My "Bailey" amps (Wireless World c. 1970) have lots
of internal resistances, all soldered in neatly by hand. In your comment below, I think that you have "output" much "impudance". "Reg Edwards" wrote in message ... The phrase "output impedance" in connection with amplifiers is ambiguous and likely to result in arguments. The correct description is "internal impedance" or "internal resistance" and should always be used. |

Maybe I inferred wrong. From your "load line equals impedance" statement above, I inferred that you were implying that the load line *is* the source impedance. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

No, just trying to make the point that it does, in fact, _have_ an impedance. (even if it's running class E.) What that exact impedance is, of course, is left as an exercise for the reader. :-) And another thing - in a transmitter, the impedance matching only happens at the one frequency, which is a lot different scenario from, say, a stereo. This could be a confusion factor here. Thanks, Rich |

"The problem is that people say "output impedance" when they mean "load impedance". Quite right. I`ll use "source" and "load". Current through a load depends on the voltage. Ratio of volts to amps is the impedance. A source with the same resistance and offsetting reactance to the load enjoys a Goldilocks relationship with its load. The source`s volts and amps perfectly match the demands of the load. It`s just right. There`s no surplus of either volts or amps when source and load are connected. Its a match. Only a matched source and load deliver all the power available in a source. If we have too much resistance in our load, it doesn`t take as much power as it could. If we have too little resistance in our load, too much power is lost in our source. The perfect match of equal source and load resistances, with the reactance neutralized, is the only condition permitting maximum power transfer. Somme amateurs want all the power they can get from their transmitters. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |

Better yet, we can then calculate the reflected power dissipated by the IC-756PRO. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Therefore, the key to converting the non-linear source to an equivalent linear source lies in a Fourier analysis? Do the other-than-fundamental terms in the Fourier analysis encounter a low impedance or a high impedance? -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
