Note
1. Assuming a 3rd order amplitude transfer characteristic, 1 dB gain compression corresponds with
30% sync input/25% sync output compression in television service (negative modulation, C.C.I.R. system).
Ruggedness in class-AB operation
The BLV59 is capable of withstanding a load mismatch corresponding to VSWR = 10 through all phases at rated load
power under the following conditions: VCE = 25 V; f = 860 MHz; Th = 25 °C; Rth mb-h = 0.4 K/W; IC(ZS) = 60 mA.

The components are situated on one side of the copper-clad PTFE-glass board, the other side is unetched and serves as a ground plane.
Earth connections are made by fixing screws, hollow rivets and copper straps around the board and under the bases to provide a direct contact
between the copper on the component side and the ground plane.
