Low-cost, 800mA RF power amplifier used for tabletop MRI scanners to drive small solenoid coils (~1cm diameter NMR sample tubes). This board uses the Motorola MHW592 RF amplifier module, which is obsolete, but available on eBay. The board runs on 24 Volts and includes a linear regulator and blanking circuit controlled by a gating signal from the spectrometer. The blanking cuts power to the RFPA quickly (for instance to eliminate unwanted RF noise during signal readout).
