The invention relates to high-frequency amplifier apparatuses suitable for generating power outputs of at least 1 kW at frequencies of at least 2 MHz. The apparatuses include two LDMOS transistors each connected by their source connection to ground. The transistors can have the same design and can be arranged in an assembly (package). The apparatus also includes a circuit board lying flat against a metallic cooling plate and connected to the cooling plate, which can be connected to ground, and the assembly is arranged on or against the circuit board. The apparatuses have a power transformer, whose primary winding is connected to the drain connections of the transistors, and a signal transmitter. A secondary winding of the signal transmitter is connected to the gate connections of the two transistors. Each of the gate connections is connected to ground via at least one voltage-limiting structural element.
