Hi folks Andy's useful link to the very nice Smith cart has prompted a question. Probably a stupid question. Using my very limited skills in RF design, I am trying to design a 2.7GHz amplifier for a

Hi all , Hello mon ami François , and the other guys here. I have been told , 2 days ago , by a cleaver guy , that it is possible to buy directly with credit card from Minicircuit UK , ask for

Hello Sorry I don't have the answer to yourquestion. but I have quite the same need : built a 1Ghzpassband on a piece of FR4 ! Like you, there is no problem to get printedcircuit, my question is : Is

There will be a large markup if it is. How about building a diplexer? Is it possible at 3.5 GHz? Also somemodamps tend to lose gain rapidly above 3 GHz so you might be able to takeadvantage of

Hello Daniel The Spanish distributor for MiniCircuits is Ibercom <http://www.ibercom.net/>. I don't know if that's useful... Vy 73 Chris GW4DGU

Hello Grant, unfortunately purchasing components from minicircuits is very costly from Germany as there is no distribution for small quantities. I would have to order from the States and the cost of

Richard Assuming the coupler is SMA, you can get an idea byputting the best load you have ( I think 1 had about 27dB retloss) If the value you observe is near the known loadreturn loss (written on it

I have just received some microwave attenuators - good old ebay. The values are 6/6/11/13/15dB. In use I wonder if there is any advantage in using them in a particular order? For example in a

Nice poem Richard ! All this hill topping takes me back to the early 10GHz narrowband days in the late 70s .The thought of all those Alpine people on speed does seem a tad alarming ? You can get

Daniel The LFCN-3400 from Mini-Circuits should do the job. Loses in 0.8mm FR4 at 3.5GHz might not be as bad as you think, especially if the track lengths are kept as short as possible. I've used

Hi all, I am building a tracking generator for my Advantest R4131 spectrum analyzer and need a low-paas filter with a cut-off frequency of around 3.5GHz. The filter should be reasonably steep. I do

Dear All After back-calculating I have moved my 10G activity time on Snowdon to 10:45 on Sunday. It was not looking practical to get there by 0930. The WX is currently forecast is for light showers.

I have been following the thread with interest and make the following observations. The good conditions at the weekend/ Monday were as a result of the formation of a duct under high pressure

Thanks Mike, much appreciated. I will endeavor to leave my 4x 44el's beaming IO73 and the rig on 1297.500 FM in the hope of a contact at the weekend. 73 Ray GM4CXM IO75TW 150w available but will be

Hello, Next saturday afternoon I hope to do some testing on 3 cm with my new setup. The locator will probably be JO20ss or as an alternative JO20mw. I'll be using 3W and 70 cm prime focus dish. I

Nice one Andy, It prints very cleanly from thePDF. 73, Mike

Geneticists like fruit flies. Their short lifespan allows genetic variation to be studied in relative short time periods. In much the same way, my microwave system has developed rapidly having

Seconded! Regards, Mike, G3PFR

Thanks, Richard - yes, very interesting, as it changes the face oflightweight microwave operation in a way which was not previously possible. Keepup the good work - you have certainly stirred up some
