Hi David,

I am most interested in any info on the Harris DX25U ... is it am AM TX,
using Pulse-width modulation by any chance ?

Best wishes

Hello Rik and all.

I've recently been working (during my 9-5) on some medium wave
transmitters.
For reference material I've been looking at the Harris DX25U which uses
IRFP350 power mosfets in class D with 230V DC to generate 25kW carrier and
100kW peak.

claimed efficiency for the PA alone is 92 - 97%  with the whole TX
operating
at 85%.
This seems to be the same as all the other class D circuits we're used to
on
LF.

For interest:
The PA has 64 amplifier modules combined.    1 module = 1kW+
The combiner has multiple toroids threaded onto a large copper bar.
Modulation is 12 bit digital which then switches the drive to the modules
on
/ off
PA circuits available if interested.
