Re: Wow... 15 volts in and a bunch out..
The "bias-t" network shown in fig 2 of the datasheet on page 6 of the BGA616 is just an inductor up to the dc supply resistor plus a series cap to the following stage: ?

Re: Wow... 15 volts in and a bunch out..
Max supply voltage on an MMIC is a function of the supply resistor you choose. Only the output pin itself is limited to 4.5v absolute max for supply voltage with respect to ground, and that does not

If they're similar to MARS MMIC, input and output MUST be 50 ohms. 73 Ken VA3ABN wrote:

So I read the BGA616. $1.50 from Digikey https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/infineon-technologies/BGA616H6327XTSA1/BGA616H6327XTSA1CT-ND/2410159? I see you provide a 33 ohm collector load

Re: Wow... 15 volts in and a bunch out..
Oh, I haven't done it. Just kibitzing. It could be another npn gain stage, just that an mmic involves fewer parts, so easier to patch in ugly-style on the bottom ground plane. An example might be U2

Re: boosting the power on 28 MHz

Can the RD16HHF1 be used as a drop in replacement for the 510 or will these mods have to be made? Just looking to get my uBitx back on the air. Seems like a good idea to place these in the finals to

Hi Jerry, can you produce a schematic with parts numbers on exactly how to do that? I¡¯ve never used one of those components before. It should be easy to reduce gain in previous day just by simply

Re: Wow... 15 volts in and a bunch out..
An MMIC between Q90 and RV1 is an easy way to add an extra stage. ?/g/BITX20/message/51211 Of course, you still have to adjust the other stages to distribute the gain properly.

Allison, what about adding an additional stage after the last mixer in the transmitter lineup? Better choice of transistors (replace Q90 and maybe the other 3904¡¯s)... add (insert) a tiny daughter

If you want SWR only I just got a nice cross needle MFJ-822.?? It covers 1.8-200 MHz, 30 or 300 Watts.? On the 30 watt range half scale is about 7 watts. -- Lee - N9LO?"I Void Warranties"
