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
