Chapter 1 Introduction
The 3100LA is a broadband solid state amplifier covering the frequency spectrum
from 250 KHz to 150 MHz. It is rated at 100 watts of RF power with low harmonic
and intermodulation distortion. 150 watts of saturated power can be produced
with increased distortion products. A highly linear Class A design, the 3100LA will
amplify inputs of AM, FM, SSB, pulse and any complex modulation signals. The
amplifier has 50 dB gain, it is unconditionally stable and will not oscillate even
with combinations of mismatched source and load impedance. It is protected
against failure due to output load mismatch and/or overdrive.
RMS forward and reverse powers are monitored by a front panel meter. An
integral power supply permits operation from 115/230 single phase AC power.
1.2 INSTRUMENTATION IDENTIFICATION
Each amplifier is identified by a serial number tag on the back panel of the unit.
Both the model number and the serial number should be quoted to identify
specific unit.
1.3 SPECIFICATIONS
