The spec sheet seemed to indicate the devices can be biased for linear operation. But with over 20dB gain, the devices would have to be reined in a bit for USA use. Looks like a pretty rugged device:
"Capable of Handling a Load Mismatch of 65:1 VSWR, @ 50 Vdc, 230 MHz, at all Phase Angles, Designed for Enhanced Ruggedness, 1250 Watts Pulsed Peak Power, 20% Duty Cycle, 100 µsec Capable of 1250 Watts CW Operation Unmatched Input and Output Allowing Wide Frequency Range Utilization Device can be used Single-Ended or in a Push-Pull Configuration Qualified Up to a Maximum of 50 VDD Operation Characterized from 30 V to 50 V for Extended Power Range Suitable for Linear Application with Appropriate Biasing Integrated ESD Protection with Greater Negative Gate-Source Voltage Range for Improved Class C Operation Characterized with Series Equivalent Large-Signal Impedance Parameters RoHS Compliant." ... according to the Freescale Semiconductor web page. But then, I'm a QRP 5W guy.. so I won't be buying any amps. :) 73 de Ray K2ULR On Apr 10, 2011, at 12:31 PM, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: > > Nice for pulsed or CW devices.
