Theory of Operation RF Path 5.2.1 The BLAH1000 E Amplifier 700-900MHz (P/N: W1345091) consists of a 3 input embedded router, a class A / AB driver amplifier, a class AB power amplifier, a bi-directional high dynamic coupler and a mechanical RF Relay.
The RF Combiner acts as a 2 ways in-phase combiner between the outputs of the power amplifier and the mechanical relay and feeds the power to the input of the bi-directional high dynamic coupler. 26 (53) BRUKER BIOSPIN Operating & Service Manual Version 002...
The peak power limitation is checked for each sample (10 million samples per second), and the maximum peak value is latched then cleared by a read operation (for monitoring purpose). Operating & Service Manual Version 002 BRUKER BIOSPIN 27 (53)
Other protections The control board also detects the following faults : - Power supply fault - Fan failure - Heat sink temperature to protect against thermal overstress - Fault detection timings 28 (53) BRUKER BIOSPIN Operating & Service Manual Version 002...
