Re: Active antenna design
Thanks Steve, I didn't have the article open at the time and had forgotten about the pot that Dallas had. It amounts to sort of the same thing - varying the DC bias on the gate - but keeps the

Re: Active antenna design
Something here just isn't right. Regardless of whether you are applying a bias voltage to the JFET gate or changing the resistors, the JFET drain current remains virtually unchanged. The values were

Re: Active antenna design
Hi Chris, The following are the IMD performance results I got using your 5 new fixed resistor bias values. To be able to measure the bipolar current, I put a 1 ohm resistor between emitter and supply

One additional comment on how Intercept Points are indicated (and measured). I measured and referenced the Intercept Points in the two circuits to the output of the device--thus "OIP3" means "Third

Re: Active antenna design
Hi Rob, I adjusted the bias voltage to the jfet, with the corresponding change in the circuit total current. A two-tone IMD test set was used, looking at the 2IMD level, and the bias was adjusted for

Re: Active antenna design
I have just finished building and testing both the Lankford circuit and the Trask circuit on the bench, for gain/frequency response and IMD performance. The results are given below. Note that Trask's

Re: Active antenna design
As you increase the gain, there will be less feedback, however the IP2/IP3 will degrade as less power is sent to the J309 source to correct for distortion. There's sufficient open loop gain such that

Re: Active antenna design
Hi Chris, That's what I thought and makes more sense. I assume that the higher the gain, the less feedback and less IP2/IP3? Rob J309

Re: Active antenna design
Chris, Can you clarify this statement? It appears that this would be the same as connecting a resistor from Vcc to the J309 source? Rob Doing this will require a higher supply voltage so as to provide
