Iulian Rosu RF Technical Articles "To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk" - Thomas Alva Edison ( ) YO3DAC\Home Page - qsl.net I started by mounting the 4:1 Unun from MFJ on a fiberglass plate, to give it good high voltage characteristics. This Unun is at a very high impedance point on 160 meters, so develops some very high voltages (up to 5000 volts or more, depending on power levels). 43 Vertical Part 5 Matching Network The BJT is quite often used as a Low Noise Amplifier due to its low cost. With a minimal number of external matching networks, the BJT can quite often produce an LNA with RF performance considerably Bias Circuits for RF Devices - qsl.net How to select a tube HF amplifier? (I) Imagine that all your ham shack is invaded with rigs and accessories, that your antenna, beam, vertical or wire is performing, proved by your hundreds QSLs received from far DX stations. How to select an HF tube amplifier - Astrosurf Four ICs pack tremendous power and flexibility into a 4" Hammond 1590-series chassis. Controlled by the PC parallel port, this hybrid DDS/PLL synthesizer delivers full-octave coverage between 1000 and 2000 MHz with sub-1 Hz resolution and commercial-quality phase-noise performance.

Optoisolators provide impedance matching between the control circuit and power circuit C.
