20 W HF Power Amplifier
Technical Reference/Amplifiers/HF Amplifiers
A HF power amplifier with a push-pull of AFT09MS015N. The (small-signal) gain of the amplifier is around 26 dB in the lower HF band and goes down to about 24 dB on the higher end and still around 21 dB at 50 MHz. Its input matching is relatively good at the lower HF and degrades above 10 MHz.

Resistor combination finder
Technical Reference/Calculators
If you need a non-standard resistor value you could probably realize a close match using two resistor. If you use two resistor in series it is quite easy to figure out which values give the best match; on the other hand, using a parallel connection it is not so easy (at least for me) to find a good combination. This resistor calculation tool shows which combinations of two resistors (series or parallel) gives a match better than the closest standard value, for the E12 (10%), E24 (5%) and E96 (1%) series.
