Chapter 1 Introduction
The 1020L is a broadband solid state amplifier covering the frequency spectrum from 10
KHz to 5 MHz. It is rated at 200 watts of RF power with low harmonic and intermodulation
distortion. Over 300 watts of saturated power can be produced with increased distortion
products. A quasi linear Class AB design, the 1020L will amplify inputs of AM, FM, SSB,
pulse and any complex modulation signals. The amplifier has 53 dB gain it is
unconditionally stable and will not oscillate even with combinations of mismatched source
and load impedance. It is protected against failure due to output load mismatch or
overdrive.
RMS forward and reverse powers are monitored by a front panel meter. An integral power
supply permits operation from 115/230 single phase AC power.
1.2 INSTRUMENTATION IDENTIFICATION
Each amplifier is identified by a serial number tag on the back panel of the unit. Both the
model number and the serial number should be quoted to identify specific unit.
1.3 SPECIFICATIONS
Physical and electrical specifications are listed in Table 1-1 below
