Re: #output #power #qmx QMX High Bands - Tweak Output RF Power #output #power #qmx


 

John I think you are correct.
I believe I would need a spectrum analyzer to correctly and safely measure the final output harmonics. Might invest in a TinySA.?

Marek,

When QMX is unpowered, the PIN diodes are all in a high resistance state. No particular LPF is selected. What would the VNA measure?

When QMX is powered on, an LPF can be selected, but the VNA is at risk of damage from an inadvertent transmission.

Am I?missing something here?

@ Donald yes you are right, I used wrong description.

As for nanoVNA, you do not put power through it. S11 (source) goes into Input side of nanaVNA and S21 into output (ANT?) end. You should see classic curve for LPF filter. QMX is not connected to the power at that stage.
