81. Re: [Amps] 32 Volt LDMOS being superceded by 50 V? (score: 1)
Author: Manfred Mornhinweg <manfred@ludens.cl>

Pat, Are 32 V LDMOS amplifier transistors becoming scarce, or hard to find, as spares, due to the newer 50V LDMOS taking over new designs? I would say that definitely the trend is toward higher volta

Gene, I am puzzled as to why the solid-state devices seem to be more linear than tubes ("fire-FET's"?). As I understand it, FETs are square-law devices that generate mostly low-order and second-order

Gary, While I don't know any of the specific transformers you mention, I will try to clear up your questions in a general way. I always thought the KVA came from V x I Yes, that's correct. The proble

Carel, Hi, I was wondering what else, besides bad harmonic suppression, will happen when I design my (single band) output matching network (PI-L) with low Q (lowest Q needed to get the match done) ?

Carel, I don't mind even 0 dB of harmonic suppression.... because that is easily solved afterwards with fixed valued C's/L's lowpass filter. If you have no harmonic suppression in the matching circui

I can very well understand the temptation to use MOTs, since they are so widely available for free, and let's face it, most of us are cheapskates! But please do understand what MOTs are: They are the

Hi Steve, Carl, and all, Normally, 10 or 15% reduction in volts is enough to bring the magnetising current down, Not really, with MOTs. It would still have an excessive magnetizing current! I just to

Adrian, You may like RF Splatter from switching power supplies but I sure do not! No, my taste isn't that crazy. I also prefer as low a noise level as I can get. That's largely why I moved away from

Peter, The downside to the switcher must be reliability. There are far more parts, so the MTBF must be less. Yes, this part is true, specially when comparing a switcher to a simple, non-regulated tra
