Re: Another 3GHz 53132-68003 Chanel 3 option design for the 53131A and 53132A
Why two sets of diodes before the prescaler?
I would think that two diodes after the resistor should be enough.
The pair after the amplifier have no limiting.
Also agree with the comment about

Hi,
One problem to solve, the next one will be a little more complicated, namely the timing board.
For my part, I also ordered an RF relay which I received last week, and it works perfectly.

The MB510 should give more predictable results, having much more uniform frequency response than the UPB1506.
If tweaking bias and input frequency response tricks just don't cut it even with the

Would it be a better layout if U1 and U2 were rotated to straighten out the traces?? No idea, but it's something that occurs just by looking at it.

Is it reasonable to expect the two chips to behave similarly if different?
Could it be that adding the resistors somehow adds enough capacitance to mess up the
