I'm guessing a bit here.....but the numbers should be 'ballpark'. The 'cold' end of the plate choke is bypassed with maybe a total of around 5000pF to ground. That's about -j17 ohms. The plate choke

probably best done with a transmission line transformer, using a 100 ohm line - maybe 91 ohm coax? But I read somewhere that it is not as forgiving on SWR as the classical way, plus of course, the lo

As a Class AB stage has a second harmonic component of plate current only 6dB down on the fundamental, what sort of Q do you run in the pi network to get the extra 37dB of suppression needed to meet

Vic, The negative screen current is normal in a 4CX1000. See the Eimac data sheet. In 'ENABLED', you need more negative bias to cut off the tube, and it's a good idea to get into cut off (but only ju

A very simple method which is adequate for most amateur use is to couple diode detectors to the input and output of the amplifier. The input detector goes to the X input of an oscilloscope and the ou

The ARRL handbook amp used the detectors to fix the load line - you have to tune for maximum plate RF Volts first and then get the ratio of grid to plate volts correct to get the load line right. Aut

Manfred, For SS amps, the detector approach has the problem that it doesn't readily bring out the generally poor high order IMD of SS amps. For tube amps, it's adequate. 73 Peter G3RZP ______________
