More power — Higher voltage enables higher power density, which helps reduce the number of transistors to combine.
Faster development time — With higher voltage, the output power can be increased while retaining a reasonable output impedance.
Easier matching to 50 ohms; transistors can be used wideband.
Design reuse — This impedance benefit also ensures pin-compatibility with current 50 V LDMOS transistors for better scalability.
Little to no retuning from existing 50 V power amplifiers.
Manageable current level — Higher voltage reduces the current losses in the system.
Wide safety margin — The higher breakdown voltage of 182 V improves ruggedness and allows for higher efficiency classes of operation.
Better reliability, higher efficiency.
