Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
With my newly wound transformers, 1 to 8 ratio, I now get the following results (see images) when they are placed back to back. As shown in the S21 plot I am getting a loss of 3 to 6dB The matching on

Herb, I've been waiting for the V2 since I read the outlined specification in fall. My main interests are in 20m, 2m, 70cm bands and I'd like to be able to probe 1.575GHz as well, hence my wait for a

I noted the 73 material good LF material but not so good at over 10 mhz. When going for odd ratios adding turns sometimes works better. Or if minor loss is tolerable use a lower ratio and load down to

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
The reason I removed a bit of a turn (and then called it half a turn) was this seemed to make a better match. Though in reply #11793 I accidentally called it 'one turn' when I meant 'half a turn',

It is my understanding that after you do a Clearconfig 1234 you must turn off the power and after turning the power on do a touch calibration and then a calibration with a save to Channel 0. Maybe Heb

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
First 1 turn is always though both hole there is no .5 turn. Also if the inductance of the winding is not high enough you get a low frequency cutoff. Changing the ferrite to higher mu (43 to 73) will

Kerr, I don't how you are winding or measuring these transformers but something is definitely not right. The coefficient of coupling K is very close to 1 with binocular cores and the core losses are

Re: Analysing Input Impedance Matching Circuit for the NE602
So, the good match is likely mostly due to loss. Of course, since you have two transformers in the measurement, the loss through one is half the S21 values. Still, most of the good match is due to
