    Could this work with a irfp260n for a higher power output

    • @rfmanchannel6915
      @rfmanchannel6915  Рік тому

      Yes, the input impedance may not be the same so the turns ration on the input transformer may need to be modified. Also the size of the RF Chokes and output transformer may need to be larger. The current deign can safety handle 100 watts. 73

    Good presentation, but note that you can't calculate SWR as the ratio of the magnitude of the load impedance to 50 ohms, if the impedance is complex.

      I noted that too, otherwise a purely reactive 50 ohms impedance would result in a perfect 1:1 SWR instead of infinite SWR!

    At the end of the video, you mention that turns ratio has to be changed to 2 to 1 for transforming 25ohm impedance to 50ohm. But - if I am correct - impedance is changing by turns ratio squared, so it would transform 25ohms ot 100ohms.

    If you need a 1:1 ratio, how do you choose the number of turns? 1 on both sides? 2 on both sides? That was not clear to me.

    I must have missed it. On the transformer inductance. How did you arrive at 11.2uH? Seems to just appear without a calculation.

    Are you using the IRF510 from LT spice data base. I have copied your circuit and ran it on the LT spice. It gives totally different result. It appears that you are using some other IRF510 data parameters. I can see .include irf510.txt statement on your circuit diagram. If so where did you download the parameters from. Thanks

    Hi, thanks for sharing. I would like to ask about time parameters of IRF510 - since its operating in AB class does it mean that turn on and turn off delay parameters are not important - can the AB class operate faster?

  • @cristianstoica4544
    @cristianstoica4544 Рік тому

    Thanks for the series! On practical terms, I assume you already have a good idea of how much inductance you get from your cores. How do you confirm that? What do you use for measuring? I'm asking for LC meter recommendations for beginners if you can give one.

    • @rfmanchannel6915
      @rfmanchannel6915  Рік тому +1

      This is a good LC meter to start with. It can measure down to the NH range with good accuracy. www.amazon.com/Goupchn-Inductance-Capacitance-Measuring-Instrument/dp/B08PDZV6R7/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1S6PO1NEWI20O&keywords=LC+Meters&qid=1682432484&sprefix=lc+meters%2Caps%2C290&sr=8-7

    Hi i made a common emmiter amplifier for 200mhz signal with 2× gain
    I can amplify a 50 mv p-p to 100mv p-p but I can't do it for 2v to 4v p-p
    Why what values should be change???

    Thank you RF man, it is an amazing series of videos about building amplifiers. i was searching for this information for a long time.
    I am a Ph.D. student, and I would like to do my research on CMOS power amplifiers and low-noise amplifiers, I hope I can find an easy way to contact you and benefit from you.
    pleas provide me any contact that I can reach you.

      Hello David, I just viewed your video and have some suggestions. I would recommend that you increase your bias voltage to bias the amp in Class AB. You will need to measure the drain current while adjusting the bias voltage level. The idle current for 4 devices should be 500mA or so with no input signal. Also, I would add 2 RF chokes (30uH) to better filter your 50 volts. If you are looking for more power output, your output transformer will need to be larger (2 ferities stacked). I hope this helps.
