10dB VHF/UHF/FM Signal Amplifier

This is one of RF amplifier application which will boost the signal received by antenna. The circuit will boost UHF, VHF and FM signal. Nice choice for radio receiver and television.

10dB VHF/UHF/FM Signal Amplifier

10dB VHF/UHF/FM Signal Amplifier Features:
  • Increases VHF/UHF/FM signals by 10dB
  • Compensates for signal loss/weak signal that occurs during long cable runs or multiple TV/VCR connections
  • For use with both RG6 and RG59 coaxial cables

10dB VHF/UHF/FM Signal Amplifier Review:
We recently cut our ties with DirecTV and just went with more than the air digital signal. The RCA outside antenna worked great, but sometimes the picture pixelated. Getting study critiques and experiences of other people, I bought this signal amplifier and was blown away by the difference this little device made. We had extremely good HD quality, but this created it even better AND we found 4 much more stations that we weren't obtaining prior to utilizing this.

Better picture, no pixelation and much more channels! Great Deal!

500W High Frequency Amplifier

The following diagram is the circuit diagram of a 500 watt linear amplifier, based upon a design by Frits Geerligs, PA0FRI.

500W High Frequency Amplifier diagram


The circuit uses four PL519 Television line output valves inside a very simple circuit that will deliver above 450 watts at 3.5 MHz (350 watts at 30 MHz). PL519 (40KG6A) is a far more robust substitute for the earlier PL509 (40KG6) tube. Each valves will do the job properly in this circuit. The input drive power is about 50 - 100 watts so it really is working with most amateur radio HF transmitters. Not shown in the circuit will be the cooling fan that is needed to force air across the valves to cool them. In operation the 1K0 pot is adjusted to set the complete valve anode electric current to close to 50mA to 70 mA.

2W RF Amplifier

The following diagram is the schematic diagram of the microstrip single stage RF amplifier.

electronic circuit diagram


The RF amplifier is designed based on the M/A-Com LF2810A MOSFET. The transistor is basically a 10 watt, 28 volt part, but supplies sufficient gain for this application at 12 VDC. The amplifier delivers higher than 40% of efficiency in the desired output capability. Trimmer capacitors are applied for input and output matching. Output power is altered by a trimmer potensiometer (trimpot) which sets the gate bias voltage.
