shown in Figure 10-7. There must be a 1U minimum space between these chassis for convection
cooling. This additional 3U chassis will contain a total of five modules as follows: a Power Amplifier,
a Power Amplifier Power Supply, a Mother Board, a Tx Filter and an External Amp Connector Board,
as shown in Figure 10-19.

As it’s name implies, the Power Amplifier, Power Supply supplies power to the RFL 9508 Power
Amplifier. There are two different types of Power Amplifier, Power Supplies available as shown
below.
The 9508 Power Amplifier, Power Supply is a dual output, dc to dc converter. It is a switching power
supply using pulse width modulation. The 107254-4 operates from 38 Vdc to 150 Vdc, and the
107254-5 operates from 200 Vdc to 300 Vdc. Each supply has two outputs, +30 Vdc @ 0.25 Amps and
+92 Vdc @ 2.4 Amps. Both outputs are connected to a common ground. A block diagram of the Power
Supply is shown in below
