Conclusions • Transistor technology is in continuous development in contrast with vacuum tube technology. • Larger and larger single transistor ouput power is becoming available. • Expected continuos decrease in Price/Watt and Size/Watt. • Increase in power supply voltage will increase maximum available output power. • LDMOS seems to be the dominant technology. • As the available ouput power increases the requirements for other components as circulators, loads • and capacitors will become more and more critic. • Power supply components are improving and getting smaller with better eficiency.
