    3. THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION The Model 10000A225B RF amplifier consists of a .01-225 MHz RF amplifier assembly. The RF amplifier assembly consists of a preamp/driver module, a driver amplifier module, two-way splitter, and two four-way splitters that feeds (8) four-way splitters to drive (32) final amplifier modules. These 32 final amplifier modules are combined through (4) eight-way combiners, and a final four-way combiner to yield a combined power of 10000 watts or more.

    LDMOS and other ESD-sensitive devices. Troubleshooting the Model 10000A225B in a logical manner can speed the solution to a problem. The settings of potentiometers (pots), capacitors (caps), or other variables should not be disturbed until other problems have been eliminated.

  • Page 71: General - Reading Faults

    If the fault does not clear with the RF drive off, some other problem exists in the amplifier. The digital control panel of the 10000A225B indicates the output power from the 10000A225B and the power reflected back to it. If the reflected power is very high, with respect to the forward power, this could indicate that the output coax cable is defective or that the load being driven has a high VSWR.
