The categories of cw transmitters are as follows: |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Master oscillator power amplifier (mopa) transmitters, |
| |
|
|
Multistage, high-power transmitters,
|
| |
|
|
High- and very-high frequency transmitters |
| |
|
|
All of the above |
| |
|
|
|
| 9. |
The main advantage of a mopa transmitter is that the power-amplifier stage isolates the oscillator from the antenna. This prevents changes in antenna-to-ground capacitance from affecting the oscillator frequency. |
