APPLICATION INFORMATION
RF performance in the common source class-AB broadband test circuit. T
h
= 25
°C;
R
th j-h
= 1.87 K/W,
unless otherwise specified.
MODE OF OPERATION
CW, class-AB (2-tone)
CW, class-AB (1-tone)
Ruggedness in class-AB operation
The BLF1046 is capable of withstanding a load mismatch corresponding to VSWR = 10 : 1 through all phases under the
following conditions: V
DS
= 26 V; f = 960 MHz at rated load power.
Tuning Procedure
For high gain and efficiency:
In CW mode (P
D
= 1 W; f = 960 MHz) tune C2 and C16 (see Figs. 13 and 14) until IRL <
−15
dB, then adjust C6 and C8
for high gain until G
p
> 14 dB at P
L
= 50 W.
For linear mode:
Tune for high gain and efficiency mode, then apply two tone signal (f
1
= 960 MHz; f
2
= 960.1 MHz) at P
L
= 45 W (PEP)
and tune first C2 and then C6 and C8 for lowest d
3
(below
−28
dBc).
