Re: 2N5109 amp directly biased with ZD
When regulating Vcc with a zener we automatically insert a simple cap-input Pi network in the Vcc line. I'd check with a scope to determine the before and after noise reduction and to establish the

Re: 2N5109 amp directly biased with ZD
Zeners are also good noise generators. It could work well, but must be
well filtered.

2N5109 amp directly biased with ZD
Hi All,
I saw an interesting article.
an amplifier using a 2N5109 at the bottom of this page.
https://www.microchem.fr/ayet/atlas/hf_amplifier.html
It has a 3.3V zener diode and a 3.3k resistor to

Re: "L Impedance Match" to 50 Ohm Coax
Agreed, and you need 3dB more noise with an actual antenna connected at any specific frequency, in order to ensure that your antenna is constrained by your local noise floor, so a 6dB rise in noise

Re: "L Impedance Match" to 50 Ohm Coax
Just a quick gauge on thermal noise vs. antenna noise:
Define (ONLY for the purpose of simplicity) "antenna noise" as the increase
in receiver noise experienced by connecting your combination antenna

Re: Wellgood amp enclosure
If anyone is interested, I have several retrofit amps for the Wellbrook ALA1530 loop. They are in a PVC case, and potted. They are a match and fit perfectly on the ALA1530.?

Re: "L Impedance Match" to 50 Ohm Coax
For a broadband transformer the “rule of thumb” is that the reactance of the low impedance winding should be 4x the impedance ?at the lowest frequency of operation. So for a 50 to 450 ohm
