Hello.
I have an Arbitrary wave generator which produces different signals. At the moment I have it set to produce up to 1V p-p pulse signals (50ns wide and 5khz frequency) and I need to amplify this to pulse transducers at 100V p-p.
My problem is coming up with a power amp design that can faithfully amplify the input.
Does anyone have any suggestions ? I may also need the gain to be adjustable and for use with 1Mhz-35mhz signals
I was thinking maybe a class A amplifier using transistors or mosfets (not sure which type Would be best so advice here would be appreciated) or to go for a class AB circuit like the one attached. My only concern with these circuits is that I may not be able to get the 100Vdc p-p output? Because everywhere I have looked these circuits have been used to amplify millivolts up to maybe 10Vdc and at low frequencies.
I have also seen some circuits with different stages which combine both the circuits attached. A class A stage then Class AB stage. Or some with a comparator/op amp at the first stage then class AB. And some with a with a transformer but I am not sure which type would be suitable for my application. Please any help will be appreciated greatly.
