Linear amplifier construction data
Like everyone else building Pic-A-Star I'm building my own PA,
thinking that a modern approach (and low cost) is necessary I'm planning on
building a 40Watt LDMOS amplifier, probably using 4 off RD16HHF1 devices.
Here I have collected relevant data sheets for information, some
have been "pinched" of the authors sites... if they want them back
let me know!
Transistor data with approx. prices (+VAT in low quantities):
