EXTRA-STRONG LINEAR AMPLIFIER
From 50 to 150 watts HF from 10 to 160m
Special SDR or multi-band BINGO STAR
By F6BCU
This new low-cost linear amplifier has exceptional performance;
operates from 1 to 30 MHz, while delivering a useful power output of interest across all the
bands. In relation to the price of the transistors used, low voltage Mosfets IRFZ24N (55V)
whose price varies from 1 to 1.50 euros depending on the retailer, the amplifier set is
really cheap. This does not prevent obtaining the following powers:
150 watts HF from 80 to 160 m, excitation 2 watts HF, 14.5V–18 to 20A
90 to 110 watts HF from 30 to 40m, excitation 2 to 3 watts HF, 14.5 V–13 to 15 A
70 to 80 W HF from 17 at 20m, excitation 3 to 4 watts HF, 14.5V–10 to 12A
40 to 60 W HF from 10 to 15 m, excitation 3 to 4 watts HF, 14.5V–8 to 10 A
To obtain a usable uniform excitation of 3 to 5 watts HF 1 to 30 MHz, you

TECHNICAL COMMENT
The excellent results previously obtained with the STRONG amplifier and a push pull
d'IRFZ24N led us to attempt the experimental construction of an amplifier
Linear with 4 x IRFZ24N in parallel push-pull.
Objectively, we must recognize that in our first trials, the performance of the 4 x IRFZ24N
It was deplorable, impossible to exceed 100 watts HF on 80 m.
But there was certainly a way to increase the efficiency and output power and
Through experimentation, we found the solution.
There is a technique during wideband amplification from 1 to 30 MHz which consists of
connect the output circuit here (S1) of the primary winding of TR2. And to increase
considerably the efficiency and the output power.
The experiment confirmed that a capacity of 1330pF (1000 pF + 330pF) across the terminals of
S1 of TR2 increased the power by 30% with the results stated on page 1.
Author's note:
We discovered at RADIO SPARE a brand of toroids WURTH that
the dimensions are: L = 28.5 mm, D = 19 mm, d = 9 mm, it is with this type of transformer that
we had the best HF results.
The quiescent current of each IRFZ24N Mosfet is set to 200mA.
The transformer TR1 at the beginning of the experiments was a Toroidal 50/43, but a
The BN43 2402 binoculars ensure better transfer of HF.

CONCLUSION :
A building reserved for builders
warning, which requires certain precautions. But
where the results are guaranteed.
Require good ventilation of the PA,
the radiator must always remain cold, never
to be lukewarm.
