Abstract

The 1.5 kW RF driver was designed and manufactured with the resonance of frequency of 83.2 MHz. 3CX1500A7 / 8877 triode vacuum tube was used for RF power amplification, and grounded-grid amplifier (G.G. Amp.) type was adopted for this RF driver since the circuit design and manufacturing process is simple [1]. Anode, and cathode voltage of RF driver is approximately 3500 V, and 5 V respectively. In this paper, impedance matching process of RF driver is described. Variable capacitor and variable inductor is utilized to implement the impedance matching for cathode and anode. In addition, RF power output characteristics compare with RF input is shown.
