500-Watt Solid-State RF Power Amplifier AM-7209( )/VRC.

Abstract

The development, fabrication, and test of three advanced development model 500-watt VHF power amplifiers to be used to increase the output of presently-deployed RT-524 (VRC-12) VHF radios and future equipment such as the frequency hopping SINCGARS-V equipment is documented in this report. The power amplifier, as defined in US Army Communications-Electronics Command contract DAAB07-82-C-J231, is a state-of-the-art stand-alone design utilizing a combination of the latest design techniques in RF elements, control circuits, packaging techniques, and amplifier architecture.
