1 KW VHF FM POWER AMPLIFIER

1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
KN1000 power amplifiers have been designed to operate in the whole FM

frequency range (87- 108 MHz), they can deliver 1000 W of rated output power when
they are fed with 10÷12 W input power.
This unit is factory calibrated, therefore it requires no adjustment or calibration in
place before starting its operation.
The amplifiers are fully solid state, widely utilized in the industrial field and
easily available at low cost.
On the other hand its solid state structure guarantees high reliability in any
operating conditions;
A low pass output filter guarantees a clean signal spectrum at any selected
operating frequency.
In case of fault of the amplifier or antenna system, a special protections board
lowers automatically the output power, in order to bring back the operating conditions
to a safe area without causing a total system shut down.
This proportional logic adjustment reduces the output power in case of:
-W.S.V.R. rise
-excessive room temperature or cooling stop (overheat)
-excessive drive input signal (dummy load)
-stage failure (unbalance)
The same circuit maintains, in normal operating conditions, a constant output
level, making KN1000 suitable as a driver for power amplifiers.
Its switch-mode power supply is largely oversized and guarantees a regular
operation even in presence of wide mains voltage fluctuations, on the same time, it
improves the whole system efficiency (total power drag less than 2100 VA at maximum
output power).
A front panel meters, on the control unit, combined with LED indicators on the
RF unit, enables the quick checking of the most important conditions of the equipment,
for this purpose, the final stage includes metering directional couplers.

The system cooling is performed by heat sinks and powerful blowers, in order to
guarantee a safe operation even in hard climatic conditions.
The global amplifier consists of two 500W amplifiers stage whose outputs are
combined by means of -3 dB directional couplers.
1.2 MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION
The cabinet includes:

-2 KN 500 RF unit;
-2 power supply modules;
-power control unit
-RF driver (optional)

1.4 GENERAL BLOCK DIAGRAM

1.5 Block diagram description
The general electrical diagram consists of the following blocks:

A) KN 500W Amplifier Stage;
every 500W amplifier is composed of:
1) Switching circuit in series with RF input; this circuit shunts on a dummy load if
the signal comes from the exciter, before this, it reaches a dangerous level
2) 100W preamplifier (DB 8207-05) for driving a power stage
3) 250W amplifier ( 2 modules DB 9106-133)
4) 90° hybrid coupler (2 modules DB 9106-132) the first splits the signal that
comes from the preamplifier in order to drive 250W rated modules, the second
combines the 250W stage outputs obtaining the full output power
5) Directional coupler (PRE500 9106-128) for checking forward and reflected
signal and low pass filter to dump high harmonic components
B) Input power splitter
Supplies the RF input signal (5W rms rated) which is amplified up to about
40÷45W by 100W preamplifier.
C) Output power combiner
combines the 500W amplifier output obtaining the full output power
D) ALC Protection Board
has the task of control the preamplifier supply voltage, so its power is reduced in
case of problems
E) KN 500 Power Supply Stage
there are three switch modules for 250W amplifier power supply and one switch
module for drive stage power supply.
Each block units is described detailly below.

3 KN500 AMPLIFIER UNIT
KN500 UNIT is briefly described in the block diagram description (see 1.5); in
particular the RF signal coming from the power splitter (located in the control unit)
drives a 100 W FM amplifier; in the input of this amplifier there is a switching circuit
that shunts on a dummy load if the sudden RF signal reaches a dangerous level.
This protection is realised using the ALC (Automatic Level Control) board.
The 100 W output signal is splitted by a 90° hybrid coupler and sent to the two
250 W FM amplifiers input.
The final amplified signal, obtained combining 250 W amplifiers output is filtered
by a low pass filter:
Note a control on the 250 W amplifier with a NTC temperature that constitutes
one ALC protection board input.
Moreover there is a directional coupler that checks forward and reflected signal.

4 100W PREAMPLIFIER STAGE
100W FM amplifier has a switching type power supply, controlled by the ALC
(Automatic Level Control) board.
In fact Q1 MRF 317 transistor supply is realised to achieve an eventual power
output reduction, in case of troubles; this reduction is possible thanks to a switching
module with its output voltage controlled by the protection board; moreover, the
amplifier can be interdicted by the direct polarization of D1 and D2; the interdiction
voltage comes always from ALC Board 9106-134.
The amplifier is class “C” polarized, for high efficiency.
The MRF 317 technical data are the following:
- 30÷200 Mhz frequency range
- 24 Vdc voltage supply
- 100W Output power with 9 dB Minimum gain
- 60% efficiency (typical)
The general electrical scheme contains a 90° Hybrid divider (9106-132) for 250
W stages drive signals generation; this hybrid divider is external to the 100 W amplifier
board.
. WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE 90° HYBRID DIVIDER, IT IS
FACTORY REALISED AND CALIBRATED.

6 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITS
Looking at the general block diagram of chap. 1.4 (drawn also on the front panel),
each KN500 unit power supply consists of three switching modules, each delivering
28V 12A in continuous operation, and one switching modules with a variable voltage in
the range 0÷24V; these devices have a permanent current protection .
The first three are connected in parallel to supply final stages, the fourth,
controlled by ALC, supplies the preamplifier stage with a variable voltage in the range
0÷24V, this facility allows to reduce automatically the output power when this is
required.
NOTE: on the next pages two switching modules are described. Functionally they
are equal and you can find either one or the other.
WARNING: WHEN YOU SUBSTITUTE ONE O MORE

6.9 POWER SUPPLY UNIT GENERAL SCHEMATIC

6.10 Power supply unit layout

7 THE ALC PROTECTION BOARD
The ALC protection board has to control the preamplifier supply voltage and its
output power following the priorities listed above:
A) In the starting turning on phase, the ALC protection board introduces a delay
time, factory set calibrated; this delay avoids initial too high level output power supply.
The LED “VSWR” with LED “50Ω“ lights at the beginning, indicating the
proper working of this delay circuit.
B) In normal working conditions the output power is maintained at a constant
level (factory set) even in presence of mains voltage fluctuations; when we approach to
the maximum output power the “PWR” green LED lights. This shows the proper
working of the equipment.
In practice this LED lights 50 W before the maximum output power level.
C) in presence of impedance mismatch on the antenna circuit, the output level is
reduced gradually in order to maintain the power reflected by load at a value lower than
60 W (“VSWR” red LED); in case of sudden mismatch (short circuit or cable break) an
instantaneous shut down of RFD exciter occurs for about 10 seconds, in order to allow a
gradual automatic protection intervention, this guards the power transistor safety.
The power regulation circuit, in fact, has a relative long response time; it cannot
ensures by itself a prompt intervention in case of sudden variations of reflected power.
D) If there is an excessive driven signal, the input switch activates, and this
condition is signalised by 50 Ω LED lighting; during the driver power shut down, there
is no risk of damage for the exciter because, as we described above, it is connected to a
dummy load.
E) If a fault in a 250 W module (included a total power down) occurred, AL
would reduce the output power, in order to limit the dissipation on the termination
resistor in the second hybrid coupler at about 80W, signalling this fault lighting the
“UNBAL” red LED. Although in this condition there isn’t a total service interruption
that allows a safe reduced power transmission, IT IS BETTER TO CONTACT DB
SERVICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

F) The unit is top by a thermal protection circuit, specifically a NTC resistor on
the upper radiator; when the heat sink temperature raises to an excessive value, upper
65°C (149 °F), the NTC, using ALC board, reduces the output power at 100W (factory
set level).
When the heat sink temperature decreases below 65°C automatically the ALC
resets the system to the normal power level.
In any case a reduced output power without transmission break is guaranteed.

8 CONTROL UNIT
This rack contains an automatic switch that controls the whole system power
supply.
For avoiding that turning on the general switch causes a release of the mains
contactors, there are NTC resistors, that allows a soft start in every conditions; this NTC
limits the inrush current flowing trough the filter capacitor during the first moments.
Moreover the rack contains a meter to read forward and reflected power; this
signal is taken from a temperature compensated directional coupler by means of
connection using “FWD” and “REF” plugs, selected by the user.
On the front panel there are ON/OFF indicator and power on push-button.

9 INPUT SPLITTER AND OUTPUT COMBINER

These components are included in the rack of the unit control.

The input power divider has to divide the driver RF signal to supply both the
500W units constituting KN1000.
As seen in the point 8.2 schematic, the power divider is constituted by a line
stretch in λ/4, realized by means of two 75 Ω coaxial cables suitably coupled with two
47 Ω 2W resistors.
In a similar way the output combiner provides the full output power combining
500W stage output signal.
The realization of the output power combiner is shown in point 8.2 and more
detailly in point 8.3; notice the 50 Ω 250W resistor is used like dummy load in presence
of impedance mismatch.
