What can be done to prevent unwanted oscillations in an RF power amplifier?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. Install parasitic suppressors and/or neutralize the stage
Parasitic suppressors damp unwanted VHF oscillations, and neutralization cancels the internal feedback that can make an amplifier oscillate. Tuning for maximum power does not stop oscillation.
Tip: Stop oscillation: suppress parasitics, neutralize.
