  2. Vintage amateur radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vintage_amateur_radio

    The proliferation of integrated circuits in modern amateur radio equipment has made amateurs nostalgic for vacuum tube-based designs. Radios that contain solid state parts do not require frequent tinkering, whereas vacuum tube radio equipment is less predictable, lending routine radio contacts more excitement, and giving vintage amateur radio ...

  3. Valve RF amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_RF_amplifier

    A valve RF amplifier (UK and Aus.) or tube amplifier is a device for electrically amplifying the power of an electrical radio frequency signal. Low to medium power valve amplifiers for frequencies below the microwaves were largely replaced by solid state amplifiers during the 1960s and 1970s, initially for receivers and low power stages of ...

  4. RF power amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_power_amplifier

    A radio-frequency power amplifier (RF power amplifier) is a type of electronic amplifier that converts a low-power radio-frequency (RF) signal into a higher-power signal. [1] Typically, RF power amplifiers are used in the final stage of a radio transmitter , their output driving the antenna .

  5. Radio transmitter design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_transmitter_design

    A tube transmitter will contain a tuned output network, most commonly a PI network, that steps the load impedance which the tube requires down to 50 ohms. In each case the power producing devices will not transfer power efficiently if the network is detuned or badly designed or if the antenna presents other than 50 ohms at the transmitter output.

  6. Tube sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_sound

    Tube sound (or valve sound) is the characteristic sound associated with a vacuum tube amplifier (valve amplifier in British English), a vacuum tube-based audio amplifier. [1] At first, the concept of tube sound did not exist, because practically all electronic amplification of audio signals was done with vacuum tubes and other comparable ...

  7. Yaesu FT-101 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaesu_FT-101

    FT-101 is a set that combines a solid state transmitter, receiver and a tube final amplifier. Its solid state features offer high-performance, low-current characteristics and its tube amplifier provides an almost mismatch-resistant transmitter and tuner stage.

  8. Linear amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_amplifier

    Large vacuum-tube linear amplifiers generally rely on one or more vacuum tubes supplied by a very high voltage power supply to convert large amounts of electrical energy into radio frequency energy. Linear amplifiers need to operate with class-A or class-AB biasing, which makes them relatively inefficient. While class C has far higher ...

  9. 807 (vacuum tube) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/807_(vacuum_tube)

    The 807 is fully rated to 60 MHz, derated to 55% at 125 MHz in Class C, Plate-modulated operation, thus they were popular with amateur radio operators (radio hams). In this application a single 807 could be run in class-C as an oscillator or amplifier which could be keyed on and off to transmit Morse Code in CW mode.
