Sir, tasks that moderators can't do. All political differences aside. Please do not put such thoughts in writing. In Austria and Swabia, people believe that what is written down might become true. It

Re: Wanted - moderator in a different timezone
I believe that when the group was set up that the default may have been to not allow members to add to that. I changed that a couple of days ago, so any member can add files. So just go to the forum,

Re: Making a Q-meter / References etc
I've investigated several Q measuring methods. Appended to: https://www.kn5l.net/Inductor-Plots/VNWA-Measure/ is using Voltage Ratio. DG1032 used as generator and Oscilloscope used as a RMS voltmeter.

Wanted - moderator in a different timezone
A moderator or owner needs to approve the first few posts of others. I am looking for someone else to share the moderation with - ideally someone in the USA or Canada, as your time timezone will match

Re: Possible designs for a Ultra low noise 1 Hz to 100kHz amplifier for Phase Noise Analyzer?
And speaking of the late Marshall Leach, his low noise paper in the Proc. of the IEEE is filled with detailed analysis. And it's available here:

Re: Possible designs for a Ultra low noise 1 Hz to 100kHz amplifier for Phase Noise Analyzer?
Prof. Lee has it right¡ Here¡¯s yet another low-noise preamp design from my website, with a very low input impedance that is roughly noise-matched to a similar low-impedance source. I was trying to

Re: Optimal full scale deflection on analog meters: What would HP DO??
Good Day, interesting thought on the 50% FSD, David - thanks. R&S has a long history of scales that go a tad over the ?usual¡® FS display. See for example their?more popular type UVM microvolt

Re: Optimal full scale deflection on analog meters: What would HP DO??
AVO¡¯s 1, 2.5, 10 ranges look less cluttered to me (but then I am used to my AVO 8 Mk2 that I bought in 1965). The 1, 3, 10 sequence gives a visual ¡°beat¡± between the tick marks on the two

Re: Optimal full scale deflection on analog meters: What would HP DO??
Although the scales are marked 3.0 and 10 on the R&S instrument, I note that the full-scale on the 3 V range is 3.2 V. It looks to me as if the 10 aligns with sqrt(10)=3.16. I think if you assume your

Re: Possible designs for a Ultra low noise 1 Hz to 100kHz amplifier for Phase Noise Analyzer?
I'm sorry to disagree with F1EKU's answer, but it is only partially correct and therefore misleading in general. As I posted earlier, what you are implementing this way is effectively a noise

Re: Possible designs for a Ultra low noise 1 Hz to 100kHz amplifier for Phase Noise Analyzer?
This is not true. The S/N and hence noise figure may decrease with addition of more parallel transistors, but it doesn't improve by 3dB for every doubling of the number. Paralleling transistors only
