I was thinking about having a go at contriving (I won't say
"designing" for obvious reasons) a class 'C' RF amp using MOSFETs instead of the usual BJTs/toobz. They seem - on the face of it at least - ideally suited to the task. I'm just a bit concerned about whether even the fastest ones would be fast enough, even given adequate gate drive. I'd be surprised if they weren't good for at least a few Mhz., but am quite frankly clueless as to MUF. Anyone know? ================================= MOSFETS can be used for RF applications provided the input and output capacitance is sufficiently low. I recently bought a power module from a surplus store with 48 pcs HUF76143P3 Hi-speed MOSFET in a TO220 package ,all for Euro 4.00 (just under US$5.-) The relevant spec sheet says Input cap.= 3900pf , Output cap.=1600pF ,useful up to 1 MHz. Most MOSFET studded RF power amps circuits I have come across are equipped with IRFxxx range of devices. Frank GM0CSZ / KN6WH |
