Input impedance of the Tayloe Mixer on the QDX-M for 630M?


 

Just going to mess with the RX filtering on the QDX-M for 630M.
?
Does anyone know the measured input impedance there?? It has lots of variables if you calculate and I don't want to re-invent the wheel.
?
I have an assortment of MCL RF Transformers and will probably use something like the 8:1 ADT8-1T+ or lesser step-up.
?
Thanks,? N0UU

The input impedance of the Tayloe circuit varies widely with frequency. For signals at the clock frequency it goes very high, infinite in the ideal.
?
As the input signal deviates from the clock frequency the QSD input impedance falls rapidly, ultimately reaching a low value limited by the MUX channel resistance. It follows the bandwidth curve that the QSD develops?
?
This behavior is not intuitively obvious. Far from it! It was confirmed in my simulations and also via Steve Dick's correspondence with Dan Tayloe himself.
?
IMO a resistive pad could be used to limit the impedance excursions and make the performance of a preceding filter more predictable.

Good question, OM ..JZ KJ4A?
