Component Overview, Specifications & Bill of Materials
1000W HF AMP COMPONENT SET
This amplifier design covers frequencies from 2 to 50 Mhz with a power output level of 1000 watts using RF power MOSFETs. The MRF154 used in this design is considered as a state of the art device. The MRF154 is usable up to 100 Mhz with a frequency range of 2 to 50 Mhz. Its applications include military communications, jammers, low channel TV, etc. Although the point of saturation is well over 1000 watts, the amplifier was tested for linearity at 800 watts. The MRF157 can be substituted for the MRF154 in this design.

Engineering Application Notes & Builder FAQ
Compatible Active RF Devices: Engineered for MRF154 / MRF157 MOSFETs operating at 50V DC across 2-50 MHz (1000W (1KW) output).
Recommended Thermal Management: Pair this module with our Model 99HS + CHS-6 Copper Spreader machined heatsink assembly for reliable continuous duty-cycle dissipation.
Spectral Purity & Harmonic Filtering: For amateur radio and commercial broadcast compliance, follow the amplifier output with an appropriate 50-ohm low-pass harmonic filter (such as our FL1 series for HF).
Key Engineering Highlights
- Verified RF Performance: Inspected and kitted to meet strict solid-state HF, VHF, and UHF operating standards.
- Drop-In Compatibility: Ideal for Motorola application note builds, commercial transmitter maintenance, and custom linear pallet designs.
- No Minimum Order Quantities: Fast domestic and international shipping with most orders shipping in under 1 week.
