    This document describes the design of a high power transmitter system for use in wind profilers. It includes specifications for a 16 kW pulsed transmitter operating at 404.37 MHz. The transmitter design uses solid state and vacuum tube amplifier stages along with the associated power supplies, control circuits, and safety interlocks. It also describes the design of a high power balanced duplexer to isolate the transmitter and receiver ports while withstanding high peak power levels. Test results show the transmitter meets specifications for output power, bandwidth, harmonics, and spurious emissions.

    Design Philosophy of Distributed Matching


    Network for Triode Amplifiers

    Reactance provided by the tube capacitance

    Xc = j Zo tan (2/) L

    The length 'L' of the tuned co-axial line is given by:

    L = /2 tan-1 Xc / Zo

    Where = wavelength in cm
    Xc = reactance due to the inter-electrode capacitance
    Zo = characteristic impedance of the line (ohm)

    The 50 ohm matching point to tap-out the output power is given by:
    L2 = /2 Ri/Rg . [Xc/(Xc2 + Zo2)1/2] cm
    Where L2 = distance from the short circuited end to the matching
    point.
    Ri = Output resistance (50 ohm in this case)
    Rg = grid resistance in ohms.
    Co-axial structure with centre conductor having circular cross-section
    and outer conductor of rectangular cross section are commonly
