🔍 Key Concepts

• Shunt-fed plate circuit operation in a vacuum tube RF amplifier • What an RF choke (plate RFC) does for RF vs. DC in the plate circuit • Effects of an RF choke short circuit on DC path, RF path, and the tank circuit

💭 Think About

• Think about what the RF choke normally blocks and what it normally passes. If it becomes a short, how does that change the paths for RF and DC? • Consider what the plate tank circuit is connected to. If the choke is shorted, what does the tank "see" at the supply side? • How would plate current and RF output be affected if RF energy is no longer isolated from the power supply by the choke?

✅ Before You Answer

• Trace the DC plate current path with a good choke vs. a shorted choke • Trace the RF path from the tube plate through the tank and see what happens when the supply side becomes a low‑impedance point • Ask: if the choke is shorted, is there any condition under which RF output could still be normal, or are multiple things likely to go wrong at once?
