CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The input circuit uses a 9/1 balun transformer with a
prematch done by a series inductor and a shunt capacitor.
The shunt capacitor is optional but is useful to center the
input return loss (IRL). The input circuit return loss is always
better than 10.5 dB, equivalent to a worst case VSWR of 1.8.
The output circuit consists of a 4/1 transformer using two
4.7″ lengths of 10 Ω coaxial cable. It is also recommended
that three DC blocks in parallel be used in order to lower the
total equivalent series resistance (ESR) which is critical at
this high power.
The output balun is made from a 6.7″ length of “Sucoform
250” 50 Ω coaxial cable, and acts as a Pi match with
2 x 15 pF at the input and 5.6 pF at the output.
