1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1 Operating Instructions 1.1 Front Panel Indicators
PWR LED The Power LED shows that the dc supply is connected to the transmitter.
RFO LED
The RF Output LED indicates that the amplifier is being driven and that the forward output power is above a preset level. The indication level is set by RV1 which is accessible through the side of the case. (After removing 20 screws)
TEMP LED
The Temperature LED indicates when the amplifier temperature is too high. The power is automatically reduced if the output transistors temperature rises above safe limits.
1.2 Internal Adjustments
All internal adjustments are factory set and should not need readjustment under normal conditions.
1.3 Output Power
The output power is set to the desired level watts by RV2. It determines the threshold of the ALC voltage which is fed back to the transmitter module to regulate the power. The output power of standard amplifiers can be set to any level between 25 and 75 watts. The high power versions with “H” suffix model numbers can be set between 50 and 100 watts.
WARNING
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RF Technology could void your authority to operate this equipment. Specifications may vary from those
given in this document in accordance with requirements of local authorities. RF Technology
equipment is subject to continual improvement and RF Technology reserve the right to change performance and
specification without further notice.

2 Circuit Description
The following descriptions should be read as an aid to understanding the block and schematic diagrams at the rear of this manual.
2.1 Amplifiers
The RF power amplification is provided by one or two transistors, Q4 and Q5. The standard power version uses one transistor (Q4) and the high power version uses two. Each transistor is rated at 75 watts output. The input and output impedances of the transistors are matched to 50O by microstrip matching networks.
WARNING
Ensure that the output power setting complies with the equipment’s licence requirements. Failure to do so may result in penalties being imposed by the
licensing authority.
RF Technology PA150 Page 5
2 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The amplifiers are broad band and do not have any tuning adjustments. The “A” versions are optimized for the frequency range 136-156 MHz while the “B” versions cover 154-174 MHz. The dc supply is fed to the amplifiers through resistors R21 and R22. This allows the collector current of each amplifier to be measured at the test socket.
2.2 Power Splitter/Combiners
The high power versions use zero degree power splitters and combiners. They consist of lumped element 1/4 wave 70O pi networks and 100O RF resistors (C43-50, L17-20, R19-20). This configuration provides wider bandwidth and better balance than lower cost 90 degree hybrids.
2.3 Directional Coupler
The forward and reverse power components are measured throug a coupled line directional coupler. The output of the coupled line is frequency compensated by R1-4 and C51-52 before being detected by D1 and D3. The voltage output of the detectors is proportional to the forward and reflected power.
2.4 Low Pass Filter
A low pass filter consisting of L12-16 and C39-42 reduces the harmonic components to less than -80dBc. The filter uses a combination of lumped elements and printed microstrips to obtain the required harmonic attenuation.
2.5 Power Control Circuits
The forward and reverse voltages from the directional coupler are amplified and inverted by U2a and U2b. The amplified voltages are combined before connecting to the input of error amplifier U2d. Error amplifier U2d compares the detected voltage with the dc reference voltage from output power trimpot RV2. The amplified difference at the output U2d is supplied to the rear panel system connector for connection to the T150 ALC input.
2.6 RF Output Indicator
The forward power voltage is compared with the pre-set dc reference voltage from RV1 and U2c. The output of U2c is used to turn on the RFO LED and provide an output power logic signal to the test connector.
RF Technology PA150 Page 6
3 ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE RV1 is normally set so that the RFO LED comes ON at 1-3 db below the normal power output.
2.7 Over Temperature Protection
Thermistor RT1 is mounted to the case of output transistor Q4. If the transistor case temperature rises above 90 degrees C the resistance of RT1 increases and Q2 is turned ON.
This causes the TEMP LED to come on and also reduces the dc reference voltage to the output power error amplifier U2d. The input power will then be reduced by the transmitter ALC circuits and the output transistors are kept within safe operating limits.
3 Alignment Procedure
The following procedures may be used to align the amplifier for optimum performance.

4 Specifications 4.1 Description
The power amplifiers are designed for use with the T150 series transmitters to provide 50-150 watts output. Output power regulation is provided by connecting the output of the directional coupler to the ALC input of the T150. the drive from the transmitter is then automatically adjusted to maintain the required output. The regulated power level can be preset over a wide range from 25 to 150 watts depending on the available driver power. Sensing circuits are provided to protect the output transistors from excessive temperatures. If the output transistor case temperature rises to 90 degrees C, the input drive will be reduced to prevent damage.
4.2 Physical Configuration
The power amplifier is designed to fit in a 19 inch rack mounted frame. The installed height is 4RU (178mm) and the depth is 350mm. The amplifier is 95.25mm or three Elcipse modules wide. An extruded aluminium heat sink with vertical fins is used. The temperature rise is normally less than 30 degrees at 50 watts output.
