I think that you'll find that the usual solid state AM transmitter is a huge D-to-A converter consisting of lots of MOSFETS. The 50-kW Harris DX-50 uses that technique and is just about the "standard" 50-kW rig. It is used by many stations. The transistors are in modules that can be hot-swapped while the rig is on the air. Distortion is within limits even with a few of the modules missing. MOSFETs are also used as the output amplifiers in high power FM broadcast 100-MHz transmitters - certainly up to the 10-kW level. |
