5.6 10Watt Power Amplifier (12-002105)
5.6.1 Description
The power amplifiers fitted to this unit (up & downlink paths) are multi-stage, solid state
power amplifiers. Class A circuitry is employed throughout the device to ensure excellent
linearity over a wide dynamic frequency range. All the semi-conductor devices are very
conservatively rated to ensure low device junction temperatures and a long, trouble free
working lifetime.
The power amplifiers should require no maintenance over their operating life. Under no
circumstances should the cover be removed or the side adjustments disturbed unless it is
certain that the amplifier has failed; since it is critically aligned during manufacture and
any re-alignment will require extensive test equipment.
