HOW TO GET STARTED

If the fixture is a new build:

1. Check gate bias connection using an ohmmeter: it should read open circuit.

2. Check drain DC power terminal using an ohmmeter: short gate bias to ground and

drain DC power terminal should read open circuit.

Initial power on:

1. Mount baseplate onto a heatsink capable of dissipating more than 40 W.

2. Terminate RF output with a 50 ohm load capable of dissipating more than 100 W.

3. Connect RF input to a 50 ohm source with RF off.

4. Set gate bias to 0 V.

5. Apply 40 to 50 Vdc to drain DC terminal. Current should be 0 A.

6. Adjust gate bias to desired target current, typically 1-10% of full rated current

(50-500 mA).

7. Slowly increment RF input power source taking care not to exceed 1 W. Monitor

drain DC current and RF output power (4 A max at 100 W).

8. Check drain DC current, RF output power and temperature (4 A max at 100 W).

Shutdown:

1. Shut off RF input power.

2. Reset gate bias to 0 V.

3. Remove drain DC voltage.

Assembly notes:

• Mount all SMT devices on PCB (device values are dependent on frequency

of operation).

• Make sure no solder blobs are on non-component side of board.

• Trim leads of MRF101AN to shoulder.

• Mount board onto baseplate.

• Mount device using thermal grease, solder only after tightening device

mounting screw.

• Mount connectors and solder center pin.

• Connect bias network if used.
