Chapter 1 Introduction
The 1040L is a broadband solid state amplifier covering the frequency spectrum from 10
KHz to 5 MHz. It is rated at 400 watts of RF power from 30 KHz to 5 MHz. Over 500 watts
of saturated power can be produced with increased distortion products. A highly linear
Class AB design, the 1040L will amplify inputs of AM, FM, SSB, pulse and any complex
modulation signals. The amplifier has 55 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 and/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
