1 MHz. It is rated at 100 watts of RF power with low harmonic and intermodulation distortion. A Class D design, the 100S1 will amplify inputs of AM, FM, SSB, pulse and any complex modulation signals within the bandwidth of the amplifier. The amplifier has 50 dB gain, it is unconditionally stable and will not oscillate even with combinations of mismatched source and load impedance.

Chapter 2 Operation 2.1 INTRODUCTION The 100S1 RF amplifier is used to amplify the RF level of signal sources in the 20 to 1 MHz. No tuning or any other form of adjustment is required. The 100S1 produces rated power output at its output connector into 50 Ohms. It will produce less power at other load impedances.

There is a current limit protection circuit to protect the unit, in addition to the input drive clamp. Current and voltage samples are taken from the output and fed to the BNC connectors on the front panel for monitoring purposes. The AC supply is fed through an EMI filter to the power supply that converts the AC to 53 Vdc for the amplifier and for the cooling fan and additional DC-DC converters to supply the floating + 15 V for the gate drivers and +/- 15 volt rails,...

Chapter 4 Maintenance 4.1 INTRODUCTION The E&I 100S1 RF amplifier requires no periodic maintenance. The instrument is unconditionally stable and is fail-safe under all load conditions. Damage can only be externally caused by overdrive in excess of 2 watts (+33 dBm) or back-feeding the output of the unit from another high power source or incorrect connection to the AC input.
