- All, I am trying to add bias to a commercial class B NPN RF module. The input and outputs are 4:1 and 1:4 'binocular' transformers, feedback is a simple CR network. The output has a significant 3rd h

- Hi Dan, the binocular transformer causes the two transistors in the amplifier to operate in a push-pull fashion. A characteristic of push-pull design is that the fundamental and all odd harmonics com

- Ah, good question. The case is a simple single tone, x MHz in produces an amplified output of x MHz at plus some level and a series of odd harmonics, 3 times x. The 3rd harmonic is down 10 db from th

- Hi Dan, Odd harmonics are caused by pretty much the same things as even harmonics, namely distortion. In a push-pull arrangement, which it sounds like your amplifier is (probably most transistor PAs

- I'd try putting a single steering diode from the CT junction of the input transformer to the bias network. Just ensures safety. Are you SURE that you have good bias? Your bias is a LOW impedance sour
