1 ABSTRACT
Application Note ECO7901
For application in driver or final stages of TV-transposers in band IV/V (470-860 MHz) a linear wideband power amplifier has been designed with 2 transistors BLW34 coupled by means of 3 dB −90° hybrids. Each transistor is adjusted in class-A at VCE = 25 V and Ic = 0.6 A. The peak sync output power for a 3-tone I.M. distortion of −60dB varies between 3.6 and 5.4 W. The power gain is 9.1 ± 0.3 dB. Input and output VSWR are below 1.3. 2 INTRODUCTION
This report describes the realisation of a wide-band UHF power amplifier for TV transposer service in band IV and V (470 − 860 MHz). The amplifier is designed with the BLW34 transistor being developed for ultra linear applications operating in class A. Ea...
