Notes
1. Three-tone test method (vision carrier −8 dB, sound carrier −10 dB, sideband signal −16 dB), 0 dB corresponds to
peak sync level.
2. Three-tone test method (vision carrier −8 dB, sound carrier −7 dB, sideband signal −16 dB), 0 dB corresponds to
peak sync level.
Ruggedness in class-A operation
The BLW898 is capable of withstanding a load mismatch corresponding to VSWR = 50 : 1 through all phases, under the
conditions: VCE = 25 V; ICQ = 1.1 A; Th = 25 °C; f = 860 MHz; Po sync = 3 W.
