Introduction
The AGR18060E is a 60 W, 26 V N-channel laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) RF power field effect transistor (FET) suitable for enhanced data for global evolution (EDGE), global system for mobile communication (GSM), and single carrier or multi-carrier class AB power amplifier applications. It is packaged in an industry-standard package and is capable of delivering a minimum output power of 60 W, which makes it ideally suited for today’s wireless base station RF power amplifier applications.
