Re: Looking for a good cheap antenna analyser
I second that recommendation, old style antenna analysers seem to be very expensive for what they are, and will only provide you with limited data. I have a LiteVNA 64, which was an upgrade from an

Re: MLA-30+, the story continues! #Small_receiving_loops_RX-only
Absolutely, it's no good unless you can notch out the fundamental tones. My own notches provide about 40dB rejection, which is just about good enough. Regards, Martin

Re: Looking for a good cheap antenna analyser
Why not a NanoVNA of the newer generations? regards Fred

Re: MLA-30+, the story continues! #Small_receiving_loops_RX-only
Definitely, but without? notch filters for the original 2-tone signals the tiny-SA will become overloaded. It's own IP3 is about +17 dBm. regards Fred

Looking for a good cheap antenna analyser
Hi all not really a loopy question, but after a good cheap antenna analyser for future projects over winter. Have a mfj 259b but after something alittle better.. best regards Simon g0zen

Re: MLA-30+, the story continues! #Small_receiving_loops_RX-only
Incidentally, I've just been comparing IMD measurements using a Rigol DSA815 and a TinySA Ultra. I've been using my own test source and notch filters, and providing the notched test tones are kept to

Re: Stainless-Steel Loop with Wellgood 4.1 Amplifier
Nice loop, but could you state the loop inductance ? Regards, Martin

Re: Stainless-Steel Loop with Wellgood 4.1 Amplifier
Are you selling this as a kit or fully made? Or do you have the plans available?

Very nice loop. 73, Steve

Stainless-Steel Loop with Wellgood 4.1 Amplifier
I would like to introduce you to my latest loop. Ideally, a loop should be round, but because the production costs for a round loop with a diameter of 1m are very expensive, I decided to make the loop

Re: NF of devices used in LZ1AQ Preamp
The noise figure of a transistor from the data sheet refers to a specific test circuit under well defined test conditions. The noise figure of a transistor in a particular amplifier circuit depends on
Interesting article on designing with JFETs
I was looking for something else and stumbled across an article on designing with new FETS. https://www.interfet.com/jfet-datasheets/audio-electronics-jfet-new-frontier1-2.pdf I know from

Re: Steve ugly-build LZ1AQ using MPS2222 sweeps uploaded to Photos
Hi Dan, I downloaded your simulation of a one meter diameter loop and was able to run it without problems.? Nicely done!? Your 36 segment structure much more closely models a circular loop than my

Re: NF of devices used in LZ1AQ Preamp
I would expect that the noise figure of a transistor would be the same no matter what amplifier you plop it into - but with the provision that it depends on its biasing conditions (e.g., current).?

Re: NF of devices used in LZ1AQ Preamp
Discrete RF-Transistors ar becoming more and more extinct. For example BFQ590 BFP196 NTE278 (2N5109 replacement) PZT2222A PXT2222A are currently actively produced and widely available.. The

Re: NF of devices used in LZ1AQ Preamp
Thanks Everett and Simon, and to Steve I have found his comprehensive list, I should have searched better. However, are these low measured NFs just for the very low input Z loop preamps like the LZ1AQ

Re: Simple 50 ohm preamp with +30 dBm OIP3
Yes, I swept each of the seven transistors I tried. This is typical, and the gain for the last one, 2N4401, unmarked brand: 0.2 MHz +16.1 dB gain 0.5 MHz +16.3 dB gain 1 MHz +16.3 dB gain 5 MHz

Re: Simple 50 ohm preamp with +30 dBm OIP3
Steve, did you measure the frequency response? The properties of the output transformer and the RFC in the base biasing circuit will of course have influence on the frequency response but I am just

Re: Simple 50 ohm preamp with +30 dBm OIP3
This circuit does not make a good preamp--it overloads too easily. As the info in the Files states, it's for making a test IMD preamp that can be duplicated with a characterized OIP3. Recent posts
