ABSTRACT:
An adaptive power amplifier system for use with VSWR loads includes an adaptive power supply that indirectly monitors the power dissipated by a RF power amplifier and adapts bias conditions of solid state components in the RF power amplifier to protect the components from excessive power dissipation typically experienced with VSWR loads, even while maintaining full forward power output.
