I have searched the extent literature a bit and have not found the answer
to the following question:
What are the componenents that contribute to tube input impedence
for a directly heated cathode, GG configured triode?
I have a recently obtained a "way off broadway" tube, the GS31B from
a friend in the EU and am interested in building a 6m amplifier with it.
The tube was manufactured in the old Soviet Union for use in spamming
transmitters.
These are the characteristics that I have:
Coaxial construction, directly heated cathode
Heater is AC 12-13,2 V / 3,1-3,7 A; Typical is 12,6 V / 3,4 A
Plate Dissipation 1000 W
Plate Voltage up 3000 V
Plate current 1000 mA (max 1,4 A/30sec)
Plate Temperature 200 degrees Celsius max!
Grid Temperature 120 degrees Celsius
Cathode Temperature 120 degrees Celsius
Required Air flow 100 l/min
Grid Voltage min -200 max 0 V
Grid current 50 mA (max 100 mA)
Grid Dissipation 22W
FQ max 1000 MHz
C (g-p) 3,8-5,2 pF
C (g-c) 19-24 pF
C (c-p) 0,12 pF
Also, how would I determine an appropriate bias for the tube?
This is my first vacuum tube RF amplifier and I have a feeling it will
be a tough project, however, the tube was fairly inexpensive and if
I screw something up badly, I will not have lost much.
BTW my HV PS is 2.2kv @ 1A
Thanks in advance,
George
