DESCRIPTION
The 800 MHz MASTR III Power Amplifier Assem-bly is
a wide band RF power amplifier operating over the 851-870
MHz range without tuning. Its main function is to amplify the
10mW FM signal from the Transmitter Synthesizer to the
rated RF output at the antenna port. The output of the Power
Amplifier Assembly is adjust-able from rated power to 10dB
below rated power at the PA output J104.
The assembly consists of a printed wiring board (A1) and
associated components, including a power module and an RF

power transistor, mounted to the heat sink assembly. The
printed wiring board (A1) contains both the power amplifier
circuitry and the power control cir-cuitry. The heatsink as-
sembly includes a copper heat spreader for the power transis-
tor.
Unfiltered supply voltage, A+, for the power ampli-fier
circuits enters the assembly via feedthrough capaci-tor, C1.
Power cable W4 routes the A+ from C1 to J103 on the PWB.
Filtered A+ voltage for the power control circuit enters the
assembly via control cable W13 which connects to the PWB
at J201.
