The intrinsic-barrier design extends transistor frequency
range
withoutsacrificing
power-handlingcapacity. A
review of the design principles is presented, together with
adescription of a moderate-powerdevelopmental model,
the M1830. Aset of 156 M1830 unitswasrecentlymade
in the laboratory; 53 of these possessed measurable VHF
characteristics,anddiagramsarepresentedhereshowing
parameterdistributions for theseunits.Outputpower
determinationsweremade for 15 units(notnecessarily
thebestones of the group). Nine units gave morethan
20 milliwatts of sustainedusefuloutputat 200 mega-
cycles per second. The bestunitstudied indetailthus
far displayed an alpha of 0.88 at 100 cycles persecond,
ohmic base resistance of 106 ohms at 250 megacycles per
second, collector
capacitance of 0.2 micromicrofarads,
groundedbase cutoff frequency of 238 megacycles per
second,andoutput power of 30 milliwatts at 200 mega-
cycles per second.
