CREE CGHV14250 GaN HEMT | 250W L-Band Radar Power Transistor
Product Introduction: High-Efficiency Power for L-Band Radar
The CREE -Wolfspeed(MACOM) CGHV14250 is a high-performance Gallium Nitride (GaN) High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) engineered specifically to meet the rigorous demands of modern radar and communication systems. Optimized for L-Band radar amplifier applications, this robust device operates from DC up to 1.6 GHz, with a flexible tuning range that can support specific bands from 0.9 GHz to 1.8 GHz.

Unmatched RF Performance
The CGHV14250 is designed to deliver industry-leading power and efficiency. In a typical 1.2 – 1.4 GHz reference design, the transistor provides:
High Output Power: Typical output of 330 W (250W minimum).
Superior Efficiency: Typical drain efficiency of 77%, ensuring minimal heat dissipation and optimized power consumption.
Exceptional Gain: Provides a typical power gain of 18 dB, allowing for high-performance signal amplification.
Signal Integrity: Maintains a pulsed amplitude droop of less than 0.3 dB, critical for maintaining fidelity in pulsed radar operations.
Designed for Integration and Reliability
To support diverse engineering requirements, the CGHV14250 is available in two professional package options: a ceramic/metal flange package (CGHV14250F) and a pill package (CGHV14250P). The device is internally pre-matched on the input, simplifying the design-in process, while the output remains unmatched to allow for maximum tuning flexibility by the RF engineer.
For rapid development, MACOM offers comprehensive design support, including:
Reference Designs: A dedicated demonstration amplifier circuit (CGHV14250-AMP) for 1.2-1.4 GHz operation.
Simulation Models: Large-signal models available for both ADS and MWO platforms.
Environmental Compliance: The device is fully RoHS compliant.
Whether you are designing for air traffic control, weather monitoring, or defense-grade L-Band radar systems, the CGHV14250 GaN HEMT provides the reliability and high-power density required for next-generation RF applications.
