Re: Testing transistors for noise in the LZ1AQ loop amp circuit and Norton circuit
QUOTE (first paragraph): " And it turns out, at least using this particular circuit, the input transistor completely sets the noise level; the output transistor just amplifies for a higher output."

I agree, it doesn't make any sense to remove them, plus they are an important part of matching the amplifier input impedance to that of the loop, as I mentioned many times before on this group. The

Re: Testing transistors for noise in the LZ1AQ loop amp circuit and Norton circuit
I put one of these together. It's an ugly spud but it works in that I see similar results here. My various 2N2222s and PN2222s are anywhere from 3 to 6 dB noisier than the 2N5109s are. Most of the

Thank you Bernard. But I would caution those with strong local FM stations to think carefully before taking out the FM filter components. My LZ1AQ's definitely needs the FM filter. Without it I get a

Could this be the loop? https://www.l3harris.com/sites/default/files/2020-12/cs-tcom-rf-3134-at003-5-otm-vehicular-loop-antenna-datasheet.pdf The whips are probably for 30-88 MHz Best regards Torbjorn

Re: Testing transistors for noise in the "half LZ1AQ" loop amp circuit and Norton circuit (some LF noise data added)
I've filled in some LF noise for several transistors I didn't test--all tested transistors should now show both LF noise at 218 kHz, and 10 MHz gain and noise figure.

Re: Is a T/R necessary?
James, The loop to Tx antenna separation needs to be approx. 8m.? You may need to remove the? loops power during Txing to protect the Rx port. This is because the amplifier inside the Interface can

Is a T/R necessary?
I will be adding a Wellbrook ALA1530LNP loop to a transceiver's receive-only antenna port. Will I need to add a relay, or T/R, so the loop is not getting 12 volts power when I am transmitting? Also,
