Hallo Andre, hier wat info van DL3IAE op het US microwave forum. Mvg Frans PE1FOT
Hello Jean-Paul and the group,
first of all a very HNY!
I had some time over the past few days and did some research on those 14 GHz GaAs-FETs removed from ex-KU band Satcom amps. With some snowflaking I obtained the following results on 10GHz:
TIM1414-2 ~6db gain, >2W out, easy tuning TIM1414-4 ~6db gain, >4W out, easy tuning TIM1414-7 ~5,5db gain, 6W out, needs good snowflaking TIM1414-10 almost no gain, matching impossible
FLM1414-4 ~5,5db gain, >4W out, easy tuning FLM1414-5 almost no gain, matching impossible FLM1414-8 almost no gain, matching impossible
All in all quite disappointing results. The PCB is made of Teflon and similar to the F6BVA designs, 50 Ohms microstrips in and out, bias and drain supply at 90 deg from the FET.
Good luck and cu on 10 GHz
