Hi
Clemens,
Oh, OK. But anyway it was a very good hint to mention the
JUMA 500 TX since it leads me to the CMCD design and this paper which nicely
describes the problem of the VMCD desgin which i am trying in my first
tests.
The output C of the FETs is the problem. Since i want to have a
relatively high power (100W) at 12V DC, the primary impedance is very low.
So i have to use FETs with a very low on-resistance, ideally as low as
possible of course. To find them is no problem (e.g.
IRFP4368),
but the output C is much to high then. I tried a IRZF48N (2 of them of
course) as a compromise between RDSon and Cout but am just getting 60%
efficiency at 70W in the first attempt. That's not acceptable for a /p PA
that has to stay compact, i.e. without a big heat sink and/or a
fan...
The basics are well explained in this paper, makes fun to read
:-)

Paul:
It costs 300 Euro which is not to much.
Unfortunately you have to add 23%VAT tax within EU
and shipping costs
which I estimate to 30-40 Euro.
So we end up
somewhere around 400 Euro.
Interesting kit,though.
