BBD3-1ACRF Power Amplifier

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The PA3-1AC model is a mobile VHF high band RF power amplifier intended for use in the mobile applications. This amplifier can deliver RF power from 10 to 45 W when driven with 1 to 5W and it will cover the frequency range from 150 - 174 MHz. The mobile amplifier is designed to be installed in the interior of a car or in the trunk. The amplifier’s dimensions are: 9.5"L x 3.0"H x 4.5" W (see figure 1) and the weight is 4 lbs. Figure 1. Dimension (C package). GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS The general specifications for the PA3-1AC amplifier are shown in this section. TABLE 1 OPERATION MODE:FM / CW OPERATING VOLTAGE:Nominal DC operating voltage is 13.8VDC and the specifications are given at this voltage. However, the minimum DC operating voltage is 11 Volts and the maximum DC operating voltage is 15 Volts as measured at the VDC input connector. Reduced DC input voltage will result in lower output power and efficiency. EIA DUTY CYCLE:WITH NO EXTERNAL COOLING: 45 W Output (FM)50% duty cycle NOTE: Use of TPL Mobile Amplifiers above the recommended duty cycle or in repeater applications is not recommended and voids the warranty.
