3 kW linear amplifier with four ART1K6 LDMOS fets

 

 Circuit boards of the RF part

  

 Drilling holes in copper plate

 Fets soldered in a cooling plate

 

 Two RF modules with a heatsink

 

 

 Each module is tested separately

 

 Four modules with cooling plates and combiner and divider

Dummy load spectrum

 

6-band HF diplexer

 

Test at 1,5 kW per band

160 m

80m

                             

40 m without filter and with filter

20 m

15 m

 

10 m

 

Need more attenuation for 3rd harmonics at low band.
