In contrast, the power delivered by solid-state amplifiers remains constant throughout their lifetime. The availability of the accelerator for scientific experiments can also be maximized by building ...

Amplifiers are peak power limited. ATSC 1.0 has a peak to average power ratio between 6-7dB. So a 25kW transmitter (measured in average power) has to accommodate peaks that are in excess of 100kW!

The FB5000 is a new solid-state FM amplifier with up to 5 kW of power. The whole unit is designed to fit into 4 RU. The company touts it for its high-efficiency Mosfet design, automatic gain control ...
