EB104 600 WATT HF AMPLIFIER

This push-pull/parallel circuit produces a power output of 600 watts across the 2 to 30 MHz band using four RF devices without the added loss and cost of power splitters and combiners. Motorola MRF150 RF power FET makes it possible to parallel two or more devices a relatively high power levels. This amplifier can be operated from supply voltages of 40 to 50 volts depending on linerarity requirements. The bias for each device is independently adjustable, therefore no matching is required for the gate threshold voltages.
