You claim 516 watts PEP and 55% efficiency. And I'll be super-nice and say that's at 14 volts and you aren't going into saturation. So that means: 516 watts / 14 volts = 36.86 amps 36.86 amps / 55% efficiency = 67 amps 67 amps / 2 transistors = 33.5 amps Ic on each transistor. Amplifier efficiency isn't based on peak power (PEP) you putz... see http://www.rf-amplifiers.com/index.php?topic=dc_input Are you really this stupid?... or are you just putting us on? www.telstar-electronics.com |

I wasn't calculating amplifier efficiency; I calculated peak collector current -based on- your very own amplifier efficiency claim. Would you rather I use the transistor's collector efficiency of 35%? Are you really this stupid?... or are you just putting us on? I have thought of asking the same question of you, but I haven't because you would ignore it just like all the other tough questions. That, and I already know the answer. |

LOL Ok, we'll use the collector efficiency..... 516 watts / 14 volts = 36.86 amps 36.86 amps / 35% efficiency = 105.3 amps 105.3 amps / 2 transistors = 52.65 amps Ic on each transistor. And since 65% is dissipated as heat, 52.65 amps * 65% = 34.22 amps (Scary!) 34.22 amps * 14 volts = 479 watts.... HOLY ****!!! You better have a BIG MF HEAT SINK!!! Are these transistors water-cooled? |
