    959B SSB SWR

    given 100 watts of output from a fixed 50 ohm transmitter into a 50 ohm load, how can we confirm the output impedance of the transmitter? since Z = E / I, we measure the voltage and current present at the transmitter output. in the meantime we have already been given P and Z. now we derive I and...

    the swr protection afforded rf power transistors is contingent on their operation within the device manufacturers specifications. "no high swr protection circuit needed." the user can implement this protection anytime he wishes...

    high swr when more power is added

    given 100 watts of output from a fixed 50 ohm transmitter into a 50 ohm load, how can we confirm the output impedance of the transmitter? since Z = E / I, we measure the voltage and current present at the transmitter output. in the meantime we have already been given P and Z. now we derive I and...

    Capt Crunch posted: "One pushed 2X2290s @ 160 watts pep into it and it did 675 watts PEP." let's look at the gain of the 4X2SC2879. the minimum gain of a 2SC2879 is 13 db. with a power multiplier factor of 20X. in a transistor rated for 100W PEP output at 13 db. the required drive input for...

    Adjustments for resonance

    "the swr on the transmission line between the antenna and a matching network at the input to the line is determined ONLY by the mismatch conditions at the load and IS NOT CHANGED or BROUGHT DOWN by the matching network." "any lowering of the swr by using the device indicates ONLY the mismatch...

    Mathamatical equation for 14.91mhz,15.81mhz?

    the complete cobra 29ltd service manual. download and read the section entitled "theory of operation/s." http://cbtricks.com/radios/cobra/29ltd_29ltd_st_29wx_st/graphics/cobra_29ltd_sm.pdf it would appear as though someone was attempting to increase the frequency coverage.
