APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR CLASS-AB OPERATION
Th = 25 °C; Rth mb-h = 0.15 K/W, unless otherwise specified.
RF performance in a linear amplifier in a common source class-AB circuit.
RGS = 536 Ω per section; optimum load impedance per section = 0.79 − j0.11 Ω.

Ruggedness in class-AB operation
The BLF248 is capable of withstanding a load mismatch
corresponding to VSWR = 50 through all phases under the
following conditions:
VDS = 28 V; f = 225 MHz at rated output power.
