UHF-TV Preamplifier circuit

UHF-TV Preamplifier circuit diagram


This is a low cost, antenna-mounted, this UHF TV pre-amplifier circuit can add more than 25db of gain. The first stage of the pre-amplifier is biased from optimum gain. L1, L2 strip line equivalent with Lambda/8 of PC board. The circuit uses BFQ85 as active commponent to amplify the UHF signal, the BFR90 can be used as component replacement for BFQ85.

About RF Amplifier
An RF power amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier which is utilised to convert a low-power radio-frequency signal into a larger signal of significant power, usually for driving the antenna of a transmitter. It is usually optimized to have high efficiency, high output Power (P1dB) compression, good gain, good return loss on the input and output, and optimum heat dissipation.

The basic applications of the RF power amplifier include driving to another high power source, driving a transmitting antenna, microwave heating, and exciting resonant cavity structures. Among these applications, driving transmitter antennas is most well known.
More explanation about power audio amplifier can be found at wikipedia.org
This is a demonstration about 01A RF Amplifier which is build used old tube component to amplify the signal.
