Chapter 1 Introduction
The 3100L is a broadband solid state amplifier covering the frequency spectrum from 150
KHz to 120 MHz. It is rated at 100 watts of RF power with low harmonic and
intermodulation distortion. Over 200 watts of saturated power can be produced with
increased distortion products. A highly linear Class A design, the 3100L will amplify inputs
of AM, FM, SSB, pulse and any complex modulation signals. The amplifier has 50 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
