High-Power, High-Efficiency UHF Amplifier Design

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA049289 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The load-pull technique is shown to be a powerful tool in the design of high-power high efficiency UHF amplifiers. Construction techniques are described which produce high-efficiency amplifiers in the UHF band which require no tuning after assembly. The performance of several amplifiers covering a wide range of output powers is described.
