RF-5833H SeRieS - Harris RF Communications

150 watt hf/vhf
power amplifiers
RF-5833H Series
features
>> A fully solid-state design,
modular construction, and
a conservatively rated
components combine to
provide a high level of
reliablity in a “Jerk-and-Run”
package
The Harris 150 watt power amplifiers increase the output of their respective receivertransmitters to 150 watts PEP/Average in the HF portion of the frequency range (1.6 to
29.99999 MHz) and 60 watts PEP/Average for the VHF portion (30 to 59.99999 MHz).
The RF-5833H is used with the RF-7800H-MP, RF-5800H-MP and AN/PRC-150(C)
radios. The RF-7800H-MP requires use of the RF-7800H-AD150 Adapter (ordered
separately) to facilitate mounting in the RF-5833H-PAs.
The RF-5833H Series Power Amplifiers operate in applications that require mediumpower, medium-range communications. These include mobile, boat, or base station
installations for general-purpose HF-SSB and VHF-FM voice and data communications.
Continuous coverage is provided over the 1.6 to 60 MHz range. Independent outputs
are available for separate HF and VHF antenna configurations.
The power amplifier amplification section is a broadband design requiring no tuning or
adjustment. When used with the RF-5382H and the RF-382A Series Antenna Couplers,
the output of the power amplifier is automatically matched to the specified antenna
and requires no special operator procedures.
Built-in self-test features permit operators or maintenance personnel to check the
R/T and associated power amplifier performance down to the module level. Fault
conditions are indicated on the radio’s front-panel display.
Power output is adjustable via the transceiver front panel or remote control.
The RF-5833H-PA002 and PA004 includes an embedded RF-5245 Pre/Postselector for
collocated environments.
The robust design and construction of these power amplifiers guarantee continuous
high performance and reliability in the most severe environments.
