Not true at all Bill. Let's look at a lossless system and infinite generator, since that would be the extreme. The voltage, if current goes to zero, goes to infinity. The sum of infinity and zero is

I worked on a satellite ground station tx some 35 years ago. (10kW CW at 6GHz). That had a fibre optic cable looking down the waveguide towards the antenna; if an arc started because of excessive VSW

Even when the SWR is good, that can be the best way. It certainly used to be the way that big (over 10kW) transmitters were tested professionally - you've got to dissipate the energy as heat anyway.

The radar that I mentioned also had a photomultiplier looking down the waveguide. This was Haystack Observatory's planetary radar, which (at the time) put out several hundred kW at 8 GHz, _CW_, by me

Mismatches can also reduce dissipation. If the load impedance presented to the transistor increases, as a general rule dissipation decreases. The dissipation curve is almost always very lopsided, wi

I suppose it depends on the type of operation. In SSB operation or even CW operation, I doubt the transistor is so c Many amplifiers AND rigs have that problem. Especially since many exciters bang t

In the context we're discussing, this is very true. However, it's not a 'tablet of stone' for all RF stages everywhere under all conditions, falling down at UHF and beyond, where the time taken for b

At one time, most QST/handbook designs did have catching zeners on collectors. How much use they are is another matter, as zeners do take time to breakdown. BTW, is it zener or avalanche breakdown be

The zeners were from collector to ground, and were usually 36v zeners on a 13.6 v supply. This makes me feel very old, as I can remember semiconductor manufacturers making a big thing out of the fact

SWR is totally dependent on the load impedance, not the source impedance. That's why you can change radio's or sources or tune the source all you like and SWR will remain the same. That works with a

Most collectors have RF voltages, unless the transistors are not used in working RF power amplifiers. The Zener's mentioned certainly do clamp the peak collector voltages caused by mismatched loads.

If the SWR is 1.3:1 and it increases to 1.7:1, both forward and reflected power will increase. A conventional detector will work fine. The only case I can think of where a conventional detector syste
