FLEX-1500 and Mismatched Loads
Content provided by: FlexRadio Systems Engineering
The 5 watt PA in the FLEX-1500 can handle mismatch loads (complex impedance deviations from 50 ohms) without any concern. Since the output transistor is highly de-rated by design, folding back the RF power when the SWR exceeds 2.0:1 is not needed for protecting the FLEX-1500 5 watt PA.
