° Generals. This
KN 100 FM amplifier is designed to operate on 87.5 - 108 MHz
frequency range for FM radio broadcasting appliances, giving up to
100 W of output power in continuous service. It is used as exciter
in the PFS Series FM transmitter.
° COLD FET™ technology. This
revolutionary technology, a DB Elettronica international patent, is
used in the KN 100 amplifier to optimize the input matching of
MOS-FET transistors in order to obtain broadband amplification
stages without any RF component. This means:
- high RF efficiency > 83%
- lower heating
- higher devices safety
- higher total reliability
- low AC power consumption
° Extraordinary RF efficiency: the
COLD-FET™ technology allows to obtain from the amplifiers the full
power rating reducing of almost 20% the devices recommended
operating DC voltage and current.
° Uninterrupted service. A
proportional foldback protection circuit reduces the output power
without any on-air interruption, keeping the RF devices always
within the safety conditions in case of:
- load mismatching
- environmental over-temperature
- cooling failure
- failure in one or more amplification modules
- failure in power supply modules
° Broadband: no
adjustments are required for the full power operation in the
87.5÷108 MHz band.
° The automatic
power control circuit adjusts
and stabilizes with precision (±1%) the maximum output power in the
whole band.
