Tim Anderson (Harris, USA)
 
Continued innovations have led to a new generation of solid-state RF power amplifier technology that provides significantly higher output power, density and greater efficiency resulting in lower purchase and operating costs with improved RF performance and robustness on par with tube based RF power amplifiers. These improvements in cost and efficiency are making solid state transmitters more cost competitive with tube based solutions at higher powers while significantly lowering the total cost of ownership.
 
The speaker will discuss the history of solid-state FM transmitter design, the current architectures and most recent developments in solid state device technology along with the challenges and solutions in high-power RF amplifier design, cooling, combining control and power supply systems for the next generation of solid state, high-power, digital / FM transmitters.
Speaker: Tim Anderson is the Manager for Radio Strategic Business and Product Development at Harris, Ohio, USA.
