Evaluation of the Tunable Solid State Power Amplifier for Receiver- Transmitters RT-246/VRC and RT-524/VRC

Abstract

This report presents results of electrical tests on the solid state power amplifier for Receiver-Transmitters RT-246/VRC and RT-524/VRC developed by the RF Communications Division of the Harris Corporation, Rochester, NY, under contract number DAAB07-75-C-0146. The equipment was tested with regard to power output at room temperature, temperature extremes, and at input voltages of 22 to 30 Vdc; spurious emissions and intermodulation; dc input requirements; amplifier protection; and duty cycle capability. All test results show satisfactory performance of the test items. However, power output at +150 F ambient temperature and harmonic attenuation in the high band are marginal.
