Abstract
This report describes the work performed in the development and fabrication of a linear amplifier transistor with a goal of 100 watts PEP at 30 megahertz with -30 dB intermodulation distortion, 15-dB power gain, and efficiency greater than 35 percent. The transistor structure incorporates diffused ballast resistance for second-breakdown protection. A temperature-compensating diode has been placed inside the transistor package to provide Class AB bias-point control. The package is a uniquely designed stud package having short, flat, low inductance, isolated terminals. There are four isolated terminals: three terminals for the transistor and one terminal for the diode. The pellet is sealed by encapsulation in a silicon resin. Performance data on the submitted final samples reveals that 20 percent of the transistors were capable of attaining the major goal of 100 watts PEP with -30 dB intermodulation distortion. Median power gain on sample transistors was 14 dB and collector differences were near 50 percent. The device was capable of 150 watts dissipation at room temperature. (Author)
