This video introduces my new 65 volt LDMOS RF Board. It used an NXP MRFX1K80H LDMOS Transistor and features a newly design broadband output transformer which saves cost. The board is designed to operate across the entire HF band from 160 to 10 meters. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing one of these boards at 770-500-5945 or PM me on Facebook (RF Man).

Been playing with this design for sometime with pretty good results especially with a Pi LPF to reduce harmonics. However I was never able to get the 2 devices to work good with 1 xformer. Great video.

Nice build. I'd like to see what the Bird reads once you've cleaned up the signals with a low pass filter.

Very nice! can't wait to do a build with one of these bad boys. Watched it when you released it but don't think I commented on it....Man I need to get my butt over there and visit you man and catch up soon. I love the growth you have made :) LOVE IT!

What kind of power supply you used to get 60V ? I am also using MRFX1K80 for my homebrew HF amplifier but just got 800W from LPF output with 53V power supply. Is it possible to get 1.5kW from LPF output with 65V on 160m band ？ Thank you.

How do you adjust the optimization for the upper part of the band?

very good project.. The amplifier can operate 100% heavy duty. For example, a 48-hour contest delivering maximum power?

What modifications have been made to this board since the release? Wasn’t this the board that no one had any luck with? Seems it presented lots of trash on the second, third, fourth ect in real life applications.

Like all pallets, you will need to add a LPF for FCC compliance.

@rocknroooollllll 11 ай бұрын

LPFs for these kind of amps are _NOT_ an optional extra. Your bird is reading most likely a square wave. It will not be accurate under these conditions, and will 'overread' like crazy. This is probably an 800W amp. More like 600 if you want good linearity.@@rfmanchannel6915

Couple of questions… Will it operate on 160m and at what efficiency? Where can the copper heat spreader be obtained? Thanks

@markkennard861 10 ай бұрын

Have found 6mm copper used for industrial electrical switch boards. Make sure its flat as mating to the aluminium is essential. Good luck.

Hello, how does a Zener regulate by temp, when it is only soldered to the board. What class is this biased in, AB? Sorry, Ldmos is Chineasium to me

@rfmanchannel6915 2 жыл бұрын

This amplifier is class AB Bias. The Negative Temp Coefficient (−2 mV/°C) of the Zener diode provides temperature compensation. I have openings in my PC board so you can place the body of the diode directly on the copper heat spreader. Regards

How is the transistor mounted to the heat spreader?

@rfmanchannel6915 2 жыл бұрын

I drill and tap the copper heat spreader and use high quality thermal compound.

@markkennard861 10 ай бұрын

I would reconsider that option. Soldering down to the copper provides better heat dissipation and less heat in the high current path.

@rfmanchannel6915 2 жыл бұрын

The input drive is 2 watts Avg. The PEP or swing can be as high as 60 watts. Normally, an attenuator pad is used on the input for high powered radios.

I have built a GS35B on 6m. The LDMOS amp is far less work. The gain on these things is crazy. Used 188xr on 6m, 2m, and the FM band. They are bulletproof.

This output power is meaningless without running it through an appropriate low pass filter for each band. Your "Bird watts" show all the garbage harmonics, as well as the fundamental. LPFs are _NOT_ an optional extra for testing or using these amps. Show how many "Bird Watts" you have AFTER an appropriate LPF. You need to also show the waveform on a scope, as measured across the dummy load. If it is not a pure sine-wave, even the mighty Bird readings are plain inaccurate. NONE OF YOUR VIDEOS SHOW THE POWER UNDER CORRECT USAGE. Nor do they show linearity and IMD. Without this setup and these readings, your measurements mean nothing. Please do it properly, using a cleaned up sine wave output and a 2-tone IMD test, You know that some CB guy who buys an amp from you will NOT put an LPF after it? So sell them as part of the amplifier. Anything else is irresponsible.
