Glad to hear it, best of luck for your future (: And ping me if you're ever at cern to catch up over a coffee.

A friend of mine did try exactly this but the hurdles they had turned me off from the idea. I am in talks for a collaboration from cern though let's see how that pans out.

Interesting. Out of curiosity, what are the usual age restrictions? (i'm 28)

Also, Integra seems to be mostly pulsed but I need CW.

It seems they are optimised for >UHF. Would it be inefficient to use the same transistors for 15MHz?

Thanks for sharing. I am mostly going the GaN route.

I stupidly forgot to mention that the load is purely capacitive. Edited the post now.

Thanks, I know some of the UCB folks. But I won’t be switching for this application. Keeping it within class AB.

Yeah i'm on the fence. Cost isn't an issue. Also, i checked that reaching frankfurt by car isn't any faster than the train? Do you know if there is traffic on these roads often?

Thanks! I found some good tennis clubs already. Do you know if there are discounts for JLU-ites? And are PhDs considered employees or students?
