The MRF1517T1 is designed for broadband commercial and industrial
applications at frequencies to 520 MHz. The high gain and broadband
performance of this device makes it ideal for large–signal, common source
amplifier applications in 7.5 volt portable FM equipment.
