BURLE 8986
8986 is designed specifically for use in high-gain, high-efficiency FM service. The terminals are coaxial for operation in the TEM mode and the radiator location avoids restriction of the resonant cavity circuits in VHF operation. Its sturdy, coaxial construction and thoriated-tungsten mesh filament minimize tube inductances and feed-thru capacitances.8986 Power Tube Beam Power Tube - FM Broadcast Service 15 kW Output 20 dB Gain 80% Efficiency - High Efficiency-Low Pressure Radiator The BURLE Rated for full input to 150 MHz, the tube is easily circuited to this frequency. They make possible the use of simple, economical, broadband circuit techniques in VHF operation. This data sheet gives application information unique to the BURLE 8986. It is to be used in conjunction with the publication, “Application Guide for BURLE Power Tubes”, TP-105, for general application information for tubes of this type. Additional information of a general nature applicable to tubes of this type is given in the following publications: TP-105 Application Guide for BURLE Power Tubes TP-122 Screen-Grid Current, Loading and Bleeder Considerations TP-117 Handling and Operating Considerations When Using BURLE Tetrodes TP-118 Application Guide for Forced Air Cooling BURLE Power Tubes Close attention to the instructions contained in these publications will assure longer tube life, safer operation, less equipment downtime and fewer tube handling accidents.
