Hi Graham, All,

 

I made an EER PA and Transverter to 3.5MHz for use on 500kHz based on Jim’s first design.

And I’m sure there are a few others about.

 

First prototype of Class D PA

3.5MHz to 500kHz Transverter with Phase and Envelope outputs to PA

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15400416/IMGP0371.JPG

 

Switchable 50 or 200W EER PA with automatic protection

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15400416/IMGP0415.JPG

 

LPF and TX/RX Relay

Final Trio

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15400416/IMGP0385.JPG

 

Works a treat on all the usual modes and is even quite respectable on SSB.

90% efficient on full output.

 

Stefan’s attempt at a switched mode envelope supply sounds interesting, and a nice way to get mid power efficiency up.

Jim M0BMU  

 

Published  a  design  and  made a working  system  ........  he  also  eliminated the  need  for  a complicated   drive  by using  complimentary   out put  devices  ... I don't know  who else  made such a thing .... ?

 

G.. 

 

PS ::  I vote  for  Jims  design   !

To my knowledge the first description in amateur literature of an

EER (envelope elimination and restauration) PA (400W) was by DJ7AW in CQ-DL 4/2001.

It's still in service.

I have the article as pdf  (in German) and can send it to anyone interested in building such

a PA which is not an easy task.Therefore,as far as I know, only two such PAs have been built.

One by DJ7AW and one in South America (Joe?).

Mal,

 

Things  have  moved on a bit

 

You  can  use a  class  E/D    amp  in linear , with  envelope  restoration  , that  maintains  the  efficiency  , s/n   imd   is  about   35 dB .

 

The  Op structure allows for  up to  50% loss  of  signal   randomly  along the  time  line , ie  first 50% , last  50% or  randomly  distributed

 

Problem with  short burst is the  'average energy' level  , like a  radar  , huge KW peak  powers  but  only  watts  average power .....and  yes  , wide  bandwidth .

 

Detecting  a carrier  is one thing  .. to  recover  data is a much  more difficult  thing and requires  a higher  level of energy
