RD15HVF1 Amplifier Board

This repo consists of a board that uses the RD15HVF1 amplifier at satcom frequency range (280-320Mhz).

- Do not put more than 6W of input RF power. The max power output of this PA is around 20W. Check the datasheet. - You will need a tx/rx swith if you want to recieve when using this amplifier and also a lowpass filter to avoid it's harmonics! - The recomended vias voltage is 2.7v. Before soldering the amplifier adjust the potentiometer!
