2KW + VERY HIGH POWER 2x LDMOS BOARD LINEAR AMPLIFIER

A very high power solid state linear amplifier board. This board is designed for two LDMOS-FET's operating in a push-pull circuit.

A Variety of RF LDMOS-FET'S can be mounted on the board. 2x BLF 188,188XR 2400w out. (in my tests the 178 and 188 gave the best IMD results).

These boards are the result of a long R&D into. LDMOS FET high power linear amplifiers.

I have revised my design to improve matching and IMD figures. The board features a high power transmission line transformer wound on stacked ferrite toroids. For lower IMD, lower saturation.

And higher power output the board employs special quality coax yielding highly efficient impedance transformation. The dual sided 3 oz. And is 13 cm x 26 cm in size.

All critical RF capacitors are ATC for best rf performance. Efficient feedback circuitry ensures stable broadband operation.

Imax up to 65A on the (a) version and, up to 35-40A on the (b) lower power version. A good power supply that can be used with my amps or boards can be found here. Or a nother type that can be used with abit lower amperage here.

Bias is regulated on-board and thermally fused for extra protection. Thermal tracking of bias is also provided on board. This is a populated board but without the active LDMOS devices. The board is supplied ready for your devices to be dropped in. These are very high power boards.

The board has enough "headroom" to cover up most minor operating mistakes. The LDMOS devices with the "XR" are Extremely rugged devices!! The amplifiers have very good IMD since the devices are designed to loaf along at the designed power level. They are not pushed to the limit or to saturation! I was asked a few questions by members so here is my added reply.

Amps are made for 160-6m. Slight trade off to et the right balance in power/bandwidth so there is. About 10% drop on 6. As for duty cycle If the boards are mounted as needed on.

A proper heat sink with a good sized copper heat spreader with 10mm thickness. And air is directed on fins as well on top of board to cool the magnetic I. Was able to run the amps for a long time. Cores are large and many thus an.

Average rise of core temperature is also controlled As a result I have not. Seen core failure or saturation and far away from curie point. Of many cores gives better IMD and far better results than using A single.

Very large tube or core Also as seen in ON9CVD study on Magnetics. Tested the 2kw board with 2x BLF188XRS on a full copper heat sink with. Clamping the devices and not just using 4-40 screws at the tabs Results are.

Very good and when ran at 1600w out F2 and F3 were way down and very known. 10-11 MHz distortion of LDMOS (known physical property probably to the way the device is made). Over all a very stable and powerful board. Look at input VSWR curve I have added. All below 1:1.5. Please verify your address during checkout.
