GoPac Theory of Operation 2. THEORY OF OPERATION The GoPac Power amplifier has been designed to receive the output from a low power transmitter and amplify it. The following discussion assumes that the external transmitter has output power less than 250mW and has been verified to abide by all FCC rules and regulations. The RF output from the low power transmitter is applied to the RF Input Connector (J1) as shown in Figure 1. The signal is passed through a power coupler (C1).
