Ruggedness in class-B operation
The BLU86 is capable of withstanding a full load mismatch
corresponding to VSWR = 50:1 through all phases at rated
output power, up to a supply voltage of 15.5 V,
f = 900 MHz and Ts ≤ 60 °C, where Ts is the temperature
at the soldering point of the collector tab.

The circuit and components are situated on one side of a copper-clad PTFE fibre-glass board; the other side is
unetched and serves as a ground plane. Earth connections from the component side to the ground plane are
made by means of fixing screws, hollow rivets and copper foil straps, as shown.
