2.1 INTRODUCTION
The 2100L RF amplifier is used to amplify the RF level of signal sources in the 10
KHz to 12 MHz range. No tuning or any other form of adjustment is required.
The 2100L will work into any load impedance. Into a short circuit or infinite load
at some phase angles it may protect itself at power greater than 80% rated
power output. Any power reflected due to output load mismatch is absorbed in
the amplifier. Therefore, although the output impedance is 50 ohms (maximum
VSWR: 2:1), the amplifier will work into any load impedance.
