Ruggedness in class-AB operation
The BLF1046 is capable of withstanding a load mismatch corresponding to VSWR = 10 : 1 through all phases under the
following conditions: V
= 26 V; f = 960 MHz at rated load power.
DS
Tuning Procedure
For high gain and efficiency:
In CW mode (P
for high gain until G
= 1 W; f = 960 MHz) tune C2 and C16 (see Figs. 13 and 14) until IRL < −15 dB, then adjust C6 and C8
D
>14dB at PL=50W.
P
For linear mode:
Tune for high gain and efficiency mode, then apply two tone signal (f
and tune first C2 and then C6 and C8 for lowest d
(below −28 dBc).
