UHF power LDMOS transistor
A 650W LDMOS RF power transistor for DVB-T broadcast applications optimised to give extremely high power and efficiency in Doherty solutions.
Whitepaper Doherty Architectures in UHF
This White Paper explains different PA architectures which can be used in today’s UHF Broadcast industry.
In this paper a brief discussion will be given to explain these new Doherty architectures and to help customers finding the best solution for their transmitter. Ampleon’s transistor family BLF8XX can support these Doherty architectures.
