FREQUENCY Vs. CAPACITANCE the graph indicate the operating optimal frequency range of a SCHOTTKY diode in relation to the of junction capacitance. The area between in the two curves is the recommended range of max. junction capacities for the desired frequency. For example at 4 GHz the optimum junction capacitance is 1pF. Lower junction capacities (so better diode performances) can be obviously used even if it not lead to significant improvement.

Note: the sensitivity of the DDC 2353 diode, judging from the table, would seem to be much higher than very famous and expensive RF detectors, this is due to the fact that commercial detectors are all equipped with a matching network on the diode that causes a loss of about 3 dB compared to our diode that has been tested without a matching network instead. The result is that the real sensitivity of the diodes is quite similar among the various types.

Beam lead diodes substitution with MA 4E 2502L


A cross between microwave ceramic diodes and millimeter beam leads
To achieve high performances in microwave or millimeter frequencies it is common knowledge that is necessary to use beam lead diodes because their package reduces capacitance and parasitic inductance values. However beam lead diodes are extremely fragile and not easy to handle, so specific techniques and sophisticated equipments are needed. MaCom has developed a cheap glass package with very low parasitic capacitance comparable to those of beam leads, since it is glass made it has a higher strength showing many similarities to beam lead diodes. This package is so robust that (for high volume production) it is provided in reels as normal SMD components, its size is 0502 or 1.1 x 0.46 mm. Manufacturing takes place with direct overlap of silicon on a glass support with a thickness of only 0.15 mm so with vias with very low series inductance. We recommend to use these diodes to those who have to replace beam lead diodes for mixers and low barrier microwave detectors. A typical application is the replacement of faulty diodes in spectrum analyzer mixer example of spectrum analyzers, special detectors, etc..., or for all applications up to millimeter frequencies where it is very difficult to replace beam lead diodes, the low parasitic capacitance, typically 0.1 pF, allows the use this diodes up to 25-50 GHz Low barrier @ 1 mA Vb @ 10A Cj @ 0V Series inductance 0.3 V typ. 0.33 V max 5 V typ. 3 V min 0.1 pF typ. 0.12 pF max max 0.8 nH Forward current RF CW incident power Dissipation power Rs max 20 mA max +20 dBm max 50 mW 12.8

BAT 62-02W and 03W , low cost schottky detector diodes up to microwave frequencies
BAT 62-03W and 02W are Infineon ( Siemens ) Schottky diodes for RF general purpose applications, thanks to their very low junction capacitance they can be used as RF detector from LF to microwave frequencies , typical to 6 GHz , and also to 10 GHz if the signal is quite powerful . The SMD low cost case , SOD323 , has a little residual inductance of 2 nH while the BAT 62-02W has a small SMD case SCD 80 and it is suitable for higher frequencies thanks to its very low residual inductance of only 0.6 nH . BAT62 series are also optimal for circuit protection against voltage spikes as clipping or clamping in telecommunications equipment , data line and , thanks to the very low residual capacitance also in front-end for receivers see application note Infineon N 065 . They are also useful as detector ( both forwarded and reflected power ) , for high power together with a directional coupler or directly to the RF for signal at medium-lower power thanks to the reverse 40V.

PIN DIODES - switches - attenuators - limiters

pag A 14

An ideal pin diode acts as a current controlled variable resistor, the attenuation is independent from power and frequency of use. The performances of a "real" pin diode are limited both by the power level and the frequency, due to a more evident rectification effect at low frequencies. The effect of rectification is simply the normal behavior of a tradictional diode in presence of alternate current (RF), but in pin diodes it is a defect that prevents its use at low frequencies. The choice of a pin diode for low frequencies (short to medium wave <15 MHz) can be very difficult especially when it has to be used on HF receivers front-ends with good dynamic, in fact the diode itself is the cause of unwanted mixing, in this case is wasted the precious and expensive "high dynamic" for the use of a wrong or with poor performances diode, another typical example is in AGC circuits for IF at 70 MHz with TV or digital signals or in intrumentation attenuators and also for AM signals. Pin diodes suitable for low distortion and usable below 15 MHz are specified with very long lifetime ( > 1S) so we can say empirically those for low distortion RF attenuators and switches where the rectification effect at low frequencies are more limited. See Ham Radio back issues, QST 12-94, Ulrich Rohdes various articles and application notes reported on old catalogs of the manufacturers of PIN diodes such as HP, Ma-Com, Alpha, Unitrode to know more about this topic. Below is reported a table in a more practical-empirical than scientific way that helps in choosing the pin diodes.

as above

they have to be used as low distortion attenuators


they are among the most common low cost diodes used for commercial devices for band switch or antenna switch. If they are used at low frequencies see the above description.

Multiplier diodes -- Varactor and Step - Recovery

pag A 19

-- STEP-RECOVERY or SNAP-OFF for low power applications or high multiplication > 4 or broadband comb generation, for very fast pulse. The choice of the diode can be empirically determined by the following rules: lifetime > input frequency period. ( > 1/F in), transition time < output frequency period (trr <1/F out), with step-recovery diodes it is possible to obtain very high multiplication factors and output frequencies up to 26 GHz and beyond. -- VARACTOR generally used for medium and high power multiplication, x2, x3, x4 with high efficiency output typical 60% x2, to 35% x4, they are available in a range from 400 MHz to 18 GHz of output frequency. In addition to these diodes, born just as multipliers, there are also diodes for other uses with lower performances than step-recovery but at very low cost, eg. for multiplication within 2 to 5 GHz it can be used a varicap and pin or RF schottky matched pairs as frequency doublers and even ultra-fast switching diodes but with Cj <1pF and trr <1ns, all for low-power applications. For millimeter multipliers >30 GHz are used beam-lead Schottky diodes.

NOISE SOURCE diodes

pag A 21

All the materials generate noise and the noise is proportional to its temperature starting from 0K (-273C). The noise depends on the chaotic movements of the electrons, the thermal noise is known as white noise (from optical physics) as it fills the whole spectrum. From an electronics point of view the noise causes big limitations to our devices for example amplifiers, instruments, radars, receivers, electro-medical, etc A very simple example is the sensitivity limitation of receivers caused by the noise. Although the noise causes problems and limitations, it will be explained how in some cases, if it is artificially generated, it can even improve our electronic devices (see dithering) or help to do some tests, a calibrated noise source is a very important tool in our labs. NOISE GENERATORS . The first noise generators used noble gas such as Argon with 15.3dBENR, Neon with 18.5dBENR, Helium with 21dBENR and were born in order to test the first radar systems in the 1940s. Another method to generate noise is to use hot and cold resistors, mainly used in research labs with very high precision, this technique due to its complexity is used only in physic laboratories or in calibration centers. Today the most used noise generators are special diodes, noise diodes. A reverse polarized diode until it reaches the avalanche effect is an example of noise generator (see Zener diodes). Unlike Zener diodes, the noise diodes are doped and developed to cover a wider band (low Cj) with an output level really flat and more stable. OUTPUT LEVEL For noise source applications the output level cannot be indicated as for other signal generators. Signal generators, transmitters etc have the output level indication in mV, dBm, W etc. If you have a 100 to 200MHz sweep signal generator we say that the output level is for example -10dBm, the amplitude of -10dBm is swept from 100 to 200MHz but it is not simultaneously in the whole frequency range. In the case of noise sources the amplitude is simultaneously on the entire frequency range, this means that the amplitude is defined in dBm/Hz power spectral density, or in ENR excess noise ratio. ENR means the ratio in decibel of the output noise between the ON and OFF state of the diode, in the OFF state the diode has only -174dBm/Hz which is the output level generated by a resistor at 290K (about 17 C). For example, if we have a power spectral density of -142dBm/Hz it means that (174 - 142 = 32) so the ENR is 32 dB. If the bandwidth is 10Hz the noise power is -132dBm/10Hz if the bandwidth is 10KHz the noise power is -102dBm/10KHz. 3 values of IF bandwidth (BW), as it narrows the See the example on the right, in a spectrum analyzer the noise level changes depending on the used IF bandwidth. bandwidth the noise level down by law 10log BW, examples: half BW corresponds to -3dB, four times BW corresponds to +6 dB one tenth BW corresponds to -10dB, etc..

Some applications for noise source diodes

DITHERING
In an A/D converter for example digital receivers, the noise injected improves the quantization error, the sensitivity will be improved (this method is also used in audio and video).

AUDIO AND ULTRASONIC TEST


to find problems of mechanical vibration and reverberation in automotive field, buildings, etc... or for soundproofing tests

NOISE FIGURE MEASURES


Test intruments for noise figure measurement in low noise amplifiers, converters, receivers, mixers and front-ends.

SPECTRUM ANALYZER CALIBRATION


With a calibrated noise source devices it is very easy to verify the amplitude calibration of a spectrum analyzer, the real advantage is the RF generation simultaneously on all the band.

TESTS ON RECEIVERS
The noise is useful to measure the sensitivity in some complex receivers like radars, base stations, radiometers etc A noise source can substitute for a more complex RF generator, moreover it can generate noise in a broad band spectrum simultaneously.

NPR DISTORTION MEASURES


This is a complex intermodulation measurement very often made on multichannels FDM, MMDS, CATV, cellular base stations, etc.. Injecting noise and measuring the distortion with special notch filters is used to obtain the measurement.

FADING SIMULATOR
By modulating an RF signal with noise it is possible to simulate a signal affected by fading, this is very useful in mobile radio testing.

Tests on noise diodes and advices for usage


-- We would point out that the choice of a SMD case (Sod 323 on the model NS 301) was evaluated carefully as the normal version (glass) didnt give us good results regarding the band flatness, with a ripple over 2 GHz definitely not acceptable, while with the special SMD version together with a good mounting you get a better flatness of the output level (see chart below ENR NS301). -- With the NS 303 to have a output level flatness it has to be used a good dc-block capacitor on the output, we searched for dc-block 1000pF capacitors particularly suitable for this use and low cost, they are suitable to work until at least 10GHz with a ripple on attenuation <0.5dB over the entire 10 MHz - 11 GHz band, with this capacity value the cut off frequency of the dc-block (minimum freq.) is about 5 MHz, see Capacitors sections up to 40 GHz Ultra Wide Band cod.

Neon with 18.5dBENR, Helium with 21dBENR and were born in order to test the first radar systems. Another system to generate noise is to use hot and cold resistors, mainly used in research labs with very high precision. Zener diodes can be used to generate noise but the output level is not constant, not predictable and used only for HF frequencies, even some bipolar transistors like BFR34 have been used in the past for amateur applications using the reverse biased base-emitter diode, the output level is definitely not constant. For our applications the right selections are: 12

NS-301 SMD sod323 case, up to 3.5GHz NS-303 ceramic gold plated case, up to 10GHz Both types are silicon avalanche diodes that provide 30-35dBENR with a broadband spectrum starting from 10Hz. In this article I will focus on the 3.5GHz type and in a second article I will also describe the 10GHz type which is more complicated. At the beginning I tested the glass case type but this case was not suitable because the maximum frequency can be around 1.5 - 2GHz, for the same price we can have 3.5GHz with a flatter output level.

Fig 3 : Circuit diagram for a noise source up to 3.5GHz using an NS-301 noise diode.

types of capacitors, ATC porcelain capacitors have less insertion loss at microwave frequencies but they cant be used because their Q increase the self resonance dip. For this purpose I selected a special capacitor case, 0805 COG, which can be used up to 12GHz (about 1.5nF), with this capacitor the minimum frequency is about 10MHz. In the next article about the 10GHz noise source diode I will describe these capacitors in more details. For 3GHz application the C1 capacitor isnt a crucial component, case 0805 or 0603 and values form 1nF to 10nF are good anyway. C2, C3 bypass capacitors These capacitors are not critical; they can be 1nF and 10nF. R1 - RF load resistors This resistor is the sum of 3 resistors in series in order to keep the stray capacity as low as possible, the total value can be around 30 to 40 The manufacturer of noise diodes says that the diode impedance is about 20 to 40, I noticed that by assigning to R1 a lower resistance (20), the output noise level is flatter, on the contrary with an increased resistance (40) the output noise level is a little higher. If possible, it is better to solder the resistors without using copper track on 14

the PCB. R2 - bias resistor For the noise diode NS-301 at about 5mA, +8/+12 V, the correct value is 3.3K if you use the diode for noise figure measurements with a classic +28V pulse available from all the noise figure meters. If the diode is used as a general purpose noise generator to test a filter, for example with a spectrum analyser, you can connect directly to a +8/+12Vdc without the R2 resistor. NS - Noise diode As described above the NS-301 sod323 diode is a good selection for the 3GHz frequency range, it is important to remember to keep the pins as short as possible! The diode must be mounted very close to the output connector. P.C. board The FR4 fibreglass p.c. board is ok, the insertion loss is so little that it isnnt worth a teflon laminate, vice versa it is very important the noise diode ground connection that has to be as short as possible (see the above explanation). I tested several noise source diodes in my lab with sod323 case, Fig 4 shows the best and the worst result, in the frequency range 10MHz to 3GHz with 2dB/step and 300MHz/step, the centre reference level is 15dBENR and the noise source diode is connected with a 16dB pad attenuator.

Fig 4 : The best and the worst test results on different noise source diodes.

2.3 Output attenuator The purpose of this attenuator is two fold, the first one is to obtain the

15dBENR which is the right noise level accepted by a lot on noise figure meters. The output noise of the NS-301 diode is about 30-35dBENR this means that with a 16dB attenuator you can have about 15dBENR. Any other attenuation values can be used to get other ENR values. The second and most important purpose of this attenuator is to match the output impedance to 50. In noise source devices used for noise figure measurement, one of the most important condition is to match the output impedance as near as possible the 50 resistive load, the easiest way is to insert an attenuator to the output connector. Normally the ultra low noise GaAsFet preamplifiers have a very bad input return loss, typically a VSWR from 20 to 2 (return loss from 1 to 9.5dB), so if we test this kind of preamplifier with a noise source with an high return loss the total error is unacceptable. Fig 5 shows a simple explanation of the mismatch due to the noise figure measurement, we can assume that the preamplifier input return loss is 3.5dB, SWR = 5 (it can seem too high but it is a realistic value). 15

Fig 6 : Instability of noise source diode output.

If our noise figure meter measures 2dBNF and we assume also that the noise source output return loss is 23dB (SWR 1.15), the true noise figure can be between +0.63dB/ - 0.7dB for a 2dB measured value. In conclusion we should keep the SWR of a noise source as low as possible in

order to do more accurate noise figure measurements. Fig 6 shows the instability that it is quite good for amateur applications, for 8 hours of continuous operation it is only 0.07dB of output level but there is also a 0.03dB of testing instrument instability to consider.

3. General purpose noise generator


As shown in Table 1 a diode noise source can be used successfully in a broadband noise generator combined with a spectrum analyser like a tracking generator. This is not a true tracking generator because it works in a different way. As I said above the tracking generator is like a sweep generator so its frequency moves from start to end but it is not simultaneous in all the frequency range. If we combine a broadband noise generator with a spectrum analyser we

can do a measurement of band pass filters, return loss etc. The signal coming from the noise generator diode is very low so we need at least 45dB of amplification, however 65dB is better. The real difficulty is to obtain a reasonable flat amplifier response. For this purpose I made an amplifier using INA03184 and INA10386 MMICs, the result is shown in Fig 7 and the total response is given by the noise source diode combined with the 45dB amplifier. Figs 8 and 9 show the 45dB broadband amplifier from few MHz to 2.5GHz used as noise amplifier in order to test the 2GHz band pass filter. This circuit is not difficult to build and it can be used in any lab as general purpose broadband amplifier.

Fig 10 : Dynamic range of a 2GHz band pass filter

Fig 10 shows the dynamic range of a typical 2GHz band pass filter with a noise amplification of 45 dB and 65dB. The dynamic range improves with more amplification, but it is more difficult to achieve a flat output level. Fig 11 shows the equipment setup used for the filter measurement. It is demonstrated that with a simple noise generator and a good amplifier it is possible to build an instrument very close to a tracking generator to use with any kind of spectrum analyser. It means that we can upgrade an old spectrum

analyser, typically the HP 141 series or any other type, with an option that works like a tracking generator. NS301 noise source specifications are: Frequency range: Output level : Bias: 10Hz - 3.5GHz 30/35dBENR (-144/-139dBm/Hz) +8/+12V, 5mA

10MHz - 10GHz Noise source diodes

pag A 31

1 - Introduction In VHF Communications 1/2007(1) I described a simple 10MHz to 3.5GHz noise source, the purpose of that article was to explain how to build a very simple noise generator using the NS-301 noise diode, either for applications like noise figure measurement or for a broadband noise generator for scalar applications with a spectrum analyser. Now I will describe a 10MHz - 10GHz noise source generator with an improved bias network that uses the NS-303 noise diode. This project was born some months ago for the 13th E.M.E. (moon bounce) conference in Florence during August 2008, the organisation asked me to cooperate to build some noise source generators to give to participants during the conference. Tests and measurements are supported by 20 pieces of noise source generators built for this conference, so I think that results are very reliable and repeatable. 2 - Schematic diagram and components The noise generator uses the NS-303 diode that is guaranteed up to 8GHz but following the descriptions below it will be very easy to reach 10.5GHz making possible to use it up to the 3cm band (10.368 GHz), using a diode of moderate price. The aim of this article is to explain how to build a noise generator using easy to find components.

Diode NS-303 specifications Frequency range: 10Hz - 8GHz (max. 10GHz) Output level: about 30dBENR Bias: 8 - 10mA (8 - 12V)

with an 0805 case that have the best performances referred to low level applications (not to be used in RF power applications or in low noise amplifiers). I choose to put 2 1000pF capacitors in parallel in order to reach a minimum frequency of 10MHz.

C5 capacitor CCB-1nF
Insertion loss of 1nF NP0 class 1 capacitor with span 10MHz - 12GHz, 1dB/div. It demonstrates that there are no SRF in the entire band. C = 10.5GHz marker

Fig. 3 For ultra broad band applications the ATC manufacturer has a capacitors of 100nF with 16KHz to 40GHz frequency operation in a 0402 case(3) but I prefer to avoid this special component and use more easy to find one. In Fig 3 the 1nF capacitors show a low insertion loss, with 2 capacitors in parallel, the marker C shows an insertion loss of about 0.2dB at 10.5GHz that is appropriate for this project at low price. 2.4 - P.C. board The noise generator is considered a passive circuit so it is not necessary to use very expensive Teflon laminates, moreover the track length is so short that the attenuation introduced makes it unnecessary to use Teflon laminates. I selected ceramic laminate, that is very popular in RF applications, with r 3.40. It is available in several brands and they all have the same performance, Rogers RO4003 or RO4350, Arlon 25N etc, with a thickness of 30mils (0.76mm). In order to easily reach the 10GHz band it is necessary to remove the ground plane around R3, R4, R5 and L1, the size is 7 x 4mm 2.5 - Metallic box As shown in Fig 5 the components of the noise source generator are enclosed in a very small milled box. Every box behaves like a cavity excited by several secondary propagation modes. For higher frequencies or in medium size boxes the RF circuit will also have many secondary propagation modes at various frequencies. Since every box is different in size, shape and operating frequency the calculation of secondary propagation modes is very difficult. To avoid this problem microwave absorbers are very often used placed into the cover of the box to damper the resonance(4). I selected a very small box in order to avoid both the secondary propagation modes and the microwave absorber; the size that I used gives no troubles up to 10GHz. If someone wants to increase the size of the box (internal size) it will be necessary to use a microwave absorber.

3 - Bias current The nominal current should be 8mA, during my tests I found that the output noise level has a quite strange but interesting variation: increasing the diode current the output noise level decrease of about 0.5dB/mA up to about 9GHz, beyond this frequency the effect is exactly the opposite. Fig 6 shows the difference in output ENR of about 1dB with 8 and 10mA bias current and Fig 7 shows a little improvement of frequency range by about 500MHz with 8 and 10mA bias current. Fig 7 shows the decrease of about 1dB of ENR level with 10mA instead of 8mA maintaining the same shape in the diagram. During the calibration it is possible to play with the current to tune the ENR level, if you can loose 1dB of ENR level, you will have a more extended frequency range which is exactly what is needed to reach the 3cm amateur radio frequency band (10.4GHz). The bias current can be measured easily directly on the BNC input connector with +28Vdc from a normal power supply; the input current is more or less the same current through the noise diode. Fig. 6 It shows the variation of output noise level vs. current Span 10MHz - 3GHz 1dB/div.

Fig. 7 It shows the variation of output noise level vs. current Span 3GHz - 11GHz 1dB/div.

4 - Test results I tested 20 pieces of the noise sources generator and they all gave nearly the same results, the measurement below, Fig 8, refer to the use of a 6dB internal attenuator plus a 8dB external attenuator (MaCom or Narda dc-18 GHz). A typical output noise level can be 15dBENR +/-1.5dB or 15dBENR +/-2dB or 15dBENR +1/2dB, a ripple of +/-1.5dB or +/-2dB is a normal values. The output return loss depends mainly on the external attenuator; I measured a 30dB return loss up to 5GHz, 28dB up to 8GHz and 25 to 28dB at 10GHz. We have to consider that each 1dB more of external attenuation will improve the output return loss by 2dB, so if you can use, for instance, an attenuator of 17/18dB you will reach a very good return loss (>30/35dB) with an output noise around 5dBENR. Fig. 8 Typical output noise from 2 different noise sources. Span 10MHz - 10.5GHz Reference line 15dBENR 1dB/div.

5 - Calibration Unfortunately the calibration of a noise source is not an easy thing to do. We know very well that RF signal generators have an output level precision of typically +/1/1.5dB and this doesnt worry us, we also know that our power meter can reach +/-0.5dB precision or even better. We need a very high precision for a noise generator used with a noise figure meter. For the classic noise source 346A, B and C, Agilent gives ENR uncertainty of +/- 0.2dB max. (< 0.01dB/C). The new N4000 series are used for the new noise figure analyser N8975A with ENR uncertainty of +/-0.15 dB max. In my lab I used the new noise figure analyser N8975A with the precision noise source N4001A so I can guarantee a typical precision of +/- 0.1dB up to 3GHz and 0.15dB up to 10GHz. It means that the calibration must be done with a good reference noise source, it can be a calibrated noise source compared with the one you have built with a low noise preamplifier and a typical noise figure meter. Example: you have a low noise amplifier with 0.6dBNF and your calibrated noise source indicates a 15.35dB of ENR, now you can change the noise source to the one you have built and for instance you measure 0.75dBNF, it means that your noise source has 15.35 + (0.75dB - 0.6dB) = 15.50dBENR.

6 - Other application As I described in the previous article(1) that the noise source can be used as a broadband noise generator combined with a spectrum analyser like a tracking generator for scalar applications. This is not a true tracking generator because it works in a different way (read my previous article(1)). The problem here is to reach 3 decades of frequency range, 10MHz to 10GHz, with a flat amplifier of at least 50dB. Today some MMICs are available that can do this work like ERA1, ERA2, MGA86576 etc, the problems can be to reach a flat amplification and to avoid self oscillations with such high amplification. This device can be very interesting because it can be a useful tool to use with any kind of obsolete spectrum analyser to tune filters, to measure the return loss etc up to 10GHz.

Rauschquelle fr 10 MHz bis 10 GHz

Die Idee zu diesem Projekt wurde vor einigen Monaten im Vorfeld der 13. E.M.E.-Konferenz in Florenz im August 2008 geboren. Von den Organisatoren wurde ich gebeten, Rauschgeneratoren fr diese Konferenz zu bauen. Die erfolgreiche Entwicklung fhrte zum Bau einer Reihe von Gerten. Die Tests und Messungen wurden an insgesamt 20 Gerten durchgefhrt. Somit sollten die Ergebnisse verlsslich und wiederholbar sein.

Diese Dmpfungsglieder sind hier sehr wichtig um einen Ausgangspegel von etwa 15 dBENR zu erhalten. Viel wichtiger ist noch eine Rckflussdmpfung am Ausgang, die so niedrig wie mglich ist. In [1] wurde bereits beschrieben, dass der Hauptgrund fr Fehler bei Rauschzahlmessungen die Unsicherheit der Fehlanpassung ist. Der Gesamtwert der beiden Abschwcher ATT1 + ATT2 kann bei etwa 14 dB liegen. Die Bilder 5 und 6 zeigen ein 6 dB-ChipDmpfungsglied, das auf eine Leiterplatte montiert wurde und ein externes 7 - 8 dB Dmpfungsglied von guter Qualitt. Es zeigt sich, dass die Ausgangs-Rckflussdmpfung hauptschlich vom letzten Abschwcher (ATT2) bestimmt wird. Der erste Abschwcher (ATT1) kann

durchaus preiswerter sein und direkt auf die Leiterplatte geltet werden, da er fr eine gute Ausgangsanpassung weniger entscheidend ist. Hier wurde ein externes Dmpfungsglied mit 7 bzw. 8 dB eingesetzt um den besten Ausgangs-ENR-Wert zu erhalten, da jede Diode ihr eigenes Ausgangsrauschen hat. Natrlich kann jeder individuell den Wert des Ausgangsdmpfungsglieds whlen, je nach bentigem ENR. Hier wurde ein Ausgangspegel von 15 dBENR gewhlt, was auf Abschwcherwerte von 14 dB herausluft.

Der Wahl des Ausgangskondensators C5 ist hier sehr viel Aufmerksamkeit

Der Ausgangskondensator soll die Gleichspannung auf dem Ausgangssignal abblocken und lediglich das HFSignal mit geringstmglichen Verlusten durchlassen.

densatoren zu vermeiden, wurde nach Alternativen Ausschau gehalten, die mglichst keine Resonanzstellen und ein niedrigeres Q haben. Viele Bauteile wurden berprft und gemessen, bis sich folgendes Ergebnis zeigte: MultilayerKondensatoren (Klasse 1) in der Gre 0805 mit Material NPO zeigen hier, also fr Kleinleistungsanwendung, das beste Verhalten, (sie sind jedoch fr HF-Leistungsanwendungen oder fr rauscharme Verstrker ungeeignet!). Gewhlt wurde hier die Parallelschaltung von zwei 1000 pF-Kondensatoren um auch nach unten minimal bis 10 MHz zu kommen. Speziell fr Breitband-Anwendungen wird von ATC ein 100 nF-Kondensator in der Bauform 0402 [3] angeboten; nachdem dies jedoch ein Spezialbauteil ist, wurden die oben beschriebenen leichter verfgbaren Bauteile bevorzugt.

Die geringe Einfgedmpfung der 1 nFKondensatoren ist in Bild 4 dargestellt. Die Parallelschaltung der beiden Kondensatoren bringt auf 10,5 GHz (Marker C) eine Einfgedmpfung von lediglich 0,2 dB; das ist fr dieses Projekt in Ordnung und das zu einem gnstigen Preis.

Der Rauschgenerator sollte eigentlich eine passive Schaltung sein, weshalb keine teure Teflon-Leiterplatte erforderlich ist. Auerdem sind die Leitungslngen sehr kurz und die verursachten Verluste noch akzeptabel - also kein Teflon. Gewhlt wurde hier ein Keramik-Laminat, was fr HF-Anwendungen durchaus blich ist, mit einem r von 3,40. Dieses gibt es von verschiedenen Herstellern mit vergleichbaren Eigenschaften: ROGERS RO4003 oder RO4350, Arlon 25N

quenzen der eingebauten Schaltungen unterschiedlich sind, ist die Berechnung der sekundren Ausbreitungsmodi sehr schwierig. Um dieses Problem zu umgehen, werden hufig Mikrowellenabsorbermaterialien (z.B. leitfhiger Schaumstoff ) eingesetzt, die z.B. in den Gehusedeckel geklebt werden. Damit versucht man mgliche Resonanzen zu bedmpfen oder zu verhindern. Der Versuch, all diesen Problemen aus dem Weg zu gehen, fhrte zu einem sehr kleinen Gehuse, das problemlos bis 10 GHz einsetzbar ist. Mchte jemand die Innenmae grer gestalten, wird wieder Absorbermaterial notwendig werden. Weiterhin ist es notwendig, einen 3 mm tiefen Spalt (7 mm x 4 mm) unter den Widerstnden R3, R4, R5 und L1 aus dem Gehuseboden zu frsen, damit der Abstand zur Masseflche grer wird.

Bild 7: Hier sieht man die Rauschpegel bei 8 mA bzw. 10 mA Diodenstrom; Bereich: 10 MHz bis 3 GHz bei 1 dB/Div.

Der Nominalwert sollte bei etwa 8 mA liegen. Bei den Tests stellte sich etwas sehr eigenartiges bezglich des Ausgangsrauschpegels heraus: erhht man den Diodenstrom, so nimmt der Pegel mit etwa 0,5 dB/mA ab bis zu etwa 9 GHz, darber zeigt sich jedoch der entgegengesetzte Effekt - der Pegel steigt! Den Unterschied des Ausgangs-ENR von etwa 1 dB bei einem BIAS-Strom von 8 bzw. 10 mA zeigt Bild 7. Eine Erweiterung des Frequenzbereichs um etwa 500 MHz bei einem BIAS-Strom von 8 bzw. 10 mA zeigt Bild 8. Weiterhin sieht man den Rckgang des Pegels um etwa 1 dB bei 10 mA anstelle von 8 mA bei etwa gleichbleibender Kurvenform. Natrlich kann man beim Abgleich etwas

mit dem Strom spielen um so den ENRPegel zu optimieren. Man muss sich also beim Abgleich entscheiden, ob man eher auf 1 dB-Ausgangspegel verzichten kann zugunsten eines erweiterten Frequenzbereiches bis einschlielich 3-cm-Band, oder ob man mehr Pegel haben mchte und dann eben nicht bis 10 GHz kommt. Den BIAS-Strom kann man einfach direkt an der BNC-Eingangsbuchse messen, wenn man 28 V-DC von einem normalen Netzteil anlegt; der gemessene Strom ist mehr oder weniger genau der Strom, der durch die Diode fliet.

Im Rahmen dieses Projekts wurden 20 Rauschgeneratoren aufgebaut und getestet. Die Messergebnisse fr

alle Gerte waren nahezu identisch. Die Messkurven in Bild 9 wurden mit einem internen 6 dB und einem externen 8 dBDmpfungsglied (MaCom oder Narda DC-18 GHz) erstellt. Ein typischer Ausgangs-Rauschpegel kann z.B. 15 dBENR 1,5 dB oder 15 dBENR 2 dB oder 15 dBENR +1/-2 dB sein, wobei eine Pegelschwankung von 1,5 oder 2 dB ein normaler Wert ist. Die Rckflussdmpfung am Ausgang hngt hauptschlich vom externen Dmpfungsglied ab. So konnten Werte von 30 dB bis 5 GHz, 28 dB bis 8 GHz und 25 (-28 dB) bei 10 GHz gemessen werden. Hierbei gilt ganz einfach, dass jedes dB mehr am externen Dmpfungsglied die Rckflussdmpfung gleich um 2 dB verbessert. Verwendet man beispiels217

weise ein externes Dmpfungsglied von 17 oder 18 dB kann man eine sehr gute Rckflussdmpfung in der Grenordnung >30 - 35 dB erreichen; das Rauschsignal liegt dann bei etwa 5 dBENR.

Der Abgleich einer Rauschquelle ist leider etwas aufwendiger. Wenn man sich die Daten z.B. eines HF-Signalgenerators ansieht, findet man eine Genauigkeit des Ausgangssignals von typ. 1 - 1,5 dB; das wird auch weithin akzeptiert. Sehr genaue Leistungsmessgerte erreichen eine Genauigkeit von 0,5 dB oder sogar besser. Mchte man allerdings die Rauschzahl messen, liegen die Anforderungen noch etwas hher; das beduetet, dass die

Fr den neuen Rauschzahl-Analysator N8975A werden Rauschquellen der neuen N4000er-Serie eingesetzt. Verwendet man im Labor ein Rauschzahlmessgert N8975A mit einer Rauschquelle N4001, so kann man beispielsweise typ. Genauigkeiten der Messung von 0,1 dB bis 3 GHz und 0,15 dB bis 10 GHz erreichen. Das bedeutet, dass der Abgleich der hier beschriebenen Rauschquelle idealer Weise mit einer sehr guten Rauschquelle als Vergleich vorgenommen werden sollte. Also wird die Eigenbau-Rauschquelle mit einer kalibrierten Rauschquelle im

Beispiel: Man verwendet einen rauscharmen Verstrker mit einer bekannten Rauschzahl von 0,6 dB und die kalibrierte Rauschquelle liefert 15,35 dBENR. Wechselt man nun die Rauschquellen und schliet die Eigenbauversion an, misst man z.B. eine Rauschzahl von 0,75 dB. Das bedeutet, dass die eigene Rauschquelle einen Pegel von: 15,35 dB + (0,75 dB - 0,6 dB) = 15,50 dBENR hat.

Natrlich ist das kein echter Tacking- Generator, weil er ja ganz anders arbei- tet. Das Problem liegt einfach darin, dass man einen Frequenzbereich ber 3 Deka- den erreichen sollte, also von 10 MHz bis 10 GHz mit einem linearen Verstrker mit mindestens 50 dB Verstrkung! Es gibt heutzutage entsprechende MMICs, die hierfr geeignet wren, wie die Typen ERA-1, ERA-2, MGA 86576 u.s.w. Problematisch ist jedoch, eine sehr flache Verstrkungskurve ber den gro- en Frequenzbereich zu erhalten und die Schwingneigung bei so hohen Verstr- kungen zu verhindern. So eine Baugruppe kann natrlich ein sehr ntzliches Hilfsmittel fr die unter- schiedlichsten Messaufgaben sein. Es kann beim Filterabgleich mit Spektrumanalysatoren eingesetzt werden oder zur Messung der Rckflussdmpfung - und das bis 10 GHz.

HF high dynamic H mode Mixers

pag B 1

Some electronic devices (usable as general purpose switches) can be used for HF up to 30MHz as high dynamic mixer, these are low cost components but it is possible to obtain high dynamic mixers. These components are FETs in quadruple configuration used as switches called 4 Bit Bus Switch, or quadruple logical ports used as switches too. Both are always driven by a C-Mos logical port on low level LO signal. We will not dwell on the explanation of these mixers (see Internet or magazines) the cost of these components is very low because they were developed for consumer market. The trick lies in selecting devices that, among all the many available products, have low parasitic capacity, fast switching times and very low RDS series resistance. price each original function cod. 1 - 10 pcs C Mos SMD , 4 bilateral it is the simpliest and cheapest solution for H mode 0,50 - 0,45 CD 4066-SMD switch mixers 0,80 CD 4066-DIL SMD , 4 bit bus switch Cin 3pF , 5 dB loss , OL only -10 dBm 2,00 - 1,80 FST 3125 M DIL , 4 bit bus switch

PASSIVE MIXERS useful informations


The passive mixers are versatile and extraordinary components, they are also suitable for other applications in addition to theirs classic, some of these applications are well known but others a little less. In these few lines we will also give you some little tips on how to best use them.

examples of balanced mixers particular applications


Balanced Modulator Demodulator DSB
Balanced mixers and modulators are substantially equal, mixers are also used as audio modulators or demodulators provided that the IF port is DC coupled, in fact some years ago they were called also as balaced modulators (see VHF Comm 2-96). RF 9.000 MHz 9.001 + 8.999 MHz

audio 1 KHz in the reverse mode as demodulator

Phase detector

Applying two identical frequencies are identical to the RF and OL ports, in IF there will be d.c. voltage proportional to the phase difference of the two signals. This is obviously valid only for those mixers who have the IF port coupled in d.c.. The early synthesizers in the 60s had the phase comparator made by a balaced mixer. Some mixers have a positive polarity output other negative, eg. SBL1 and SRA 1 have negative polarity with offset of 1 mV.

+V out 0 -V
0 90 180

PSK QPSK Modulator Demodulator

In simple words we can say that two mixers, a 0 hybrid and a 90 hybrid can form a modulator or demodulator for digital signals, this happened for example at the beginning with the first GSM module. In this case, however, the bandwidth is limited to 10-15% of the mixer bandwdth. By applying a signal to the LO port with RF output port it is possible, through the IF input port, make an attenuation with typical range of 3 - 40 dB. The same function is as limiter, pulse modulator, etc.. For example, the mixer SRA 1 and SBL 1 have the minimum attenuation at 3 dB with 20 mA of bias.

PASSIVE MIXERS , suggestions on how to use


- The RF and IF ports can be freely swapped. For example in the case of conversion up (as in a spectrum analyzer or TX UP converter) RF port is exchanged with the IF as the RF port often has a larger range than IF. - The passive mixers offer very large IMD dynamics, the IF port should be well adapted to broadband for example by a 2 - 4 dB attenuator on IF output to improve the matching (see page not connectorized attenuators). - A mixer can be used also beyond its frequency specification, being a broadband aperiodic circuit the slope of degradation is slow. In practical experience degradation is the worsening of insulation between the ports (or of the balance if it is used as a balanced modulator) going up versus frequency the LO port would seem to be more tolerant to overcome its limits either at higher or at lower frequencies.

SIM series, a new family of microwave mixer

pag B 5

This is a new family of double balanced passive mixers from Minicircuits with a wide bandwidth , both in RF-OL ( up to 15 GHz ) and in IF ( up to 4 GHz ) . They are fabricated using the LTCC technology , Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic , with multilayer circuits , using multiple layers of ceramic substrate tape . The benefits of LTCC are : - Super small size , this is very important for the microwave technology . - High repeatability and high performances using low loss ceramic substrate . - Low cost for high volume production . LTCC is a repeatable process , it can reliably produce large quantities of microwave components , measuring a fraction of the size of components fabricated with conventional substrate materials . Thanks to wide IF bandwidth they are usable as up and down converter , covering a large number of applications to 15 GHz . With 8 different models , the frequency range is from 750 MHz to 15 GHz and OL level from +4 to +10 dBm . High isolation typical 25 dB ( 20 to 35 dB ) , not so bad for very wide bandwidth devices .

This is a 21 to 24 GHz receiving FRONT-END, the RF input is in WR42 waveguide with its input matching, it follows the first isolator in order to match the waveguide and the amplifier. The low noise amplifier is a GaAsFET internal matched MMIC already matched by the manufacturer on the lower 21-22GHz band, type FMC2122LN-03, or on the higher 2223 GHz band, type FMC2223LN-03. The characteristic of this amplifier is a gain of 12-13 dB with a noise figure of 3-3.5 dB and an excellent stability and repeatability very hard to obtain at these frequencies. There is another insulator as matching to avoid the return of the LO signal towards the antenna. The mixer consists of 2 quads of Schottky beam lead HP HSCH 9301. This configuration, well known in microwave field, allows to use a LO at half frequency of the normally required simplifying the LO circuit. Here follows a wide band hybrid for the IF output centered at 1GHz but usable from 500 MHz to 1500 MHz. low band model high band model

pag C 1

MAYBE NOT ALL KNOW THAT the first GaAsFet was born in California in 1965 while the first commercial products were available in 1967 made by Fairchild. It was then the turn of HP in 1972 and Fujitsu in 1973 to greatly improve performance for applications that really concerned the microwave. The first HEMT saw the light in 1985 by the Californian Gould. ADVICE ON LOW NOISE GA-AS-FETs CHOICE
Some manufacturers provide their devices both with long leads (sold individually in small amounts) and with short leads usually in tape reels of 1000 pcs. The only difference is that the models with the short leads, on tape, are used in pick and place machines for SMD components placing in large volumes so they have a lower price. In the selection is a good thing to examine this fact and take advantage of a more attractive price. Eg: MGF 1303 long leads = MGF1903 short leads, even for models MGF 43 ... with long leads = MGF 49 ... with short leads.

DEVICES FOR LOW NOISE WITH HIGH OR VERY HIGH DYNAMIC FRONT-END
For high dynamic and low noise applications, for example in the RX front-end in VHF UHF, it is possible to use the new generation GaAs PHEMT enhancement devices that does not require negative bias, see ATF 54143, they are designed to work as front-end in 900 and 1800 MHz base stations. For even more dynamics (just when it needs a device that works with current of 100 mA and above) you can use all the devices normally used at medium power for microwave TX eg. CLY10, MGF1801, ATF 26550 and even the more powerful MGF2415, 2430 or type EPA060B-70 the more modern and at low cost.

Power Ga-As FETs, not matched


The power amplifier Ga-As FETs are divided into 2 categories :

pag C 5
matched Ga-As FETs

not matched Ga-As FETs

The Ga-As FET herein are not matched, they are usually the most widely used because of their characteristic being broadband can be used on multiple frequencies. They are characterized by a smaller case (compared with internal matched types) just for the fact that they have no internal matching networks. Take the example of a 1.1 W device characterized at 14.5 GHz, type MGF 2430A, Mitsubishi specifies it at 14.5 GHz, it can also be used at much lower frequency and up about 15 GHz because inside it there aret pre-matching circuits, so the device is to be considered as broadband, it is typically used in X-band but it can reach 2 - 3 GHz and up to 15 GHz. The possibility to use it in broadband, and therefore to have a wider sales market, has a downside, that is the device has to be adapted to the frequency of use and rarely it has its own matching already at 50. On the following pages it will be shown the GaAsFET already adapted to 50 , with narrower band widths.

Later in the catalog there are some pages devoted to voltage ergulators, some of these are specially designed to supply power to GaAsFETs and HEMTs. One example among many is MAX850 that is an already stabilized regulator for negative gate so it means that there is no need for a positive stabilizer followed by the negative generator, moreover are avalilable several low voltage stabilizers for HEMT and modern MMIC with low power supply voltage from 1.8 to 3.6 V.

internally matched power Ga-As FETs

pag C 8

The following Ga-As FETs are pre-matched with a matching network close to 50 inside the device, this is applicable for a moderate bandwidth, it means that into his own bandwidth the 50 matching is very easy. For their operation just a connection on a 50 track is needed, additional tunings are also possible (with the usual straw slid on the input and output tracks) but they will not lead to substantial improvements. Compared to all not matched types they have a larger case that also serves to enclose the various matching networks. Unlike the standard not matched types, they work only within their frequency band, with an over-range that depends a lot on power as when the devices have limited power, eg 1 W or 2 W, the internal matching and combining networks are rather simple and therefore fewer, so they can be used far beyond the optimal bandwidth, the classic example is the RFMA7185-S1 model, optimized for 7.1 - 8.5 GHz, that is usable also from 6 to 10+ GHz . For devices that have more power eg. 4+ W matching and combining networks are more complicated and numerically more abundant so the frequency band is narrowed.

A simple 10GHz power amplifier for beginners


1.0 Introduction 2.0
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how extremely ease it is for begin- ners in the microwave field to build a 10GHz power amplifier. Can you understand a guy who usually makes things dead-bug style (ugly construction) who proposes this for a 10GHz project? There is no problem building this 10GHz power amplifier in a similar way to dead-bug style because the component that I will explain always works without problems, I even made a sample of this device that will shock hard core micro- wave fans but it shows the reliability of this component. I also think that thanks to this article there will be an incentive to use the 10GHz band because many hams have a transverter with 10mW output that can be raised to 1W with this device. The amplifier can be used with SSB modulation, ATV or any other kind of modula- tion including pulse modulation. To be sure of the really good application of this device I made eight prototypes with different mounting styles, different serial numbers and different data codes. They all worked well, so I can surely say that the device has no problems.

Microwave power devices


In the microwave field there are two different ways to build a power amplifier: the most popular components are broadband power GaAs-FETs, they have an average price and they are well known and readily available. Because they are broadband (they can be used at 1GHz as well as at 10GHz) they need matching for all frequencies, this may cause some complications. The advantage is that these components have a wider application area and they are a little less expensive than an MMIC. They have a small package because they have no internal matching network. another solution is to use internally matched GaAs-FETs (also known as MMIC), they are very simple to use because the internal networks match the impedance near 50 but these matching networks limit the bandwidth.

Fig 1: Microscope photograph of the RFMA7185-S1.

If we use a high power device, internally matched, the power combiners and the matching networks in the device reduce the bandwidth. The devices for high power have more complicated internal matching networks that reduce the band- width quite a lot. If instead we use a medium power de- vice, the power combiners and the matching networks in the device will have a relatively wider bandwidth that will allow it to be used for a wider frequency range than it was designed for. The devices tested are made by Excelics with the part number RFMA7185-S1. It was matched for 7.1 8.5GHz but being

a device with only 1W output it is suitable for frequencies from 6 to over 10GHz. I took a photograph using a microscope to see the internal parts of the device and I could see the internal matching network with the power combiners as shown in Fig 1. The power combiners have a bandwidth of more or less one octave, with the matching network the overall bandwidth is reduced. The RFMA7185-S1 has four internal amplifier stages, a block diagram is shown in Fig 2. The first and the second

It can be seen from the Table 1 that the device is optimised from 7 to 9GHz and in this frequency range the gain is about 30dB with an output power at least +30dBm (1W). Out of the optimised frequency band the

Fig 4: Prototype #2: even though it works we don't suggest mounting like this. This only demonstrates that the device works even in critical conditions. device is still able to provide +30dBm up to 10.4GHz even if the gain is reduced to 20/25dB. 20/25dB gain corresponds to a driver of about +7/+10dBm (5/10mW) that is ideal to be driven by a traditional low power MGF1302 GaAs-FET normally used in 10GHz transverters. During the tests I didnt detect any selfoscillations or any other strange behav- iour. I also maltreated some prototypes with mismatched input and output and

Fig 5: Prototype #6. nothing happened. The manufacturer suggests using a +6.5V power supply but the device also behaves well at +9V and it even worked at +11V but I suggest not exceeding +9V. The -5V negative bias of about 15mA must be provided on the VGG pin by a traditional ICL7660. Under these condi- tions of power supply and bias the drain current is about 1A that means the device works perfectly in a linear class, in fact the manufacturer designed them for a class A radio link using digital modula- tion. Fig 6 shows the circuit diagram and

Table 2 shows the parts list. It contains the 9V positive regulator (IC1), I used the LM217T that is the high performance version of the LM317T, the rating must be at least 1.5A. IC2 is an LM78L06 positive regulator that drives the ICL7660 negative regula- tor (IC3), because the RFMA7185-S1 needs about 15mA of negative bias and the voltage drop of the ICL7660 is about 1V with that current, we will have ex- actly -5V as negative bias. In order to avoid damage to the GaAs- FET it is necessary to sequence the power supply, first the negative bias and then the power supply. To do this we need the BC847 transistor (T1) and 4V7 Zener diode (D1) that enable IC1, if the negative bias is missing it will block the power supply. The components around the GaAs-FET are not particularly critical, I only remind you that for 1A or more current it is necessary to use a choke that has this current rating, the 17.5nH Coilcraft type B06T choke (L1) can carry 4A. 134

4.0 Assembly
As described the assembly of the power GaAsFET is not critical. It means that for a good result it is not necessary to use Teflon printed circuit board, if you keep the tracks short between connectors and pins you can use the normal FR4 epoxy fibre-glass laminate. In this case I suggest using the 30 or 31 mils thickness (0.8 mm) laminate, not the 1.6mm thickness laminate. The 50 input and output tracks can be even saved from any kind of surplus PC board, for example from my SU-02 [1] (see Fig 7). In this case you can cut a piece of the track form the PC board, obviously the PC board must be double sided copper. Other components can be SMD, or not and it is possible to mount them dead- bug. Fig 5 shows an example of very simple mounting of the RF parts.

PC board because every mounting was different but since many readers will surely want a PC board I designed one just for the power supply and bias circuits. Fig 8 shows the top of the PC board (components side). It is double sided with plated through holes for the ground connection while the bottom side is only the ground plane, Fig 9 shows the top side, component side. Please read my earlier comments for the RF PC board section. Special thanks to: F1CHF Jouan Francois and F6BVA Michel Antonioli for their work, encour- agement and technical support.

As for all microwave components it is suggested that a microwave absorber is mounted on the inner side of the top of the box in order to avoid any selfoscillations and unwanted resonances of the box. See Francos Finest Microwave Absorbers in issue 4/2004 of VHF Communications Magazine, that article explained how microwave absorbers work and the efficiency of these absorbers.

5.0 Conclusions
As explained I assembled eight different prototypes with the purpose to test differ- ent solutions and different mountings, therefore it was not possible to build the

100 MHz 2,4 GHz low cost power devices

pag D 14

Particularly interesting power FETs are available for use in the 400 MHz - 2.4 GHz band at a very affordable price. Due to the remarkable development of 1.9 GHz band base stations for cellular and other wireless infrastructure, now are available devices with a professional ceramic case at costs so far unthinkable. Here are described two devices for medium power applications up to 2.4 GHz that are currently the best compromise between money and quality. Of course you can also use them starting form 100 MHz but we believe more convenient an usage over 400 MHz frequency in fact the devices are not pre-matched and so they can work very well on broadband circuits. We think is more useful to describe the more powerful PTF10041 device, while FLU10XM can be used as a driver.

Some other tests and evaluations are currently in progress to provide a full specification and aid in building printed circuit boards. PAY ATTENTION , due to the high gain and low frequencies we suggest (like for all wide band devices) to limit gain for lower frequencies. In fact the circuit below is not the best obtainable in performances for PTF10041 at 1.3 GHz but it is very stable because it has not self-oscillations and gives a weaker amplification at lower frequencies.

POWER MODULES

pag E 2

The power modules are components suitable for RF signal amplification in order to achieve a high power level, the important feature is a moderate simultaneous wide bandwidth without any tuning which is up to 1000 MHz for the low power modules and 20 to 60 MHz for modules with higher power. It means that into this bandwidths the power module can work without any tuning due to the internal wide band matching circuits. They are precisely built to to ease the design work for radio equipments base stations, in fact to achieve a wide bandwidth and a high power is not always easy, they mainly solve the problem of tuning of power final stages because all these modules do not require any kind RF tuning.

wide band low power modules

narrow band high power modules

Thanks to a careful project, thick film technology and the use of high quality materials such as alumina substrates, high Q capacitors, coils on microstrip etc..., they have a high repeatability and reach a remarkable quality at reasonable prices. The use of power modules is made easier for the following characteristics: -- The input and the output impedance is already matched to 50 and dc block capacitors are already included, so no matching is required, the output pin can be directly connected to the antenna. -- The internal substrate with its transistor is safely secured to a small metal plate (which has to placed on a bigger heat sink) greatly easing the thermal dissipation. The implementation of these modules is very easy, just comply with 2 rules: -- Place and secure the module on a heat sink to properly dissipate heat using thermal paste too. -- Respect the most basic rules that all RF technicians know, for example, use bypass capacitors and chokes on the power supply pin, use only short leads on RF connections (input - output) and on bypass capacitors, dont cross over the RF output cable with the RF input cable, dont approach RF output cable to the input pin to avoid the risk of self oscillations, for the same reason avoid to put the output antenna too close to the module itself. No filter, RF matching circuit or tuning is necessary.

For emissions that require the use of ultralinear A Class, such as the TV in AM, the power changes depending on the number of TV channels, from about +65 dBmV per TV channel up to 44dBmV for 110 simultaneous channels (standard DIN -60dBc distortion) These modules are often used for laboratory applications, for example, to be driven by a simple RF generator, to provide a medium power, to measure EMI susceptibility or IMD, when it is required more power than that provided by our RF generator. Especially for 2-tone IMD measures, it is necessary that the 2 generators are very insulated to avoid returns and distortions of the generator itself, these broadband amplifiers typically have a reverse isolation > 35 dB. Other non laboratory applications are for example the construction of repeaters to serve small rural villages or mountain valleys that are not covered by the TV or radio service, or they are used for two-way amplifiers for radio or mobile phone services or for the distribution of radio coverage in tunnels. Another typical application is to amplify TV signals in AM, where the linearity and low intermodulation are important prerequisites. For example they can be used as the final stage to distribute the signal to switchboards or CATV. We conclude with the description of a very particular application, thanks to their high dynamic they are also very good low noise front-end amplifiers with an excellent intermodulation distortion against interfering signals associated to a noise figure of about 3.5 - 5 dB and IP3 dynamic between +40 and +46 dBm. The required power supply is 24V for all models with an absorption which ranges by module type form 200 to 400mA, being polarized in A class there is always absorption even in the absence of RF drive so the heat sink should be of appropriate size. Please note that these types of modules are less subject to damage in case of high VSWR output.

Narrow band high power modules


The narrow-band power modules provide higher power (2 to 30 W), they are often used as final in transmitters, radio base stations, and transceivers either vehicular and portable. The power supply voltage depends on the model, usually from 6 to 9.6 V for lower power models and 12V for higher power models. These modules have also very often a pin for output power control, which can be connected directly to the power supply if you are not interested in its function. Almost all models are operating in C class (FM and CW) so the absorption is very low, 1 to 50 mA without a driver, this greatly reduce the size of the heat sink in those cases where the power transmission is not continuos. Models operating in linear AB class have always a stand-by current of about 50 - 100 mA.

WIDE BAND power modules


WARNING: For "NORMAL" CW or FM applications the manufacturer rarely specifies the devices for power compression P1dB, this is the reason why we tested and characterized some modules for FM, CW, SSB etc.. applications. Below there are 2 tables of features, the first is for our tests and only for CW-FM-AM-SSB, and FM TV, the second table shows the original data from the manufacturer that are intended only for use in AM TV CATV or output levels with multi-carrier and IMD at -60dB by DIN rules

These modules provide medium-high RF power trough a discrete frequency band, they are already matched to an inout impedance of 50 . It is possible to use the control pin to obtain a variation of output power, this pin is available on almost all models, or it is possible to act on the power supply of the first stage. Unless for special types they are all suitable to amplify CW or FM or FM TV signals. The two columns of frequency indicate: the first an optimal frequency with its maximum available power and the second the frequency to use the device at a reduced power.

1300 MHz - 15W M57762 module


The M57762 module is a power amplifier in the 1220-1320 MHz band, the output power is about 18W in the middle (1240-1300 MHz), which drops to about 12-14W near limits (1220-1320 MHz). The drive power is about 0.7-1W to reach full working power. It is suitable for any type of modulation being a linear class module with a bias of +9V and 200mA. It doesnt need special matching because the input and output are already matched at 50 , as with all power modules it is better to pay particular attention on the decoupling of the 3 pins of power supply. In our example is shown with great care the way are mounted the bypass capacitors on the 3 pins of power supply that will have the leads as short as possible, as indicated in the picture it is particularly convenient to put them between the pin and the ground, using SMD components the leads are really short and the effectiveness of decoupling is very good. From our experience we can say that the success of a power amplifier circuit is very influenced by the goodness in decoupling DC power

The diagram also includes a driver circuit made of a broadband MMIC IC, MAAMSS0049 type is suitable to drive the power module when you have very small power. The gain of this driver circuit is about 14-15 dB with an output power of 700 mW that is really necessary for the proper driving of the power module.

fast home-made mounting prototype with driver circuit


Example of assembly including the driver circuit made with the MMIC MAAMSS0049 The circuits around the power module like driver and its +5V stabilizer were obtained from our Surplus product SU-02

This detail highlights the decoupling system using bypass capacitors placed between the leads of the 3 pins of power supply and the ground and adding the 17,5 H high current chokes in series with the power supply. This system of P greek filter is particularly recommended for an effective decoupling on power supply in presence of RF power, especially if there are more than one stage in the same box, to avoid self-oscillation, and RF feedbacks.

The MMIC (Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuits) are wide band integrated circuits often used as simple amplifiers, they are designed to replace the transistor and help the designer to build RF amplifiers. Loosely but realistically MMICs are the evolution of thick film ICs (in fact in this section are listed also some old thick film amplifiers). Without going into technical detail, because it is available a very big quantity of documentation, in few words we can say that the MMIC is used to simplify an amplification chain without worrying about possible self oscillations, instability, impedance mismatching or the bias, the MMIC can solve all these problems. With MMICs design is made easier, securer and more repeatable, all models are matched nearly at 50 / 75 of input impedance. MMICs are used to ease design process and improve the RF circuits repeatability, their implementation is very easy so the Ohms law only is needed to calculate the other components of the circuits. Here are explained the 3 classical circuits for power supply and decuopling. A) MMICs normally use the 4 leads configuration, input, output with power supply and two gound connections. Rarely some types have a separate power supply lead, some others have the bias lead to adjust the current. B) The decoupling capacitors are used only to block the DC power supply, the value must be a short circuit at the desired frequency. Cb bypass capacitor is used only to short circuit the RF to avoid self oscillations of the MMIC and to avoid that possible noise can enter in the MMIC, the choice of this capacitor is very important if the MMIC has a high gain or there are more than one amplification stage. C) The bias resistor has the purpose of lowering the power supply voltage from the available value to the right power supply value of the MMIC (for example from Vc 12V to Vd 5V) D) It is always suggested to use an inductance, in this case the decoupling is increased on the power supply, it can be avoided in the case that the calculated R is so high that it is enough to obtain a good decoupling (for example R > 150 / 200 ). Instead the inductance must be inserted when the power supply voltage is similar to the working voltage of the MMIC (that is if Vd = Vc), in fact in this case it is not possible to insert the bias resistor on power supply and the decoupling is made by the inductance itself. The same if the power supply resistor has a too low value (up to 80 / 100 ). E) To improve performaces of these devices, especially at higher frequencies, it is suggested to use SMD or with very short leads components in particular for all ground connections Example of calculation for the famous MAR6, assume to have 6V (Vc) of power supply, from the MAR6 specifications we see that it works with 3.5V of power supply (Vd) and a current of 16mA { Vc and Vd in V - Id in A } R calculation = (Vc - Vd) : Id ( 6-3,5 ) : 0,016 = 150 In this case being R quite high we can avoid to put the decoupling inductance. Cd examples Cb examples min freq. = 1 MHz about 47 nF 470 nF min freq. = 10 MHz about 4,7 nF 47 nF min freq. = 100 MHz about 470 pF 4.7 nF min freq. = 1 GHz about 47 pF 470 pF + 10 nF We suggest to use Cd input and output without exceding the capacity because it is better that the circuit tends to attenuate at lower frequencies. (A capacitor in series behaves as a bland high pass filter). In case the power supply voltage is very close or equal to that of MMIC (Vc = Vd) it is not possible to use a bias resistor, in this case it is mandatory to use an inductance to separate the RF between the MMIC and the power supply, examples of L values: min freq. = 1 MHz about 27 H - min freq. = 10 MHz about 2.7H min freq. = 100 MHz about 270nH - min freq. = 1 GHz about 27 nH This is the optimal circuit configuration because it is obtained the maximum possible decoupling, in fact it is summed the resistance value to the inductance reactance. The limiter resistor is useful also to permit a sort of limitation on the bias current and accordingly a higher tolerance in power supply voltage. NOTE : in case of high value inductances (> 10 H) should be considered a little residual resistance due to the wire of the inductance itself.

Given the huge variety of MMIC devices, but especially the wide variety of performances and technical specifications, we decided to group all these devices in a table of 3 pages. To facilitate the search we have divided them according to their main characteristics:
Low cost and general purpose Low noise High dynamic High output power Very flat gain High reverse insulation Variable gain Differential amplifier Low voltage power supply Other special feateures
low cost NF < 3 dB medium output power +10 / +17 dBm > 17 dBm > 50 mW it can be used on instrumentation to have flat gain on wide band high S12 , ie high reverse insulation between output and input, for example as buffer for VCOs and oscillators with pin for gain control < 3.5 V see table below

This table is used for a fast search of the device, other features will be then shown on following pages with prices and eventually a test report for MMICs considered more interesting.

DIFFERENT CASES -- Even for monolithic there are different cases with different performaces:

pag F 6

-- Standard plastic , up to microwave frequency for all standard applications, performances similar to the types with long leads. -- Ceramic, standard type (case 35, 36, RAM) is a little more expensive than plastic one but it is not prohibitive for particular applications with medium-high performances, compared to plastic case it has a better behaviour in frequency, moreover it can dissipate more power with junction temperature up to 200 C. Special versions (gold plated case 70 and beryllium 20) are used for military and HI-REL applications with more dissipation, these types have hermetic case. Some MMIC with ceramic case are available at an affordable price. -- SMD , Sot 143 similar performances to the plastic one except a little loss over 2.5 GHz .

ATTENTION PLEASE
In these pages there are several test reports and practical experiments conducted in our laboratory on various MMICs, the aim is to provide quite complete measures because data sheets are often very scarce and incomplete. In fact, the manufacturing industries are oriented only for use on mobile phones or wireless frequencies for high volume production, their data sheets frequently omit completely or partially specifications outside those frequencies. Another purpose of these tests is to give some measures on very low frequencies, about below 300 MHz, for which we have many requests from our customers and on which data sheets are even more scarce and sometimes ambiguous. Several MMIC datasheets also report the Return Loss measure, we think that it is quite important this specification (which is nothing but the device impedance matching at 50 ), this is also an empirical, but effective, test method to see if it is a good quality device. A good value for impedance matching means, for example, that when the device is before or after a filter its good matching does not change the characteristics of the filter. For the same reason, see above, it is also often reported the reverse insulation measure, this feature is very appreciated, for example, for buffering a VCO.

+ 17 dBm 500 - 2500 MHz high performances MMIC

VNA25 as a MMIC for the 500 - 2500 MHz band for small and medium power, in fact it has a variable output power between +16 and +18 dBm, lets see the advantages it offers: -- Input and output dc block capacitors are already inside the device and power supply pin is separated from output pin (differently than used in almost all the MMICs), these characteristics may seem quite trivial but they make the difference compared with similar devices, making very easy the mounting that needs only a by-pass capacitor on power supply because the bias network is already inside. -- Very wide band, 500 - 2500 MHz, with 14 - 17dB gain and +17 / +18 dBm output power, moreover the noise figure, despite the absorbed current, still keeps acceptable values making it usable as high dynamic RX post-amplifier with + 27 dBm IP3. -- Dissipation, always difficult in so small devices, is guaranteed by the ground connection of 4 pins. -- High S12 value with reverse insulation from 35 to 40 dB so it is suitable as good buffer stage. -- Due to its fair output power it can be used for wide and narrow band applications, as final or driver TX, considering that to reach the full power it needs only 2 - 3 mW.

Description Agilent's MGA-85563 is an easy-touse GaAs RFIC amplifier that offers low noise figure and high gain from 0.8 to 6 GHz. Packaged in an ultraminiature SOT-363 package, it requires half the board space of a SOT-143 package. The MGA-85563 features a minimum noise figure of 1.6 dB and associated gain of 18 dB at 1.9 GHz. The output is matched internally to 50 , and the input is partially matched, requiring only a single external inductor for optimal performance. The supply current can be adjusted using an external resistor, varying IP3 from +12 dBm to +17 dBm. The circuit uses state-of-the-art PHEMT technology with proven reliability. On-chip bias circuitry allows operation from a single +3 V supply, while resistive feedback ensures stability (K > 1) over frequency and temperature.

M.M.I.C. , Wide Band Amplifiers MAAMSS0049 high linearity 700 mW power amplifier

pag F 12

MaCom MAAMSS0049 is a broadband MMIC suitable as 250 MHz to 3 GHz power amplifier, the SOT89 case is very effective for dissipation and circuit configuration, the arrangement of the pins with ground in center and input-output pins in opposition help the simplification of the RF circuit. We tested it in our laboratory from 450 MHz to 2.5 GHz obtaining always an output power of 700 mW with gain ranging from 19 dB at 450 MHz up to 12 dB at 2500 MHz. The matching and power supply circuitry is very minimal and usually consists of two input and two output capacitors, for the power supply decoupling it is enough an appropriate chocke for the operating frequency and the power supply current.

typical circuit for an MAAMSS0049


RF choke See our application notes to adapt the circuits at the desired frequency BCQ 43 nH for freq. < 800 MHz BCQ 17.5 nH for freq. > 800 MHz

The simultaneous bandwidth (with no additional matching) is variable from 100 MHz to 400 MHz, this depends on the frequency and on the used circuit. Given the power supply current with 200 mA of bias, the circuit works in linear class so it is suitable for any type of modulation, however, a good heat dissipation is needed which can be obtained simply by making wider copper tracks on the p.c. board. Thanks also to a not excessive gain, during various laboratory tests on different frequencies, we never noticed any self-oscillation effect.

Gain and noise figure test at 1200 MHz For a quick and easy installation you can use our surplus product SU-02 to obtain a rapid test PCB and a +5V stabilizer (see application example in the "E" section power modules M57762) FINAL NOTE: in addition to use it as a power amplifier, we have also done some quick tests on noise figure at 1.2 and 1.6 GHz, the surprising thing is that this device can provide 700 mW and at the same time with the same bias of 200mA, it is able to offer a noise figure around 4 dB making it a great post-amplifier (second stage low noise) with a very high dynamic of +43 dBm OIP3.

pag F 14

MAR6 (or MSA0686) is a MMIC is in production by many years, it was born in the glorious Avantek laboratories (later HP - Agilent) and now it is manufactured by Agilent and Mini-Circuit. We all know the progress made in RF-microwave technology in recent years, therefore, if this device resists for a such long time this means that it must have good qualities. Some of these qualities were tested with the help of appropriate instruments and here are our results: -- Good noise figure: 2.5 dB at VHF , 2,8 dB at UHF , and 3 dB over 1 GHz -- Gain from 22 dB at VHF a 13 dB to 1.7 GHz, with -20dB of average reverse insulation (S12) -- Very good impedance matching, return loss 15 dB on the whole frequency band

Low noise high dynamic M.M.I.C.

pag F 15

The following products AM-1, AG-101G, AG-102 and MAALSS0034 are MMICs from the prestigious Watkins Johanson and MaCom brand for high dynamic range applications (+16 to +22 dBm), but with a very low noise (1,6 to 2,5 dBNF). The case is the consolidated SOT89 that guaratees a good dissipation even when it is used with a fair current. These MMICs implement GaAs-FET technology and they are suitable for many applications, especially as post-amplifier after very low noise stages. For example, suppose to use them after a MGA-62563 MMIC or a MAR6, you will get some more decibel of gain greatly increasing the dynamic with an output level up to +16 / +22 dBm. Another interesting application is as a driver for a broadband power module like BGD802, in fact the BGD802 to give the output power of 1 W it requires about 30 mW of input, so these MMICs are the right choice also as TX driver. The application diagram is extremely simple, just the usual dc-block capacitor and a choke for power supply are needed. In conclusion, the AM-1, AG-102, AG101G and MAALSS0034 MMICs can be used for all applications requiring good dynamic associated with a low noise, as drivers for a higher power stage but also as a buffer stage with medium gain suitable for any need.

high performances professional MMICs


These particular ICs are used in professional field, such as final stage or driver in laboratory RF signal generators, military RF-VHF front-end receivers for example Watkins - Johnson, Rohde & Schwarz, A class amplifiers, and laboratory and so on. They have better features than common MMICs, such as a low input-output VSWR, constant phase throughout the whole band with a fair group delay, P1dB, IP3 and IP2 specified and guaranteed, etc... They are typically used in wide band circuits and also where is the need of a very fast response as recovery time. Some have the two dc-block capacitors already inside which greatly facilitates their use, other models have not the capacitors inside (which have to be added externally) this is an advantage especially for use at low frequencies and / or for applications that must be customized considering that they can virtually operate starting by dc.

Franco Rota, I2FHW

Francos Finest: MGA62563 ultra low noise amplifier


1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the specification of a new MMIC from Agilent (formerly HP) that has some very interesting performance in no tune applications. The MGA62563 has an ultra low noise performance associated with a high dynamic range in no tune circuits. It is an MMIC device fabricated with the GaAs-Fet E-pHEMT process, this process is already well known from the ATF54143 which is a single GaAs-Fet with a very high dynamic range. This article will demonstrate that the performance of this no tune broad band MMIC are similar to a tuned GaAs-Fet. All the technicians know very well that the dynamic range is not compatible with low noise (or very low noise) performance. Today the market can offer a very large choice of MMICs, I carefully examined the performance of many of them but only the MGA62563 from Agilent has the following performance:

Very low Noise Figure: 0.8 - 1dB NF in the 30MHz to 2600MHz range Very good dynamic +32dBm OIP3 range:

High output power: +17.5 dBm P1dB Good input-output return loss: 10 to 20dB No tune: it needs only dc blocking capacitors and bias decoupling Power supply: single positive voltage (no negative bias) Unconditionally stable: K > 1 (no self oscillation) Ultra broadband applications

2.0 The Choice


During many years of my working experience I have always had the need to supply RF amplifiers with low noise and broadband, of course with a good dynamic range. 182

3.0 Performances Explanation


NOISE FIGURE - as you can see in Figs 1 and 2 there is the broadband and expanded low frequency band graph in order to show it at lower frequencies, the noise figure remains lower than 1dB up to 2GHz (typically 0.9dB) and 1.1dB @ 2.5GHz. The associated gain is appropriate for applications from 30MHz to 2.6GHz, see table 1. This is achieved without any special LC tuning or complicated circuits, it means that this MMIC is useful for a very big range of applications; you can use it as low noise preamplifier both for amateur and commercial applications. 184

R.F. elettronica di Rota F. www.rfmicrowave.it

As a last test I put this preamplifier in front of my spectrum analyser with an input signal of -130dBm (0.07V). As you can see in Fig 3, the small signal of - 130dBm is perfectly readable using the preamplifier. DYNAMIC RANGE with conditions of very low noise figure explained above, the device also has a high dynamic range. Table 1: Noise figure and gain of the MGA62563 at various frequencies.

is -42dB and with +15dBm output level the second harmonic is -25dB. The value measured for the output power 1dB compression point is in Table 2. N.B. average value P1dB +17.5dBm = 56mW (a little transmitter) IN-OUT RETURN LOSS Typically an ultra low noise amplifier using a GaAs-Fet has a good noise figure but has a bad input return loss, this is known very well by EME fans. The MGA62563 has an average input return loss of 10dB and output return loss better than 15dB (see Fig 6). If you put a filter (before or after) the amplifier you will not have any detuning of the filter because the return loss ismoderately low. This is also very good as a moon bounce post amplifier in order 186

to reduce self-oscillations, in fact the device is guaranteed for K > 1. In my lab I tested 3 devices all connected in cascade and I tried to obtain a selfoscillation by a mismatching but it was not possible.

4.0 No Tune Circuit


The circuit used for the above measurement is shown in the Fig 7, it is very simple and doesnt need any tuning components. The input dc blocking capacitor is not critical and I used a parallel capacitor, high Q ATC100A in order to reduce the ESR of a normal SMD capacitor for frequencies above 2GHz, this

improves the noise figure by only 0.1dB, this means that it isnt indispensable. The resistance of 1.5K. is for +5V/40mA power supply, you can adjust it if you want to improve or reduce the current, no large variations are been experienced between 30 to 50mA, so it means that the device is not critical and the performance remains stable within moderate power supply variations. The choke coil and the dc blocking output capacitor are also not critical. Table 2: 1dB compression point and output power of MGA62563 at various frequencies.

5.0 Conclusions
I believe that this MMIC will have a good future as ultra low noise preamplifier associated with high dynamic range. Considering the price, it is available around 3.00 each (a cup of coffee in UK and half a pizza in Italy) so it is affordable by anyone. Good luck to everybody from I2FHW Franco Rota, www.rfmicrowave.it.

Agilent MGA-62563 Current-Adjustable, Low Noise Amplifier


Data Sheet

Description
Agilent's MGA-62563 is an economical, easy-to-use GaAs MMIC amplifier that offers excellent linearity and low noise figure for applications from 0.1 to 3 GHz. Packaged in an miniature SOT-363 package, it requires half the board space of a SOT-143 package. One external resistor is used to set the bias current taken by the device over a wide range. This allows the designer to use the same part in several circuit positions and tailor the linearity performance (and current consumption) to suit each position. The MGA-62563 is normally operating with Id set in the 2080mA range The output of the amplifier is matched to 50 (below 2:1 VSWR) across the entire bandwidth and only requires minimum input matching. The amplifier allows a wide dynamic range by offering a 0.9 dB NF coupled with a +32.9 dBm Output IP3. The circuit uses state-of-the-art E-pHEMT technology with proven reliability. On-chip bias circuitry allows operation from a single +3 V or +5V power supply.

WARNINGS AND ADVICES FOR PRESCALER REPLACEMENTS


Very often we have request on the possibility to replace some obsolete or hard to find prescalers, this need is felt by the repairers of equipments such as instruments, measurement receivers, or other professional equipment in general, but also by those who want to make a circuit with obsolete components. For this reason we listed the following simple advices (some simple suggestions on how to behave) because a prescaler can be used as replacements but sometimes is not known. Who is in this need please read these advices before contact us, making sure that a prescaler is available and if it can replace the one you want. -- Some prescalers may result exactly the same but they can differ, for example, in power supply eg. 3.5V instead of 5 V, so a simple modification in power supply is enough. -- Other types may have some missing division factors, so the replacements is possible only if the missing factors are not used eg. MB 506 (div. 64-128-256), can be replaced by MC12032 (div. 64-65-128-129) electrically very similar but the 256 division is not usable. -- Some other prescalers unlike the case above, have only one division factor, so they can be safely replaced with a type that has more than one division factor even though it will be used only one, in this case it will be only enough to set the switching pins of the division factor on the desired division value (see SP 4633 replaced by U 893). -- Others may have lower frequency, in this case only the customer can evaluate the possible replacement. -- Some other may have the same performances and same divisions but they are not pin compatible with a differet case than the original type, in this case the changes concern the p.c. board tracks.

Temperature sensors LM 35 Temperature Sensor for precision oscillators

pag G 17

LM35 is a precise and economical analog temperature sensor, the output voltage is linearly proportional to the temperature in celsius degrees (C) giving an output of 10 mV per degree centigrade. It requires neither calibration nor a precise reference voltage, very low absorption with a very low self-heating (only 0,1 C). The power supply ranges from 4 to 30V with an intrinsic accuracy of 0.6 C. The output (at 20 C = 20 (C) x 10 (mV) = 200 mV) is easy to handle for any calculations. The advantages compared to thermocouples are: more accuracy, no aging, higher output level, no need of complicated amplifiers. In addition to trivial applications such as thermometer, protections on electronic circuits, etc..., what is really interesting in RF is the realization of sophisticated thermoregulation of OVEN oscillators, OCXO and TCXO, in fact it is possible to make precise oscillators at low cost. Another application, much more sophisticated, is compensation circuit for noise generators, where the sensor is needed to indicate the temperature change to compensate the variations of the noise diode ENR. See on Internet many available applications, the external circuitry is very low cost, we can report that in some cases the results obtained were very similar to industrial professional products. case TO-92 smd SO-8

The Max 6625 is a temperature sensor circuit with I2C serial interface, it can read a range of temperature between -55C and +125C, the conversion is made by a 9-bit ADC. It is built in miniature SOT23-6 package. This product can be considered a valid substitute of LM75 in most applications. The temperature read, converted into a digital value, is always readable via the serial interface while there is a dedicated output for OT alarm whose action threshold is programmable in the high-temperature register. The OT output can be programmed as polarity, as operational mode and as hysteresis, it can drive MOSFETs or transistors that will then drive power loads. This small device temperature sensor / thermostat is Low-Power with power supply voltage from 3 to 5V and the conversion time is 133ms.

Coaxial Connectors , a trip among tip and tricks


SERIES meaning of the acronym max. frequency Z

pag H 1

The max. frequency depends also on the cable that is assembled to the connector and on the type of connector (straight or right angle). Usually the max. limit is imposed by the first way of propagation made by the connection, by decreasing the connector diameter the frequency increases
for special applications, for example automathic tests where the the coupling cant be made by screwing the connector but only by connecting with holding clips so it keeps a very high reliability even at high frequencies it was made especially for avionics or for plug-ins within main-frames. very good low VSWR connector, it was developed in the 40s for military purposes, the limitation in frequency is due to a not secure contact of the internal pin and the ground because it has a bayonet connection system but the impedance is still good up to 10GHz with a very good Return Loss. It was born in the 40s for military systems up to 4GHz, it was the first connector able to work in microwave frequecies, it was then improved to work up to 12GHz and 18GHz for special purposes, it is a very successful connector for any kind of application, internal and external, professional and industrial, medium power etc. Pressure connection, the MCX can be confused with the SMB that is very similar, it is for internal use, The MMCX has a very good behaviour up to 8GHz It was developed by Bendix and its first name was 3mm (60s), it is surely the most successful connector for microwave, it is available in many types and versions, even up to 26GHz, it is compatible with 3.5mm and K series ( OSM = Omni Spectra ) They are similar, they are used mainly inside snap-on coupling equipments and in limited spaces threaded connection slide-on coupling, not very diffused often used in radio link IFs, now disused slightly smaller than SMA it is now seldom used (OSMA Omni Spectra-MaCom) slightly smaller than SMB first sexless connector at the beginning of the 50s. born in the 60s, seldom used they were developed in the 60s, their unique the max frequency depends on particularity lies in being sexless, so there the size arent male or female types because the it is used manly for lab and connection is not made by insertion but by the professional applications like frontal touch of the internal pins. network analyzers because it is APC = Amphenol Precision Connector highly precise it is a bigger version of the BNC series always with bayonet connection and size similar to an N, it was born for military purposes now is seldom used quite similar to an N, suitable for high voltages and enviroments with strong vibrations, it was born for military purposes now is seldom used bayonet connection, 5KV dc , for high voltages one of the best, it combines the N frequency qualities with the small size of BNC, it is refined and precise. Its a pity that it is little used and appreciated it was developed at Amphenol by C. Quackenbush in the 30s especially for use in radio frequency, maybe it was the first standard RF connector snap-on coupling, used in telecommunications, small size and low cost snap-on coupling,, used in telecommunications it is similar to the 7-16 but with smaller size, not frequently used it was born in Europe for power broadcast and outdoor applications, it was then adopted worldwide for cellular base station applications for high power with big size, now it is replaced by 7-16, for military use with low performances, it is often used on mobile equipments and antennas developed by Agilent in the 80s developed by HP in the 80s the mainly used on same developed by Wiltron in the 80s they are network analyzers compatible HP - Amphenol OS = Omni Spectra now MaCom generic name they are the same product , also called they are SMK compatible K only Wiltron also with it was developed first by HP, it is widely used instead of SMA SMA when a better performaces is needed over 18 GHz they have very big sizes from 7/8 to 6 (about 16 cm) suitable for broadcast powers often used with pressurisated cables

Standard SMA MALE connectors

pag H 2

SMA connectors for rigid, semirigid, handyform and Multiflex cables


Useful informations : these cables are often specified with the size expressed in mil (eg. UT141 = 141 mils) but also with the Military designation RG... here follows the equivalences: -- RG 405 = UT 085 2,2 mm ( or 086 depends on the approximation of mils in metric calculation ) -- RG 402 = UT 141 3,6 mm SMA male connectors for UT141 are of two types: with or without contact pin (in fact the internal conductor of ...141 family has the same size of the pin of the SMA male), this feature implies a little better return loss at high frequencies (> 15 GHz) All cables of the same size use the same SMA male connector regardless of whether the cable is rigid, semirigid or handyform, even Multiflex cables use the same connectors, eg. SMA-02B is suitable for all cables of 141 family whether they are rigid, semirigid, handyform or Multiflex Straight connectors are specified up to 18 GHz and over, while right angle connectors up to 12,4 GHz (typical up to 15 GHz)

for rigid, semirigid and handyform cables; for microwave


the central pin is made by the UT141 cable (that has the same diameter of the pin) this allows a better VSWR and the capability to be used up to 26 GHz for Amphenol gold plated

SMA FEMALE Connectors - Chassis mount

pag H 7

Starting from some years ago some SMA connectors, usually female, are available as end-launch terminal connector for pcb. An interesting and unusual application is to use them on experimental boards or on laboratory prototypes, for example, for a quick test of how a certain filter behaves, or the response of a MMIC amplifier, etc.. all this without having to build a complex circuit board. The main advantage for this particular application is that they can be lined up horizontally, greatly easing the connection of cables attached to the network analyzer. If they are properly installed they can also easily reach microwave frequency and help us in prototype making or testing. This connector is massively used by companies that provide the so called "evaluation board, or in other words the test circuit used for testing the specifications of a small component in RF. Many of our laboratory tests related to our components are made with the help of small test circuits that use these connectors. As a curiosity, there are special versions of these connectors advertized for use up to 50 GHz!

K - 2.92 mm - PC3.5 - 2.4 mm connectors ( dc - 46 GHz )


K connectors (Wiltron ) also known as 2.92 mm are the evolution of the PC3.5 mm (APC3.5 Amphenol ), while the PC3.5 is the evolution of the SMA. These three series: SMA, 3.5, and K are completely compatible. The different name (K and 2.92 mm or 3.5 PC, APC 3.5, 3.5 mm WSMA) is only in the patent license property of the different manufacturers, eg.

CONNECTOR PROTECTORS , thay are adapters between the same series, male to female, used to protect both the male and female connected to an important instrument, here are some examples: Let's say you have a reflectometric bridge up to 18 GHz with SMA female output, certainly you will regret when youll find that the wear of the connector has irreversibly damaged it, so it will not work properly anymore. The remedy is just to put a SMA male to female adapter in connection with the instrument SMA female connector to save it from the continuous usage. But in case of sophisticated and delicate measurements like return loss or the head of a bolometer, etc. it is better to invest more money in buying a good quality adapter because a standard SMA could bring some errors in measurements especially beyond a certain frequency. Only in these particular cases it would be better to use a good quality adapter to protect the measures and in particular cases you can always remove the adapter to do the measure. In the case of less important applications you can use cheaper SMA adapters, see cod. SMA-94

High Coltage coaxial connectors: BNC - MHV - SHV series

pag H 19

For high voltage connections sometimes are used special BNC connectors assembled with RG 59 cable or even better the MHV or SHV series, similar to BNC, but not compatible. The MHV and SHV series are suitable up to 5 KV and developed for high voltage, they can be distinguished easily because the teflon insulation come out from the ground. The SHV series is not compatible with BNC and MHV series.

The C series connectors, from the name or their inventor Colcelman (Amphenol), are used for RF applications up to 11GHz, and very often also for industrial applications such as electro-medical, but also for high voltage applications due to of their excellent insulation even beyond 3 KVac. From the dimensional point of view they are similar to the N series but they have bayonet connection like the BNC. they are mechanically very robust but not suitable for outdoor use. picture

TNC series coaxial connectors

pag H 20

The TNC connector is often considered as a BNC to which was added a ring for the screw, this is wrong because the TNC had a refined and more accurate project than BNC, in fact it is used up to 11 GHz and special versions can reach up to 18 GHz. The coupling is similar to the N series that is screwed (not as a bayonet like BNC), the performaces too are quite similar to N connector, while the size is comparable to the BNC. For its mechanical reliability TNC is often used in critical and delicate applications like military equipment, explosion proof, space and also F1 racing, they maintain RF characteristics almost similar to the N connector with smaller size and weight.

Quick connect connectors

pag H 21

In RF connectors, after insertion of the male, we proceed to tighten the nut to keep the coupling safe and reliable, for example, for N and SMA we turn the external nut, but also for BNC we do a 90 turn by bayonet coupling. There are applications where this is not possible, for example in avionics or intrumentation fields where plug-ins boards slide within mechanical guides of the main-frame and connect to the connector at the bottom, or in the tests where everything depends on the work of a robot for the operation of connection, product testing and acceptance. For all these applications and more the industry has developed two series of high performance RF connectors certified for MIL specifications up to 22 GHz, the blind mate BMA series and small blind mate SBMA (respectively branded by MaCom OSP and OSSP), the RF coupling is guaranteed by a spring clamp and by a high quality mechanics, it is also ensured a good functioning within a limited axial offset. It 'also available a N male connector without the coupling nut ,in fact the outside provides an excellent ground contact and allows small axial offsets, it is suitable for applications up to 3GHz. The same thing for the BNC where it is available a BNC female to BNC male adapter often used for insertion of plugin boards within slots that do not have the opportunity to rotate the bayonet (used in devices such as Mobile Radio where brackets are already installed on the vehicle).

SMC series coaxial connectors

pag H 23

The miniature SMC connectors are used for internal connections in RF equipments with good performances up to microwave frequencies. SMB and SMC are similar and can be easily confused, SMB type has a snap-on coupling while SMC type is provided with a coupling nut like SMA. The SMC connector can be used up to 6 - 8 GHz and it is a good compromise between the SMA, from which has copied the screw coupling, and the SMB, from which has copied the small size.

PCB Ferules or end-launch

pag H 24

The end-launch is used to connect a RF cable directly on pcb saving 2 connectors, it is used up to microwave frequencies with good performances. Some of our customers have put a very interesting question: up to what frequency is possible to use them? The manufacturers in fact are very vague in giving technical specifications and to answer these questions we have done some tests in our laboratory, here the results. They are still good even up to 10 GHz if assembled with semi-rigid cables, for a better impedance matching it is important to do a very good ground connection that must be abundant and well distributed on the p.c. board. The insertion loss are more or less similar to a double connection (for example pcb female plus cable male). In conclusion, it is possible to use them without any problem to the low microwave frequencies considering that the economic advantage is not negligible.

MCX miniature connectors

pag H 25

These connectors are used in conditions of reduced space for applications typically up to 6 GHz, security and repeatability are guaranteed by a good snap-on contact. Due to their small size they were initially developed for mobile phones and finding then applications also for the industrial and professional sector, instrumentation, radio links, security (spy microphones) etc... Very often they are used in right angle configuration both for pcb and cable to exalt the characteristic of a small size, in this case the benefit of a small size is further in evidence, MCX is a 50 connector. For their similarity in name and dimensions with MMCX (more reduced size) it is better to pay particular attention to not confusing them, for this purpose we inserted a picture of MCX connector with all the main dimensions enough to avoid confusion. IMPORTANT, due to the fact that is very hard to assemble this connector for the small size, we prepared some cable assemblies that you can see on the next page.

COAXIAL CABLES , for RF - WAVE - VARIOUS

pag J 1

Here follows some informations useful to understand the basic concepts about coaxial cables, with the tricks of the trade and curious informations that are rare to find on school books and manufacturers catalogs.

Introduction to coaxial cables


Perhaps none of us have never thought that the development of radio communications would never have been possible without the invention of coaxial cable, it is continuously used in our applications that we dont think about that. The attribution of the invention of coaxial cable is complex and contrasted, there are several American and European patents already near the end of 800 (the first patent is in 1880 by O. Heaviside UK) the discovery is then fell into obscurity for many years because surely there was nothing to make pass in a coaxial cable !! The real discovery and its actual use dates back to 1929 due to the need for a more efficient and with less interferences conductor for the transmissions of many telephone channels on a single "carrier". In the early 30s, this technique was also advantageously used for the first experiments with the emerging television and so on until today. The drawing below shows all the transmission lines used in RF, from KHz to GHz, the coaxial cable line is the most used and most cost-effective, it can be used by up to 110 GHz with the current technology.

transmission lines used for RF

To better understand the characteristics of a coaxial cable it is also necessary to know all the parameters associated with it, for reasons of space we will cover just some of the most important that are:

Impedance - Attenuation - Cut-off frequency and optimal frequency Max handling power - Return Loss - Propagation velocity IMPEDANCE
The impedance of a coaxial line (over about 1 MHz) depends only on the type of dielectric used, or by the dielectric constant r, and the ratio between the diameter of the inner conductor and the inner diameter of the outer screen (not the size) and it is independent of the length and frequency. But why are there 50 and 75 cables? From the graph at side we can see clearly that the lowest attenuation is achieved at about 75-77 of impedance and the maximum power handling at around 30 (with cables of same size). The U.S. Navy during World War II decided to take the value of 52 as a compromise between attenuation and maximum power (then rounded to 50 ). With the birth of television, it was decided instead to adopt the value of 75 because it ensured the minimum attenuation, because in air TV reception there is no power along the cables. Given the primordial TV receivers systems, VHF at fist an than UHF, and the high attenuation, it was definitely the right choice.

The standardization to 50 was a decisive step because already in Europe in the early post war, Germany took the value of 60 thinking it was the right choice because it is a half way between 50 and 75. The standardization to 50 was very important, as at each side of the cable it has to plug something, or rather a lot of "things" that have to be standardized to 50 too. In addition to the 50 and 75 cables there are also some strange and particular values, lets see what they are: - 12.5 and 25 cables: for transformer and matching of power stages, eg. FET push-pull and / or broadband. - 35 cables: for the production of hybrid couplers, it is used also to match impedance at / 4 between 50 and 25 (25 is the result of two 50 in parallel). - 70 cables: to build Wilkinson combiners. Formula for calculating These cables are usually available in rigid or handy-form semi-rigid configuration the impedance in order to obtain the best performance being used in particularly critical or high power 138 D stages. Z= log

ATTENUATION
The attenuation, after the impedance, is the most important discriminating in the choice of a coaxial cable, it is linearly proportional to the length of the cable in fact it is measured in dB / meter. The attenuation depends on the goodness of

dielectric, on the physical size and on the skin effect of the conductors, so it is intuitive that the lowest attenuation occurs with large cables and with air dielectric. The air dielectric is very complicated to implement and it is generally used only for TV or radio broadcast where the power is impressive, moreover these cables require vacuum pumps to prevent contamination by external agents of the air dielectric (moisture and condensation). A very cheap way to reduce loss consists of injecting an inert gas (nitrogen) in the dielectric to obtain a dielectric constant as close as air, this is often done with foam cables but also with teflon ones. The addition of gas contribute also for a more long-term stability of the cable parameters even under critical conditions like moisture and temperature changes. The choice of dielectric is important to have less losses in the cable, in fact with teflon dielectric the insertion loss is less than with the classic polyethylene, but the true breakthrough in terms of attenuation is achieved only with expanded dielectric, whether it is foam or teflon. The attenuation for skin effect of the conductor is equal to the square root of frequency and with a silver plated conductor it is slightly improved the attenuation. As a general rule skin effect loss dominates from low to mid frequencies and dielectric loss dominates at high frequencies. The propagation characteristics of surface due to skin effect is used in some cables as an economic advantage because it is possible to use poorer or cheaper conductor, with coatings such as copper or silver, thats because low attenuation cables have a tubolar copper or solid copper plated aluminium internal conductor. SKIN EFFECT by rising in frequency the resistance of the cable increases because the current flows only on the outer part (the outer DC audio (1 KHz) 1 MHz 1 GHz conductor) and only on the inside skin effect at different frequencies (regarding the shield) Obviously, increasing the size of the coaxial cable there is less attenuation up to the cut-off frequency. The outer shield too increase the attenuation but its contribution is always smaller than the other two factors. In fact, a little-known aspect to consider is the layer of outer conductor that acts as a shield, if this is too small there is greater attenuation caused by the loss of signal due to radiation, that is for a not good shielding of the cable (see RG 58). A small contribution to the increase of losses is also due to using an inner conductor composed of many wires, if this technique improves the flexibility of the cable, however, it introduces a very small increase in losses of around 5%.

CUT-OFF FREQUENCY - MAX OPTIMAL FREQUENCY


The cut-off frequency of a coaxial cable is not to be confused with the maximum frequency where it is "convenient" to use a particular cable. A given cable makes sense to be used up to a certain frequency (sometimes recommended by the manufacturer and referred as "operating frequency") simply because up to that frequency parameters are quite suitable for its use, at same frequency the same cable cant be used for different applications. For example in microwave radio links wirings, even at 20 GHz, are used handy-form cables 10 to 30 cm long for internal interconnections, it will not be possible to use the same cable for antenna connection, 10 or 20 m at the same frequency, since for such long distances the attenuation would be too high, these cables are not suitable for outdoor use. When choosing a cable is often not considered the factor of insulation that depends on the shielding of the outer conductor, for example in a wiring inside of a VHF or UHF radio link is not acceptable to use a single shield cable, with the risk of RF coupling between Tx and Rx undermining the goodness of a good duplexer filter with 80 dB of insulation between Tx and Rx, in fact, the coupling between two RG58 cables that pass parallel for 3 or 4 cm have an insulation of only 70-75 dB. So in the choice of a cable must be considered about ten different factors, many of which are in conflict with each other. The cut-off frequency represents instead the maximum absolute frequency of use, and over of that there are various resonances that change the phase and amplitude in the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the cable itself. The propagation in a coaxial cable is defined as TEM (Transversal Electric and Magnetic Field), the electric and magnetic field lines are perpendicular to the cable. Beyond the cut-off frequency strange resonances appear in the propagation and they produce phenomena not easily foreseeable. The cut-off frequency is inversely proportional to the size of the cable, it is actually a much higher value of the maximum optimal frequency except for the semi-rigid cables since due to their design and very good quality they can be used up to their cut-off frequency. For very high frequencies it is better to use small diameter cables considering also the attenuation.

COAXIAL CABLES , for RF - WAVE - VARIOUS MAX HANDLING POWER

pag J 3

For very high power applications, as mentioned above, are used cables with air dielectric, the central conductor is held in the center by a sort of coil that runs along the length of the cable. For medium-high power applications are used cables with teflon dielectric, which can work up to 165 C, at the same size Teflon insulation allows to handle up to the triple of maximum power than polyethylene cable. Increasing frequency the maximum handling power decreases, both due to dielectric and skin effect losses moreover losses increase a lot the temperature of the cable. For even higher temperature applications it is available a special cable with fiberglass jacket (RG115) that can work up to 200 C with a diameter of only 10.4 mm, it can hold up to 6 KW at 100 MHz and the same jacket allows the installation near heat sources.

RETURN LOSS
The return loss of a coaxial cable, ie the impedance matching, is almost never considered in the selection, because manufacturers rarely provide this information. In fact when you assemble a coaxial cable with a connector is then very difficult to understand if the impedance matching depends on the cable, on the connector or on the quality of the assemby. However we can give an advice due to our experiences of thousands of tests made on coaxial cables, we can say that all double shield coaxial cables behave, in terms of return loss, much better than similar single shield cables (RG223 against RG58, RG214 against RG213, 2 shields RG316 against RG316, etc.. see table above). For example, using the same SMA connector and the same care in assenbling, the double shields RG316 can be used beyond 6 GHz with a typical return loss of 20 dB, while a standard RG316 cable would give similar return loss results at about 2-3 GHz. Remember that a good impedance matching is not only important to have low loss but also to avoid altering the device impedance of a connected device. For example, if you connect a good bandpass filter, well calibrated by a network analyzer, to a mismatched cable you will get an increase of ripple in the filter and other not forseeable effects depending on the mismatch and the phase. To make an example we can say that a cable for wiring and general use is considered good with a return loss value up to 20dB, at microwave frequencies up to 16dB, for lab or testing cables there are differnt values (see below).

PROPAGATION VELOCITY -

r - DIELECTRIC CONSTANT

Depending on the dielectric and so on its r, the propagation velocity of a cable decreases according to a number that indicates the percentage of speed compared to air, such as in common polyethylene cables (RG 58, 213, etc.) the speed factor is equal to 66%, in this cable the wavelength is shortened by 34% compared to air. The speed factor is used to calculate impedance matching stub or the real wavelength in the cable. For example a cable /4 long, as impedance adapter, at a frequency of 100 MHz, the length for a cable type RG 213 can be calculated as follow: AIR at 100 MHz = 300 : 100 = 3m -> /4AIR = 3m : 4 = 75cm -> for RG 213 V=66% /4CABLE = 75 x 0,66 = 49,5cm The r value, as seen above, is one of the two factors that determines the characteristic impedance of the cable, in general terms the more it is high (and therefore is near to air), the less is the attenuation.

TEST AND LAB CABLES


Regarding the laboratory and testing cables of course are valid all the considerations made so far although other factors can be involved in the selection, in our opinion low return loss and phase-amplitude stability vs. flexure are very important factors, that's why the test cables are so expensive and difficult to assemble. These high quality cables are made with low density teflon dielectric (microporous cables) in order to obtain a low loss and high flexibility, they have a double or triple shield and special machines are used to assemble them, they are then subjected to thermal cycles to highlight imperfections or other defects. In these laboratory cables is very important to over strengthen the connection between the connector and cable to increase last in time, in fact, if it is difficult to break a cable along its length it is much easier that this happen at the point of transition from the connector to the cable. With Multiflex141 cables by Suhner it is possible to achive a fair compromise between performances and price, even if we asseble them by ourselves with SMA connectors it is easy to obtain a good result up to 15/18 GHz, with the exception of phase stability vs. flexure that is a prerogative only of much more expensive cables made by famous brands. As an indication a good test cable must have a maximum return loss of 25 dB which can reach 22-20 dB at microwave frequencies but only at the limit of its maximum frequency of use, a so low value of return loss is required to obtain very reliable measures. The goodness of a test cable is easily verified by taking several bends on the cable connected to a network analyzer, the variations in amplitude and phase must be very small. Often in the code of a coaxial cable there is a prefix unknown to many people, RG stands for Radio Guide, the US Military specifications provide the coaxial cables standardization, although no longer in use it is still a standard to describe many coaxial cables and still widely adopted. Now there is the Mil-C17, substituted by Mil-DTL-17.

COAXIAL CABLES , for RF - WAVE - VARIOUS


For our convenience and for obvious technical reasons, we divided coaxial cables in five categories:

pag J 4

-- A ) rigid, semirigid, hand-formable coaxial cables, eg. UT 085 , SM141 , Multiflex etc... -- B ) flexible coaxial cables with teflon dielectric, eg. RG 316 , RG 142 , RG 179 etc... -- C ) flexible coaxial cables with polyetylene dielectric, eg. RG58 etc... -- D ) coaxial cables with foam dielectric, eg. Cellflex series, RT5020 etc... -- E ) super-flexible coaxial cables for laboratory purposes, eg. Sucoflex series etc...
Each of these categories has its own advantages and limitations which are the basis of choice for a particular purpose. On the catalogue they are further divided into not assembled cables (sold by meter) or already assembled. For our choice of business but also for our attitude will be particularly present in the catalog, with great choice, all types of cables with teflon dielectric.

some examples

D) foam cables
-- they are the cables with the lowest loss but also with less flexibility and not suitable for lab or professional usage -- if braid shielded they are quite flexible -- corrugated types are suitable only for antenna connection with very low insertion loss -- usable up to 3 GHz , max 6 GHz

Microwave cables

pag J 5

Microwave coaxial cables are available in many different types but their only true difference is the external conductor that causes the possibility or not to be hand-formable , while electrical performances are quite the same at the same diameter , less attenuation is possible by increasing the diameter . All cables in these pages are teflon insulated . TIP : the number in the code UT047 , UT086 , UT141 etc. indicates the measure of diameter expressed in mils of inch .

Microwave cables
rigid, semi-rigid, hand-formable, flexible

normal semirigid
external natural copper or tin plated or silver plated, they are the traditional semirigid cables for microwave frequencies

hand-formable
external tin plated copper braid for outer conductor gives to the cables a good hand-formability -----------------------------------------------

non magnetic
it is a special version of handformable types for special medical applications and RF applications at low intermodulation like digital transmission or GSM , DECT etc...

flexible Multiflex 086 - 141


they are similar to the normal flexible coaxial cables but for applications over 18GHz too, the same connectors for the semirigid can be used with Multiflex cables

aluminium hand-formable
external aluminium is little more rigid than the normal hand-formable but more resistant, the weight is 30% less

25 and 12.5 hand-formable microwave cable (very good for push-pull amplifiers)
The fast evolution of power active devices (Fet, LD-Mos, V-Mos etc... now up to 1000W output power for a single device) with growing available power, made necessary that even passive components should be adapted to the new specifications. A classic example is the continuous development of high Q low ESR porcelain capacitos (see ATC capacitors). We introduce now two 25 and one 12.5 semirigid hand-formable coaxial cables, they are suitable for the matching of push-pull amplifiers and for RF power transformers, in fact these cables are specified for high power even if they have a diameter of only 3,6 mm and a good hand-formability. These cables havent any iron or nichel elements so they have good intermodulation distortion necessary for modern digital modulations. This cables are supplied by meter.

Multiflex 086 , microwave cable

pag J 13

The 50 Suhner Multiflex86 cable is a good compromise when you have the need of good performances with high flexibility for microwave. Performances such as attenuation, shielding and power are identical to the UT086 rigid cable used for wirings. It 's like to have the benefits of a rigid cable but with the same flexibility of a common coaxial cable, another advantage is that you can use standard connectors for semi-rigid cables because sizes are compatible.

High performance Suhner MULTIFLEX 141 cable

Suhner Multiflex 141 cable has the same dimensions and the same electrical characteristics of the 141 semirigid but with a greater flexibility, it is therefore a valid alternative to the various semi-rigid and hand formable cables that can also be used for laboratory purposes. The attenuation and the return loss values define this cable as a half way between the RG142 (see chart) and the most sophisticated professional measurement cables (such as Gore, Sucoflex etc.). Compared to professional laboratory cables it has the great advantage of using the same connectors of 141 semirigid cables so easy to find like N and SMA connectors, so you can refer to the types suitable for semi-rigid 141. 50 2 up to 33 GHz 95 pF / m 71 % 4.7 nS / m 1.9 KV dc 90 dB @ 18 GHz -65 / + 165 C 40 mm 500 W @ 500 MHz Max power 220 W @ 3 GHz 120W @ 10 GHz SMA and N for UT141 semirigid or Connectors type hand formable series APPLICATIONS -- It is a flexible alternative to various semi-rigid and hand formable cables with same specifications. -- For wirings up to over 20 GHz -- For laboratory applications with good quality up to 15 GHz and fair quality up to 18 GHz. -- Low attenuation (second only to the most expensive microporous test cables) . -- It can also be used under severe environmental conditions, ie high temperature, lubricating oils, chemicals, moisture, crushing, etc... -- High shielding applications, for example EMI measurements and anechoic chambers.

Teflon flexible cable assemblies pag J 16 For lab application up to 2.5 GHz -- For general purpose up to 6 GHz
These cables are suitable for laboratory use up to 2.5 GHz and for any other application of RF cabling up to 6 GHz. The restriction to 2.5 GHz for laboratory use is due to the Return Loss value that a cable must have for these applications, typically 25 dB. A so good return loss value is necessary because the test cable should modify as little as possible the measurement. Regarding the applications for wirings the restriction to 6 GHz is determined both by the reasonable limit of insertion loss and by the value of Return Loss, about 20dB at 6 GHz. These cable assemblies are made with 3 mm diameter Suhner low return loss cable, with teflon insulation and double shield in order to ensure a good shielding of 80 dB even at 6 GHz, both the internal conductor and the double shielding are entirely silver plated. At the moment a variety of these cable assemblies are available and ready in stock with length range from 20 cm to 3 m and with gold plated SMA male connectors. Depending on future requests our intention is to expand the choice with other types of connectors.

POLYETHYLENE RF CABLES

pag J 20

Double silver plated shield RG 223 cable


RG223 is a general purpose low cost RF coaxial cable, the cable is entirely silver pated and double-shielded, it is recommended for wirings on VHF and UHF and above, radio links and for RF applications up to 3 GHz, for laboratory use up to about 1.5 GHz it still maintains good characteristics. Compared to standard RG58 it has better performance especially in terms of return loss, shielding and reliability with a slightly better attenuation.

low loss FOAM RF CABLES


To have low loss coaxial cables it is possible to act in 3 ways: 1 ) Increase the diameter of the cable (increase the size of cable) 3 ) Improve the skin effect of conductors (decrease the attenuation due to conductor) 2 ) Increase the percentage of air in the dielectric (improve the quality of the dielectric)

pag J 21

-- Increase the size of the cable has a practical limit beyond which, cost, weight, handling etc... become unsustainable, by further increasing the diameter there is a reduction of the cutoff frequency. -- The skin effect is optimized to the maximum by using silver plated conductors. -- Increase the amount of air into the dielectric is the only way forward. Years ago the problem was solved in TV antenna connection using as dielectric the cheap foam, in fact, these cables are still considered with the lowest loss. The trick is to use a cheap dielectric and easily made by adding a high concentration of air (inert gas) , obviously the scarce specifications necessary for the consumer TV field does not make them suitable for industrial uses. For the industrial purpose are available foam corrugated cables (eg. Cellflex cables) and foam not corrugated cables like RT5020 , H1000 , LMR400 etc..., These cables are suitable for industrial applications at a reasonable cost.

Special cables for lab. applications

pag J 22

Special cables , for lab or microwave frequencies


The following flexible cables, assembed or not, are low loss special types for microwave measurements. What makes them different from other teflon cables is the MICROPOROUS teflon (except Multiflex types) ie mixed with air so as to ensure maximum flexibility with low loss, because the only teflon insulation is not enough for low attenuation but the presence of a large percentage of air (inert gas) gives the insulator a low attenuation and greater flexibility than the full teflon. Always with the aim of giving them a high reliability in these measures at microwave frequencies these cables have a double shield, of course, both internal conductor and the two shields are silver plated. Multiflex 141 and 86 types are cheaper versions, compared to other higher performance cables, they have no guarantee on constant phase during bending, see more descriptions on the following pages about Multiflex141 and 86.

Suhner Multiflex 141 cable has the same dimensions and the same electrical characteristics of the 141 semirigid but with a greater flexibility, it is therefore a valid alternative to the various semi-rigid and hand formable cables that can also be used for laboratory purposes. The attenuation and the return loss values define this cable as a half way between the RG142 (see chart) and the most sophisticated professional measurement cables (such as Gore, Sucoflex etc.). Compared to professional laboratory cables it has the great advantage of using the same connectors of 141 semirigid cables so easy to find like N and SMA connectors, so you can refer to the types suitable for semi-rigid 141. 50 2 up to 33 GHz 95 pF / m 71 % 4.7 nS / m 1.9 KV dc 90 dB @ 18 GHz -65 / + 165 C 40 mm 500 W @ 500 MHz Max power 220 W @ 3 GHz 120W @ 10 GHz SMA and N for UT141 semirigid Connectors type hand formable series APPLICATIONS -- It is a flexible alternative to various semi-rigid and hand formable cables with same specifications. -- For wirings up to over 20 GHz -- For laboratory applications with good quality up to 15 GHz and fair quality up to 18 GHz. -- Low attenuation (second only to the most expensive microporous test cables) . -- It can also be used under severe environmental conditions, ie high temperature, lubricating oils, chemicals, moisture, crushing, etc... -- High shielding applications, for example EMI measurements and anechoic chambers.

Multiflex 086 , microwave cable

pag J 24

The 50 Suhner Multiflex86 cable is a good compromise when you have the need of good performances with high flexibility for microwave. Performances such as attenuation, shielding and power are identical to the UT086 rigid cable used for wirings. It 's like to have the benefits of a rigid cable but with the same flexibility of a common coaxial cable, another advantage is that you can use standard connectors for semi-rigid cables because sizes are compatible.

pag J 26

Enameled copper wire


Enamelled copper wire is suitable for the construction of RF coils and transformers. The windings can be made either on variable coil supports as our kit SBK... and on toroids, binoculars, beads and ferrite rods, the enamel is resistant to about 155 C (class F) so it can be dissolved by a medium heat welder. The smaller diameters (0.2 - 0.25 - 0.3 - 0.4 mm) are available in three different colors: red, green and natural orange, this is useful to easily make two-wire or three-wire windings, but also for other special applications, such as a different color for coils that would be similar then you could easily confuse them, and so on. The diameters from 0.5 to 1 mm are only available in natural orange only. All types are supplied on a reel, the quantity on every reel was chosen in order to provide a kit with a good selection but at a low cost, for the smaller diameters up to 0.5 mm the size of the reel is 29 x 14 mm, from 0.63 to 0.7 - 0.8 mm the size of the reel is 25 x 23 mm while only for diameter of 1 mm the size of the reel is 32 x 30 mm.

GIGATRIMMER variable capacitors

pag K 4

The concept of air coaxial giga trimmer is not new, even Philips in the 60's built very good variable coaxial capacitors used in the first hybrid RX/TX mobile stations ( transistors and vacuum tubes in the TX final stage ) for professional version and consumer version for TV tuners. Gigatrimmers are used in RF in particulary critical situations, for example in crystal high stability oscillators tuning, on filters or high Q resonant circuits or even for quite high powers, the main features are: -- A high Q given by air dielectric and by the particular mechanical design that reduces parasitic parameters. -- A insulation voltage between 250 and 500 work voltage and better thermal stability (almost all are NPO). -- High RF power especially for 500 work voltage ultra-miniature sapphire types. -- High self-resonant frequency, between 1 and 12 GHz (depends on type and capacity). -- Slow regulation due to a multi turn variation and so better repeatability in tuning.

gigatrimmer type CVG-N1

air gigatrimmer

applications
suitable for pcb mount, a double ground pin guarantees a perfect connection with half series inductance. It is provided with anti-dust cap.

mobile part ( rotor )


by rotating the rotor it enters in the stator changing the capacity, the concentric circles are needed to reach the desired capacity.

mechanical precision
it is achived with particular process and small size tolerances. The mechanical hardiness is guaranted by a porcelain ceramic body that supports the rotor and the stator.

Silver mica capacitors

pag K 9
In HF and VHF mica is an almost perfect dielectric and it has many advantages. Mica capacitors are used in filters, resonant circuits, medium/high power stages, for up to VHF frequencies or pulse applications due to their stability and low loss. In medical and military fields they are a quality and reliability standard, they have an exceptional thermal stability, low moisture absorption, a very low aging guarantee operation even at extreme temperatures, in fact, mica has an excellent chemical stability and high dielectric strength. Mica is widely known for its characteristics of good electric insultator with a very good dissipation factor ( low loss ) so a good Q. They are st nd available both in vertical (1 part) and horizontal (2 part) configuration. They are also available as variable capacitors compression type (see variable capacitors).

CHIP Capacitors , various types

pag K 15

SMD trapezoidal or disc ceramic capacitors are very usefull in RF, a capacitor without leads has a low inductance series. For example a chip capacitor can reach a 2-3 times higher frequency than a standard capacitor with leads, in fact RF circuits with SMD components reach very good performances in RF frequencies.

High Q porcelain capacitors

pag K 18

The history of high Q porcelain capacitors has followed the evolution of solid-state technology. There is a trace in the late 60's with the first projects of Motorola and RCA regarding UHF transistor power amplifiers, in fact for the HF and VHF bands they are already used types "mica Unelco" but they gave no satisfactory results in UHF. In the presence of high-power tubes (valves) the involved impedances were moderate - high, so it was worked with high voltages and low currents. With the power transistors there is low or very low impedances on the base and collector, in such applications matching and tuning circuits, have to transform the impedances from very low to 50 , it means to work with high current and low voltage. With this new type of design was necessary to have a low ESR capacitors (Equivalent Series Resistance), this is indeed the main parameter to consider the entire evolution of high-Q capacitors. The loss in a capacitor is indicated by its tan , or dissipation factor. The ESR shows the equivalent resistance in series to the capacitor, which dissipates power as heat and introduces attenuation.

comparison table of 3 different types of caramic capacitors, 30 pF @ 300 MHz


Specification DF ( tan ) Q ( 1 / DF) ESR ( Xc / Q ) dissipated @ 1 A RF current power @ 3 A RF current non adequate capacitor 0,028 35 0.5 0.5 W 4.5 W 0805 capacitor SMD ( COG class 1 ) 0,008 118 0.15 0.15 W 1.35 W high Q porcelain capacitor 0.0028 350 0.05 0.05 W 0.45 W

This table clearly shows the behavior of 3 different types of capacitors in presence of medium power (1A) and high power (3 A), it is strongly suggested to avoid a dissipation power of only 1 W in a capacitor. The ESR acts as a double effect, first because it dissipates power and introduces attenuation, second because the power dissipation is a cause itself of self-heating and so of a further deterioration in terms of electrical characteristics that decrease the life of the capacitor.

SRF improvement in ATC100 capacitors , case A or B


ATC 100 capacitors are usually mounted with the electrodes parallel to the plane ( printed circuit board ), the label corresponding to the capacitor value is parallel to the printed circuit board . We tested with the network analyzer the SRF of a 62 pF case B capacitor parallel oriented . For this capacitor's value is guaranteed an SRF > 900 MHz , in fact the network analyzer shows an SRF of 1550 MHz . The picture below shows the improvement of SRF with vertical orientation at 2.7 GHz. The same with 4.7 pF case A , for this capacitor's value is guaranteed an SRF > 4 GHz , in fact the network analyzer shows an SRF of 7.6 GHz . The picture below shows the improvement of SRF with vertical orientation at 12.3 GHz. These two tests demonstrate how it is possible to improve the self resonant frequency in multilayer capacitors, we suggest this improvent only for ultra wide band applications , where you have capacitors with the SRF into the frequency range of the application . For narrow band applications this improvement is not necessary . The SRF effect is due to very complex mechanisms related to the phase differences of the varios electrodes in multilayer capacitors.

62pF case B

4.7pF case A

The multilayer structure provides a very low inductance series and ESR resistance series and a considerable RF current because the result is like a parallel of many capacitors. They are built with high-purity ceramic (porcelain), they have a remarkable thermal stability even under extreme environmental conditions even with temperature and humidity variations. ATC capacitors are even used in low noise front ends from VHF to microwave used togheter with low noise GaAs-FET you can reach outstanding performances.

In conclusion ATC capacitors are at the top of performances

Capacitors for Ultra-Wide Band up to 40 GHz


The capacitors shown below are used for broadband or ultra broadband applications, for their particular building they have not the problem of self resonance (SRF). Please note that the capacitors should not be considered to be high Q (high Q means low resistance series ESR) as ATC100 models but to use as a signal dc-block, let see some of their typical applications: - ultra broadband DC-block and bias T, for example for the construction of dc-block for spectrum analyzers. - DC-block for noise generators, with the CCB-1N capacitors for the version with our diode NS303 up to 10 GHz. - DC block capacitors for decoupling input and output for broadband amplifiers, up to 10 GHz for 1000 pF capacitor CCB-1N and up to 40 GHz for the 100 nF capacitor BAC-100N. For the 1000 pF capacitor the graph shows the test on 2 different types and the parallel connection of 2 capacitors.

These high Q capacitors are a cross between the class 1 SMD COG (NP0) capacitors for high frequency and the ATC porcelain capacitors, thanks to ceramic they obtained very interesting performances to use approximately up to 3-5 GHz. As the ATC porcelain series also these capacitors have a very low ESR so they can handle medium powers. They are used in sensitive applications such as for medium power amplifiers, VCO, RF matching circuits, DC blocks and low noise applications. cap pF 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.68 0.7 0.8 1.2 1.5 2.2 2.7 3.3 3.9 4.7 5.6 10 12 18 22 22 27 39 47 68 82 description case voltage

PASS-THROUGH CAPACITORS

pag K 23

The pass-through capacitors or by-pass capacitors as well as EMI filters, are used for the passage of power supply through a chassis or metal can (boxes) in order to filter out any RF noise that may cause problems if it arrives to the electronic circuit. They are also useful to not radiate RF signals outside the box that could cause interference with other external circuits. These pass-through capacitors should not be confused with the RF pass-through zero capacity. mm hole to fit the pass-through capacitor cap pF V - A 2 various various

Interference attenuation diagram for some EMI Filters

We tested in our laboratory the real attenuation of some EMI filters from 9 KHz to 1 GHz, as it is clearly seen from the diagram the attenuation is remarkable. What distinguishes them from ordinary by-pass capacitors is the attenuation value that is high even at low-mid frequencies.

EMI filter for printed circuit board and bias T


This EMI filter is used to supply the DC power to RF circuits or to decouple different power lines on the same pcb. The goal is to provide power but with a strong RF decoupling between input and output. A classic example is to bring power to two cascaded amplifier, for example two MMIC, in fact if they are not well decoupled it is likely to have parasitic self-oscillations. With this EMI filter It is possible to supply together with DC also an AC audio signal at low frequency when you do not want to have RF returns on the audio band. From our lab tests the optimal bandwidth of operation is over RF frequency of 20 MHz. Another interesting application is the BIAS T. In this application of course the RF side od the EMI filter must be insulated with one choke from few nH to some H according to the lowest and highest frequency on the BIAS T. technical specifications total capacity typical 3 nF ( > 1.5 nF ) max current 10 A max. voltage 380 V ( @ +85 C ) RF attenuation from 30 to 60 dB

INTRODUCTION TO OUR VARIABLE COILS


All these coils have been tested and characterized with our instrumentation: HP 4191A 1-1.000 MHz impedance analyzer, HP 4342A 22 KHz - 70 MHz precision Q meter and Racal 9383M RLC bridge. Q value is referred to the measurement conditions (frequency and inductance values) and it is measured about at half of the inductance range. The electrical diagram has to be viewed by the pin side, it is also available the number of turns. The picture shows the complete coil and all its parts, the picture is nearly in 1:1 scale and it shows quite the real size of the coil. Coils with a parallel capacitor have also the auto-resonance value in MHz due to the internal capacitor, for these coils the maximum frequency is that stated, while the minimum frequency can be decreased by adding an external capacitor. MOLDED indicates a different way of manufacturing of these coils, they are rugged, the turns are winded on a polypropylene support more resistant either to soldering and to mechanical torque and they are often use for VHF UHF band, in molded coil the support has the purpose to keep the turns stable and separate to obtain the highest possible Q and thermal stability. The symbol indicates the coil external size while in the picture there is the pins pitch. After a long work of research of technical specifications, we believe that this can be an helpful aid in choosing a component that fits as possible different projects. The tests results have been collected directly in our lab so the specifications are often more complete than those provided by the manufacturers.

SPECIAL Inductances : high SRF , for BIAS - T , QPL and ultra-stable


These inductors for microwave have high SRF and very good QPL, they are stable in temperature so they are used for very critical functions like BIAS T or decoupling on power supply. BIAS T does not come cheap or easy to build, the aim is to supply power to an RF device like broadband MMIC, low noise amp., switch, pin or tuning varactor etc.. The difficulty is to select critical components, C and L, free from parasitic resonances within a wide frequency range (3-5 decades), technicians well know the importance of good decoupling in amplifiers and high performance active devices. One rule is to reduce the size, in fact, two of these inductors have an SRF> 15 GHz, another inductances can be inserted in order to obtain the desired value. They can be considered as a complementary component of beam-lead capacitors, the size is so small that the similarity is almost appropriate. value 11

TOROIDS for not tuned wide band circuits

pag L 22

These Amidon toroids are often used for broadband not tuned circuits, for example as transformers in Norton circuits, as component for power splitters, dividers or combiners, HF balun, for input or output matching, on HF - VHF power amplifiers, on high impedance IF filters, etc.. Moreover, for their characteristics of medium-high inductance, they are also used to build decoupling choke coils, power supply EMI filters, etc.. because they could reach high inductance values.

Skilled and unusual process for to build HF power transformer


Following the instructions below it is possible to build a very good HF power transformers without using difficult to find brass or copper pipes . This technique is suitable for almost eny toroid hole size. The instructions can be used for high or medium power RF transformers using single or binocular ferrites. In particular this method is useful for 1:4, 1:9, 1:16 etc transformers where the 1 side uses the technique show and the 4, 9, 16 etc side is made using further turns inserted into the inside of the shield .

Save from RG213, 214 etc... coaxial cable 10 cm of its shield, can be used also RG58, 59, 142 etc.. for ferrites with small holes.

Fot these 2 ferrites (see picture), even if they have a very different size holes, we used the same shield saved from RG213 because the size of the shield is not critical.

Insert the shield into the ferrite and into the shield insert any round object to prevent the shield from deforming .

Use an awl to widen the holes at the ends of the shield, to insert any further cables if needed. When finished, as you can see in the picture , insert the teflon wire into the shield for the second winding completing the transformer.

Notizie utili sui filtri per medie frequenze


-- Per analizzatori di spettro : consigliato luso di filtri a quarzo a 2 - 4 poli o ceramici ma sempre con scarso fattore di forma, filtri molto selettivi possono introdurre errori nella misura e costringono a rallentare di molto il tempo di sweep . -- UP-CONVERTER : sono disponibili vari filtri per ricevitori HF che usano il sistema Up-Converter della 1 IF , anche con larghezza di banda molto stretta 3 KHz , paragonabile alla larghezza della 2 IF , per ridurre la IMD del 2 mixer . -- Ritardo di gruppo : indica la variazione del tempo di transito di un segnale attraverso il filtro, i filtri con ritardo di gruppo costante sono particolarmente indicati per uso trasmissione dati in modo da ridurre il bit error rate . ATTENZIONE : a differenza di molti produttori di filtri si riportata la banda a -3dB ( anzich -6dB ) poich ci sembra pi reale e idoneo alle necessit mentre la banda a -6dB troppo distante dal valore di banda realmente utilizzabile Freq.

FILTRO LADDER a 9 MHz

( di Pietro Iellici )

Abbiamo il piacere di riportare un grazioso articolo a cura di un valido autocostruttore e radioamatore ( Pietro Iellici i2BUM ) riguardante la progettazione di 2 filtri a 9 MHz a banda stretta per SSB dalle ottime caratteristiche realizzati con i nostri quarzi . Questi filtri sono risultati quasi simili ad un modello commerciale di una nota Casa tedesca . Riportiamo per intero l'articolo senza alcun nostro commento e senza alcuna nostra modifica sperando possa essere di aiuto ad altri radioamatori autocostruttori . Si ringrazia vivamente il Sig Pietro Iellici .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nellautocostruzione di ricevitori SSB di alta dinamica, un componente fondamentale il filtro di media frequenza dopo la prima conversione. Avendo maturato una discreta esperienza in merito, ho potuto constatare che come caratteristiche, tra il meccanico, quarzo traliccio e quarzo ladder, questultimo da preferirsi per la minore intermodulazione e perdita di inserzione. Unico inconveniente: il piccolo gradino sul lato sinistro della curva e una leggera asimmetria della pendenza. Nella realizzazione del filtro importante la qualit dei quarzi e il loro discostamento di frequenza che non deve essere superiore a 100 Hz. Presso la RF ELETTR. SENAGO sono reperibili a basso costo i quarzi adatti. Nel mio caso ho ELENCO COMPONENTI: effettuato una selezione entro 50 Hz ma ritengo che XT1-8 = Quarzi 9 Mc (RF ELETTR.); T1-2 = 3+7 sp. 0.2 su anche senza si ottengano risultati analoghi. Lo nuclei binoculari 43-2402 ( RF ELETTR.); Cv1-2 = compens. ceram. 6/60 pF; C2-3 = 80 pF; C1-4 = 10 pF; C5-11 = 39 pF; schema prevede due varianti A e B. C6/10 = filtro A 75 pF; filtro B 95 pF; N.B. tutti i condensatori La prima per lutilizzo come roofing filter di prima mica argentata 50 V conversione , la variante B pi stretto, per la singola conversione. I 2 compensatori Cv1-2 vanno regolati per spianare la banda passante. Se non si dispone di analizzatore di spettro, impiegare un generatore di segnali e voltmetro/oscilloscopio in uscita. La prova di intermodulazione stata eseguita con 2 segnali di ingresso 9020 Kc e 9040 Kc a 0 dBm con uscita a 9000 Kc. Notare la frequenza centrale che si riduce a 8999.59 Kc per A e 8999.06 per B. Come si vede dalla foto, il filtro contenuto in uno scatolino ottenuto da lastrine di vetronite doppio rame sp 1.6 mm saldate in corrispondenza degli spigoli. Sul primo e ultimo quarzo sono saldati 2 separatori schermanti. In corrispondenza degli spigoli superiori sono saldati 4 dadi M2 in ottone. Il coperchio di chiusura, pure in vetronite, deve avere dei finger saldati sp. 0.1 in bronzo che vanno a contatto dei separatori e corpo esterno dei singoli quarzi. Le uscite sono con connettori SMB. Con questi accorgimenti si ottiene una attenuazione fuori banda di oltre 107 dB. CARATTERISTICHE TECNICHE: FILTRO A frequenza centrale: 8999.59 Kc : perdita di inserzione 2.5 dB , larghezza di banda: 3.4 kc entro 6 dB - 5.12 Kc entro 60 dB - 8 Kc entro 90 dB , fuori banda oltre 107 dB , IP3: superiore a +27 dBm FILTRO B frequenza centrale: 8999.06 Kc: perdita di inserzione 3.4 dB , larghezza di banda: 2.2 Kc entro 6 dB - 3.74 Kc entro 60 dB - 5.7 Kc entro 90 dB , il resto come filtro A

DISCRIMINATORI FM

pag M 8

I discriminatori per FM servono alla demodulazione del segnale audio dopo la catena di amplificazione IF di un ricevitore FM . Possono essere usati per larghezze di banda stretta ( NBFM per telefonia tipicamente fino f di 10KHz ) o per larghezze di banda maggiori ( WBFM radiodiffusione con f molto pi largo ) . Dopo il discriminatore presente il segnale audio demodulato .

FILTRI SAW Surface Acoustic Wave , filtri ad onda superficiale

pag M 9

I filtri SAW sono usati sia nelle medie frequenze come filtro IF che nel front-end di ricevitori come filtro di testa , come passabanda per filtrare luscita RF di trasmettitori nella parte driver a bassa potenza , prima dello stadio finale . Sono anche utilizzati in applicazioni pi sofisticate , dove richiesta unottima risposta come ritardo di gruppo nei modulatoridemodulatori digitali o nei modulatori professionali per trasmettitori TV. Per la loro costruzione si usa una raffinata tecnica fotolitografica depositando degli elettrodi metallici a forma di pettine su un substrato monocristallino piezoelettrico di quarzo o cristalli di niobato di litio . Gli elettrodi funzionano come trasduttori , sfruttando le interferenze elettriche prodotte dalle onde meccaniche si ricava la funzione di filtro RF . Ecco alcune differenze rispetto ai filtri a quarzo : -- migliore fattore di forma e ritardo di gruppo con fase lineare ( alcuni hanno dei fianchi quasi verticali ) -- ripple in banda molto contenuto o quasi inesistente -- larghezze di banda anche molto ampie -- miniaturizzazione molto spinta -- funzionamento anche a frequenze molto elevate come 2 - 3 GHz -- facilit maggiore per la produzione di grossi volumi , miglior riproducibilit , quindi costo minore ( per quantit ) . -- come svantaggio hanno una perdita maggiore ed una selettivit finale inferiore . freq.

FILTRI Gigafil e ceramici

pag M 11

Questi filtri sono usati come filtro dingresso nei ricevitori o in uscita a preamplificatori , come filtro per O.L. ma anche nei trasmettitori nella parte a livello basso prima del finale di potenza , limpedenza 50 e sono quindi collegabili in cascata per poter aumentare la selettivit . Sono simili ai filtri ad elica ma la cavit risonante costruita in ceramica per microonde ad alto r ( costante dielettrica tip. 30 - 90 ) , ecco perch raggiungono dimensioni estremamente piccole . Sono costituiti da risuonatori coassiali in /4 , di solito risonanti in modo TEM ad alto Q accoppiati in modo da formare le varie celle risonanti . La conformazione della ceramica e le piccole dimensioni garantiscono anche una eccellente stabilit alle vibrazione , infatti la loro maggior applicazione prevista per apparati radio mobili quali cellulari , GPS ecc. La stabilit in temperatura molto buona ( NP0 tip. 5 ppm/C ) e possono anche reggere piccole potenze ( 0,5-2 W ) . La perdita di inserzione tipica di 0,5dB / cella spesso inferiore ai filtri ad elica poich sono particolarmente ottimizzati , anche il return loss buono compreso di solito tra 15 e 20 dB . Proprio per la loro possibilit di reggere piccole potenze, sono anche disponibili in versione filtro diplexer per apparati RTX , infatti alcuni di questi filtri gigafil sono ricavati dal semplice filtro passabanda di un filtro duplexer .

FILTRO Gigafil Wireless-ISM 2.4 GHz


FG 2440 un ottimo filtro adatto per la banda Wireless / ISM dei 2,4 GHz in contenitore SMD miniatura , pu essere agevolmente installato in apparecchiature gi esistenti fornendo un ulteriore filtraggio molto efficace contro eventuali disturbi che vengono a colpire il ricevitore con danni sull'efficienza del sistema . Adatto anche per nuovi progetti , un componente a basso costo e occupa uno spazio estremamente ridotto : solo 3,8 x 5,6 mm a montaggio superficiale , si tratta di un filtro di tipo "GIGAFIL" ovvero ottenuto con materiali ceramici e costituisce un intero filtro passa banda a 3 celle , esso corrisponde ad un filtro a elica ma con dimensioni ultracompatte . Non necessita di alcuna taratura quindi gi pronto per essere usato . Nel nostro laboratorio abbiamo testato sia un solo filtro che 2 filtri posti in cascata per migliorare ulteriormente le caratteristiche di selettivit . Dal grafico sotto riportato possibile vedere sia la curva di selettivit di un solo filtro che di 2 filtri e il relativo return loss ( adattamento di impedenza a 50 ) , i 2 filtri in cascata sono collegati tra di loro senza alcun tipo di matching .

FG 2440 is a high performance filter useful for the wireless / ISM 2.4 GHz band , it is in SMD miniature case, due to the small dimensions it can be easily put in a transceiver in order to improve the selectivity and to reduce the inerferences that can degrade the receiver performances . Besides it can be used in new projects , the price is not expensive . The filter consists of a 3 cells dielectric resonator gigafil in a monoblock , it is similar to a helical filter but with very small dimensions with case 3.8x5.6 mm and it comes in tape reel. It does not need any tuning . We tested the gigafil filter in our lab both in single configuration and with 2 filters in series in order to improve its selectivity . The graph shows the selectivity performances, with 1 or 2 filters , and the return loss ( impedance matching referred to 50 ) , the 2 filters in series has no matching network because they are directly connected .

FILTRI a Elica SINTONIZZABILI

pag M 14

Lapplicazione tipica come filtro dingresso RX o in uscita a preamplificatori , come filtro sull O.L. o per TX a livello basso prima del finale , l impedenza 50 e sono collegabili in cascata per poter aumentare la selettivit . Alcuni modelli di filtri a elica in UHF presentano una porta ( o entrambe ) con impedenza pi elevata , circa 200 - 300 . Questa particolarit li rende idonei per il collegamento diretto su un dispositivo tipo Fet , Mosfet o GaAsFet senza caricarlo eccessivamente , ci che normalmente si usa fare con trasformatore 1:4 per non caricare il drain del Fet , vedere gli schemi riportati nel disegno . Questi filtri a elica sono costituiti dalla classica spirale aperta in testa e sono tutti accordabili , ne risulta che la banda passante varia leggermente in funzione della frequenza e pu anche essere adattata di poco , alle proprie esigenze , in fase di taratura .

ATTENZIONE : sono disponibili anche molti filtri RF passabanda di tipo SAW e GIGAFIL la differenza sostanziale con i filtri saw e gigafil consiste nel fatto che questi sono sintonizzabili

segue FILTRI a Elica SINTONIZZABILI Filtro LC accordabile da 60 a 160 MHz cod. FE - 092 -A
Questo particolare componente serve per costruire dei filtri passabanda su frequenze che non sono coperte dalla produzione corrente . Infatti nei cataloghi dei costruttori di filtri a elica si trovano spesso le frequenze normalmente in uso a servizi radio , quali le frequenze amatoriali VHF UHF , le frequenze radiomobile , cellulare 900 - 1800 MHz o 160 - 460 MHz , GPS , ecc. ma raramente le frequenze VHF al di sotto dei 140 MHz . Questo filtro avendo tutti i reofori delle bobine e dei condensatori disponibili esternamente si presta bene per poter essere trimmato su frequenze pi basse , diciamo fino circa 60 MHz , al di sotto non pi consigliabile scendere per motivi di alta perdita e piccola escursione nella sintonia . Il filtro composto da 3 circuiti risonanti LC e agendo in modo opportuno , aggiungendo 5 condensatori come da tabella , sar possibile ottenere la frequenza e la banda passante desiderata .

Filtri UHF con impedenza 200 - 300


Questi filtri ad elica sono diversi da tutti gli altri a 50 , infatti una porta o entrambe le porte sono ad impedenza pi alta circa 200 - 300 . Questo serve per potersi connettere direttamente ad un MosFet o GaAsFet con un valore di impedenza quasi vicina e pi alta di 50 . Come raffigurato nel disegno sotto , spesso si usano dei trasformatori elevatori di impedenza per non caricare il semiconduttore . Con questi particolari filtri a elica possibile ottenere un buon matching direttamente con il filtro .

Filtri PASSA - BASSO

pag M 18

I filtri passa basso servono principalmente per tre scopi : -- Per filtrare le armoniche , ad esempio di un TX , o con segnali complessi quale il segnale in banda video , dopo luso di circolatori o isolatori ( i circolatori tendono ad aumentare le armoniche in presenza di alte potenze ) ecc . -- Ricevitori , analizzatori di spettro , misuratori di campo ecc , esempio tipico sul front-end di ricevitori dove la prima IF in alto ( ricevitori UP converter ) per evitare conversioni e spurie indesiderate con la 1 IF che risulta pi in alto . -- In laboratorio per migliorare laffidabilit delle misure , infatti le armoniche possono falsare la misura della dinamica a 2 toni su RX , con bolometri e frequenzimetri ecc . Specialmente con gli sweep le armoniche introducono errori nella misura del return loss e banda passante peggiorando il range dinamico della misura ( a volte con alti livelli di segnale si vedono dei picchi di risposta fantasmi , essi sono dovuti al contributo anomalo della seconda armonica che non viene di certo discriminata da un comune detector banda larga ) .

Filtri Diplexer - Triplexer - Quadriplexer - Multiplexer

pag M 19

I filtri chiamati duplexer - diplexer - triplexer , quadriplexer , multiplexer sono del tutto particolari e differenti da tutti gli altri filtri RF , il loro scopo essenzialmente quello di miscelare , o meglio di combinare , assieme su un unica uscita ( o ingresso ) pi frequenze tra di loro disaccoppiate . Ad esempio , le 2 bande di frequenza che compongono un diplexer devono essere isolate poich in una ci passa la potenza RF del TX , la quale non deve in alcun modo entrare nellaltra banda del RX . Questo era lesempio classico di un filtro diplexer usato in un ponte ripetitore , per combinare su un unica antenna il ricevitore ed il trasmettitore che devono lavorare simultaneamente , la stessa cosa succede in un apparato ricetrasmittente che funziona in dulplex . Unaltra applicazione consiste nel poter combinare su un unico cavo vari trasmettitori , ricevitori o vari ricetrasmettitori , dallaltra parte del cavo pu essere fatta loperazione contraria di divisione recuperando i segnali singoli o portarli tutti ad ununica antenna. Questi filtri sono costruiti sfruttando varie tecnologie e tipologie di funzionamento , il caso pi semplice di accoppiare assieme un passa basso con un passa alto , fino ai casi pi sofisticati con la combinazione di pi filtri passa banda , passa basso , passa alto e anche notch .

alcuni esempi di utilizzo

filtro triplexer usato per combinare filtro diplexer usato nei cellulari di filtro diplexer usato per combinare assieme assieme 3 bande di frequenza ultima generazione , lo scopo di TX e RX in un ponte radio ripetitore o in un distinte, lo scopo di usare un unico accoppiare sulla stessa antenna ricetrasmettitore duplex ( TR e RX cavo di collegamento tra le 3 sorgenti sia la parte 900 MHz che 1800 simultaneamente ) . In questo caso e le 3 uscite . In questo caso pu MHz . In questo caso pu essere costituito da un doppio filtro notch . essere costituito da un misto di passa costituito da passa basso ( la parte RX a 461 MHz avr il notch centrato banda , passa basso e passa alto + passa alto sulla frequenza del Tx a 471 MHz e viceversa )

Filtro TRIPLEXER

dc - 20 GHz

FILTRI DUPLEXER per PONTI RIPETITORI


I filtri duplexer sono impiegati nelle stazioni radio base ripetitrici in modo duplex , ovvero con il ricevitore e il trasmettitore che funzionano in modo simultaneo su due frequenze separate ma con unica antenna . Il filtro duplexer serve per miscelare su un unica antenna il TX e RX , la caratteristica pi importante consiste nell isolare in modo soddisfacente il segnale del TX dalla porta RX allo scopo di diminuire in modo sensibile il rientro del segnale TX che tende a desensibilizzare il ricevitore . I filtri duplexer servono anche per accoppiare 2 trasmettitori ad ununica antenna in modo da essere tra di loro isolati . 65 - 80 MHz 150 - 175 MHz 6 celle Tekelec CDH 0157-03-06-L2 isolamento > 75 dB 100 x 180 x 36 mm 156 - 174 MHz 6 celle conn N f + BNC-f isolam. > 80 dB perdita 1 - 1.3 dB , 120 x 56 x 36 mm 156 - 174 MHz 6 celle Celwave P450F BNC-f isolam. >70 dB perdita 1 - 1.3 dB , 90 x 155 x 35 mm 156 - 174 MHz 8 celle Celwave isolam. > 80 dB BNC f - SMB jack 165 x 180 x 36 mm 415 - 440 MHz 6 celle Tekelec CDHA-406-CC-001 N f - SMA f 100 x 170 x 35 mm 410 - 440 MHz 7 celle Tekelec CDH-418-10-07 80 x 180 x 30 mm SMB jack 440 - 470 MHz 6 celle Tekelec CDH-449-10-06-L N f - SMA f 100 x 190 x 36 mm 900 MHz vari tipi di grosse - medie dimensioni per stazioni radio base

These terminations or resistors have to be mounted on an adequate heat sink in order to dissipate the indicated power. NOTES : Termination , is intended when a terminal pin is already connected to the ground. Resistor, both pins are raised from ground , used for example as equalizer resistor in Wilkinson hybrids etc.. Power , this value is valid only if they are well dissipated on an adequate surface. For example the flange type must have an adequate heat sink, G resistor has to be mounted on a coaxial heat sink like the TN-G5 model or B termination has to be mounted on a metallic surface like a circulator.

It is an high precision thick film resistor suitable for RF terminations till 35 W continuous power. For a corrent mounting it needs an adequate heat sink. This resistor has both pins insulated from ground so any pin can be used for ground connection or for RF line. If it is used at high frequencies (> 300 MHz) it is recommended to leave about 6 mm of empty space between the pins and their connection, as you can see in the picture below. For a better cooling of the resistor it is preferable to mount it about in the center of the heat sink. It is provided without the heat sink.

Particular application of a power attenuator


The directional coupler is normally used to monitor the reflected power as indicator of the VSWR, the RF reflected power is than detected by a diode and computed as indicator of standing wave . The same job can be done by a power attenuator used as termination and applied to the circulator, It is also an attenuator for the reflected power to the diode . So you can avoid to use a directional coupler and a power termination for the circulator .

ATFS-A3XR28 or ATTC-H100NA20 ( see next pages )

For example , using our low cost 20dB 100W attenuator type ATTC-H100NA20 ( see next pages ) the price of the attenuator will be less than the price of the 2 not used componets .

power FIXED ATTENUATORS

pag N 11

In this page are described 2 precision attenuators, the full continuous power can be reached only by adding a quite big heat sink or a cooling fan (the heat sink in the picture is not adequate for a continuous usage). The two examples in these pictures are prototypes made and tested in our lab only for exemplification purpose, we sell only the ceramic chip without the heat sink. The tracks of the p.c. board are at 50 and for a better dissipation we strongly suggest to mount the attenuator about in the centre of the heat sink surface.

This is only an example of assembled and tested attenuator.

Guardando i grafici la banda di frequenza pu sembrare molto pi estesa di quanto dichiarato , in effetti la sola perdita di inserzione non sufficiente per caratterizzare un trasformatore , si quindi tenuto conto anche del return loss . Tutti i grafici hanno una scala verticale dellattenuazione a 3 dB / div. in quanto , per convenzione tra tutti i costruttori , la banda di frequenza si intende quella a -3dB . La scala orizzontale stata scelta in modo logaritmico anzich lineare per dare pi risalto alla minima frequenza utilizzabile .

SWITCH RF

pag P 5

Questi switch RF sono a stato solido ovvero non di tipo meccanico ma bens a semiconduttore , in genere a GaAs ma anche a diodi PIN , sono destinati per applicazioni di segnale o piccole potenze e spesso usati nella strumentazione . La differenza pi marcata rispetto ai tipi meccanici consiste nella notevole velocit di commutazione ( almeno 1.000 volte pi veloci ) ci che li rende idonei anche per applicazioni particolari come modulatori , switch TX - RX in sistemi wireless per dati ad alta velocit , ecc. I tipi Absorptive , chiamati anche non reflective , sono impiegati in applicazioni dove necessario terminare la porta non usata ( quella non commutata in quel momento ) anzich lasciarla aperta o libera .

SWITCH manuale coassiale MaCom

pag P 6

Lo switch manuale coassiale qui presentato ha delle caratteristiche veramente notevoli , stato provato nel nostro laboratorio riscontrando delle ottime performance di gran lunga superiori alle specifiche di targa del costruttore MaCom . E dotato di 3 posizioni che vengono commutate manualmente tramite una manopola , il fissaggio al pannello viene effettuato tramite 3 viti . I connettori delle 3 porte sono disposti in modo perpendicolare allasse di rotazione della manopola mentre il connettore comune posto sullasse della manopola . I connettori sono del tipo TNC f , perch questa scelta ? Questo commutatore prodotto per il settore militare e professionale , per avere dimensioni cos ridotte non sarebbe stato possibile utilizzare il connettore N , il BNC non approvato secondo norme Mil e non adatto per uso in aeronautica , inoltre il connettore TNC , come il tipo N , funziona molto bene anche a 10 GHz . Sono disponibili dei cavi in RG223 ( 5.4mm) argentati e a doppia calza intestati da un lato con TNCm . Per non perdere la notevole qualit di isolamento di questo switch si consiglia di utilizzare cavi a doppia schermatura e ad alto isolamento .

ACCOPPIATORI IBRIDI -- DIVISORI o SOMMATORI POWER SPLITTER -- ACCOPPIATORI DANTENNA

pag P 8

Sono componenti che servono per dividere o sommare segnali RF, lo stesso divisore infatti pu essere usato anche al contrario come sommatore di segnale , il nome che genericamente si usa come divisore o power splitter da intendere in modo generico e solo convenzionale per determinare la famiglia di componenti . Ne esistono di molti tipi , con diverse configurazioni circuitali in funzione della larghezza di banda , della potenza , del numero di porte e del tipo di isolamento che necessario avere tra le porte RF , ecco alcuni esempi : - Di debole potenza , per ricevitori , strumentazione o piccole potenze RF , esempio classico consiste nel dividere su pi ricevitori lo stesso segnale proveniente dalla stessa antenna . - Per alte potenze , spesso usati per poter accoppiare tra loro vari stadi e poter sommare la potenza in uscita , o pi semplicemente per portare su ununica antenna pi trasmettitori . - Combinatori di tipo Wilkinson , ibrido a -3dB , anello ibrido , ecc. - Accoppiatori dantenna , per accoppiare tra di loro varie antenne in fase allo scopo di aumentare guadagno e direttivit . - Con tutte le uscite tra loro in fase , sfasate di 90 oppure 180 . Le applicazioni dei power splitter sono moltissime, le pi comuni ed evidenti sono gi state indicate sopra , altre pi particolari sono le seguenti : come divisori o sommatori a 90 per fare dei modulatori o demodulatori I e Q , per uso laboratorio quando necessario sommare 2 generatori RF senza che tra di loro si vedano ( gergo tecnico per indicare che tra di loro sono disaccoppiati ed il segnale di uno non pu andare verso laltro ) , per mixer bilanciati e mixer a reiezione di immagine , per phase shifter , per attenuatori ad impedenza costante controllati in corrente , ecc. numero delle porte 2 porte 3 porte 4 porte 6 porte 8 porte 16 porte 24 porte divisione di potenza ( perdita fittizia ) 3 dB 4.8 dB 6 dB 7.8 dB 9 dB 12 dB 13.8 dB In questa tabella sono elencati i fattori di divisione ( o di somma ) della potenza espressi in dB in funzione del numero di porte , i risultati in dB indicano la perdita fittizia del segnale dopo la sua corrispondente divisione Ad esempio , un power splitter con 4 porte avr un segnale in uscita su ogni porta corrispondente a -6dB rispetto al segnale presente sulla porta comune . La perdita fittizia poich il segnale non va perso ma solamente diviso tra le varie porte , la perdita reale invece dipende dalla tecnologia usata , dalla frequenza , combinate soprattutto con la larghezza di banda che si vuole ottenere .

Specifiche che caratterizzano un power splitter


-- Numero di porte , indica il numero di uscite ( o ingressi ) sulle quali possibile dividere ( o sommare ) il segnale , tipicamente e pi facilmente si usano le divisioni binarie di 2 , 4 , 8 . Da notare che se si necessita di un divisore a 4 vie lo si pu realizzare utilizzandone anche 3 da 2 vie . -- Isolamento tra le porte , indica lisolamento tra le porte di divisione quando sia le porte di divisione che la porta comune sono terminate perfettamente sulla impedenza nominale , una gamma tipica di valori da 20 dB a 30 dB . -- Perdita di inserzione , la perdita reale dovuta a vari fattori , tra cui la larghezza di banda , la frequenza , la tecnologia usata . Alcuni esempi : per divisori di piccola potenza a banda larga ( 10 - 1000 MHz ) tra 0,3 e 1 dB , per divisori di alta potenza ibridi a -3dB o Wilkinson con banda 1 ottava 0,1 - 0,3 dB, per divisori puramente resistivi -6dB. -- Potenza , per questa specifica bisogna considerare sia la potenza reale di transito che la potenza dissipata dalla resistenza interna di bilanciamento . La resistenza interna di bilanciamento , per ovvie ragioni di tecnologia e di meccanica , difficilmente supera il 10% della potenza massima di transito , spesso da 0.2W a 1W . La funzione della resistenza di bilanciamento , sia essa interna che esterna , quella di dissipare la potenza creata da un qualsiasi sbilanciamento o avaria sulle porte RF . -- Bilanciamento sulla fase , indica la differenza tra le fasi in uscita , per divisori a 2 vie tipicamente 2 entro unottava , da 3 a 5 per larghezze di banda maggiori , per divisioni maggiori ovviamente la differenza di fase aumenta . -- Bilanciamento sullampiezza , indica la differenza di ampiezze tra le varie uscite , un parametro molto variabile ed assoggettato alla tecnologia usata , alla frequenza , alla banda ecc. tipicamente da 0,2 a 0,8 dB .

Riscaldatore di precisione per quarzi

pag Q 2

Riscaldatore di precisione per quarzi


Questo riscaldatore serve per portare alla temperatura di 41C il quarzo ad esso collegato. La temperatura stata scelta a 41C poich permette di poter utilizzare ancora dei quarzi comuni tagliati per 25C . La parte elettronica costituita da un minuscolo circuito su allumina dove verr appoggiato il quarzo da riscaldare e fissato con un apposito termorestringente, il circuito stampato in allumina permette un notevole trasferimento di calore dal riscaldatore al quarzo stesso. Il quarzo da riscaldare viene appoggiato alla parete di allumina in modo da costituire un solido corpo unico . La precisione in temperatura ottenuta sar di circa 0.1 C che costituisce una valida alternativa a basso costo rispetto ai pi costosi Oven a +70 / 75C . Va anche considerato che i sofisticati riscaldatori OVEN a 70C hanno un notevole assorbimento di corrente . Temperatura 40.8 C 1.5 C Precisione di regolazione 0.1C Alimentazione da 8 a 12V Assorbimento max 80 mA allaccensione Dimensioni 10.5 x 14 x 4 mm Adatto per quarzi HC 49 - 43 - 18 - 25 - 42

VCO , Voltage Controlled Oscillator Breve introduzione e guida alla scelta dei VCO

pag Q 5

Per VCO ( Voltage Controlled Oscillator ) si intende un oscillatore libero la cui frequenza di uscita variabile tramite una tensione di sintonia in corrente continua fornita esternamente al VCO , il diodo varicap contenuto allinterno del VCO il componente preposto ad effettuare la variazione di frequenza . La variazione in frequenza possibile poich il diodo varicap agisce da condensatore variabile sul circuito LC che determina la frequenza di oscillazione del VCO stesso , possiamo quindi affermare che il VCO nato con la comparsa dei diodi varicap ( Yig e Gunn a parte ) . Con diodi varicap moderni cosiddetti hyperabrupt possibile ottenere VCO con estese larghezze di banda , infatti questi varicap hanno unescursione di capacit molto grande c > 15 (c = rapporto di variazione tra capacit min. e max.) , sono anche disponibili diodi ottimizzati per tensioni di sintonia basse da 1 a 4 V per le moderne applicazioni wireless . Sovrapposta alla tensione di sintonia pu essere applicata anche la modulazione audio FM ( o video FM ) , altri VCO invece hanno il pin di modulazione separato semplicemente per una questione di comodit oppure per avere una sensibilit di sintonia ( MHz / V ) diversa dalla sensibilit di modulazione . Leffetto di modulazione in un VCO perfettamente simile alleffetto di variazione della frequenza tramite la cc applicata al varicap , infatti , se la tensione cc di controllo fosse solamente un pochino sporca di residuo di rete , si avr una modulazione residua di fondo . La banda passante della modulazione dipende principalmente dalla costante di tempo tra lingresso di modulazione ed il varicap . Come regola empirica vale la considerazione che un VCO con estesa larghezza di banda usato principalmente per strumentazione , mentre un VCO con ristretta larghezza di banda viene usato per modulazioni FM , i VCO con ristretta larghezza di banda hanno un miglior phase noise . I VCO con risuonatore ceramico DR hanno escursioni in frequenza ancora pi limitate ma un ottimo phase noise e una stabilit intrinseca migliore dovuta al maggior Q del risuonatore DR rispetto ad un circuito LC classico . Il risuonatore DR si comporta esattamente come una cavit /4 oscillando in modo TEM , grazie a delle ceramiche con alto valore di r da 20 a 90 possibile ottenere delle vere cavit con dimensioni ultraminiatura ( ved. risuonatori DR a sez. quadra pi avanti sul catalogo ) . La freq. minima in un VCO si ottiene con tensione di sintonia zero ovvero massima capacit del varicap , mentre la freq. pi alta con tensione di sintonia alta ovvero minima capacit del varicap , come dato empirico ne consegue che la freq. minima non pu essere ulteriormente abbassata mentre possibile un leggero overrange per la freq. massima . I VCO a sintonia lineare ( risposta MHz / V costante su tutta la banda ) sono pi complicati da ottenere , servono principalmente per strumentazione e con bande generalmente molto estese , in una catena a PLL si usano con i comparatori di fase dove serve avere un guadagno costante danello del loop , i VCO a risposta lineare sono utilizzati anche dove indispensabile avere la modulazione costante su tutta la banda di funzionamento ( ved. grafici pi avanti ) I VCO costituiscono un circuito delicato e importante nella progettazione di sintetizzatori e apparati in genere per RF , il loro comportamento unito alle loro prestazioni ( phase noise ) spesso determinano le prestazioni dellintero progetto e soltanto tramite complicate reti di sintesi possibile ripulire il rumore stesso del VCO . I VCO trovano applicazioni nei sintetizzatori per la generazione di frequenze agganciate a PLL , nel circuito di OL di ricevitori e analizzatori di spettro , ma anche nelle microspie , piccoli trasmettitori video ecc. ecc. . Ma , per utilizzare al meglio i VCO ed ottenere le migliori prestazioni , 2 sono le regole importantissime da rispettare : Separare molto bene luscita RF del VCO dal mondo esterno tramite un opportuno stadio buffer con alto isolamento inverso ( ved. parametri S12 o reverse isolation nei MMIC ) , filtrare con la massima cura lalimentazione e la modulazione , meglio sarebbe poterlo alimentare tramite batteria con fili schermati e cortissimi , il filtraggio tramite opportuni filtri EMI molto importante , ad esempio poniamo di avere un VCO con sensibilit di sintonia 10MHz / V , significa che basta un ripple sulla tensione di sintonia di solo 1 mV per avere una modulazione residua di ben 10 KHz . La specifica pi importante in un VCO il basso phase noise ( rumore di fase ) esso dipende principalmente da 3 fattori: -- Uso di transistor o Fet a basso flicker noise ( 1/f ) , questo principalmente causa del phase noise vicino alla portante -- Uso di transistor o Fet a basso rumore ( alto rapporto S/N del segnale in uscita ) -- Q sotto carico del circuito risonante , come circuito risonante si intende il circuito LC o cavit o risuonatore DR ecc , ma anche i condensatori che fungono da partitore e laccoppiamento con lelemento attivo . Infatti non sufficiente disporre di un risuonatore con alto Q a vuoto , il vero trucco consiste nel trovare il giusto accoppiamento col circuito . Il phase noise espresso in dBc / Hz ( dB carrier per Hz ) che significa quanto rumore contenuto ad una certa distanza dalla portante considerando una larghezza di banda unitaria pari ad 1 Hz e rapportato al livello della portante . E quindi da considerare come un numero relativo che in poche parole dice di quanti dB attenuato il rumore di fase rispetto al livello della portante come se fosse misurato da un ricevitore avente 1 Hz di banda passante .

Per la costruzione di VCO sono disponibili molti componenti anche speciali fino alle onde , esempio:
diodi varicap di sintonia in case ceramico , in SMD , a basso costo o hyperabrupt , anche adatti per VCO diretti a microonde ved. MA46H037 induttanze alto Q , in SMD e ultraminiatura , con vasta gamma disponibile condensatori chip alto Q ved. serie ATC100A in porcellana alta stabilit risuonatori ceramici SAR , o a dielettrico DR sia coassiali che a pastiglia vari transistor e GaAsFet oscillatori , in modo particolare bipolari con basso flicker noise con Ft 45 GHz ved.

Il vco JTOS-1000W ha una notevole linearit di sintonia ( riga tratteggiata ) associata ad una costante sensibilit di sintonia ( linea continua ) . Questo significa che con tensione di sintonia 3 - 18 V il vco ha una variazione in frequenza lineare con la tensione di sintonia , il vantaggio consiste ad esempio in una deviazione in frequenza che costante sull'intera banda di frequenza 500 - 1000 MHz

I risuonatori DR sono usati come elemento risonante nei filtri , oscillatori ecc. sostituendo le linee o cavit meccaniche. Sono a pastiglia in modo TE usati oltre 2 GHz o a cavit metallizzata quadra in modo TEM sotto 5 GHz. I vantaggi sono lalto Q , buona stabilit ( alcune ppm/C ) , basso rumore di fase e piccole dimensioni, classico esempio nei TV Sat LNB dove la pastiglia usata nel circuito oscillante di OL. Se usati come filtri hanno un miglior Q e stabilit rispetto a quelli di tipo meccanico , se usati come oscillanti hanno una miglior stabilit ma principalmente un miglior phase noise . Se usati correttamente in circuiti oscillanti ben progettati , ad esempio in VCO , il miglioramento in termini di phase noise decisamente notevole e sopra ad ogni aspettativa . AVVERTENZE per la FREQUENZA : La frequenza nei DR cosa controversa e complicata da stabilire . La verifica viene eseguita da ogni costruttore in modo diverso , con un jig di prova diverso, ne consegue che lutilizzatore avr delle differenze sulla frequenza. Le differenze sono dovute anche al modo di utilizzo , ad esempio come filtro in cavit o circuito oscillante, in funzione del tipo di supporto usato alla base , al variare dellelemento di sintonia e dal contenitore ecc ecc.

SUPPORTO per DR o ELEMENTO DI TARATURA ( per pastiglia tonda TE )


Alla base della pastiglia DR normalmente si utilizza un elemento amorfo come supporto isolante di buona durezza , con buona stabilit termica e non di materiale morbido , no teflon o mica ma quarzo , allumina , ceramica per microonde . Questo infatti il montaggio che sperimentalmente ha dato ottimi risultati in termini di Q e stabilit verso temperatura ( per la scelta dellallumina vedere nella sezione LAMINATI tipi in allumina vergine ) . Lo stesso materiale pu essere incollato alla sommit della pastiglia come taratura , potendolo facilmente frantumare in piccole dimensioni secondo la necessit . Alcune delle nostre pastiglie , quelle contrassegnate col simbolo , sono gi dotate di supporto amorfo incollato alla base . Per la regolazione e la sintonia continua si possono usare i microwave tuning element ( vedere sezione condensatori ) .

AVVERTENZE per la FREQUENZA : La frequenza nei DR cosa controversa e complicata da stabilire . La verifica viene eseguita da ogni costruttore in modo diverso con un jig di prova diverso, ne consegue che lutilizzatore avr delle differenze sulla frequenza. Le differenze sono dovute anche al modo di utilizzo , ad esempio come filtro in cavit o circuito oscillante, in funzione del tipo di montaggio , al variare dellelemento di sintonia e dal contenitore ecc ecc. Da parte nostra eseguiamo la verifica in modo ripetitivo sempre nello stesso jig di prova . Per i risuonatori TEM sez. quadra la frequenza si intende la massima teorica a circuito aperto come se il risuonatore non avesse alcun carico collegato , quindi la frequenza vera che si ottiene sul proprio circuito sar inferiore di circa il Rif.

Determinazione della frequenza nominale in un risuonatore quadro DRQ


La frequenza nominale di un risuonatore DRQ quadro misurata dai costruttori , in un jig di prova dove il risuonatore stesso non risulta caricato in alcun modo . Ne consegue che la frequenza di targa nominale non avr nessuna attinenza con la frequenza vera che lutilizzatore poi trover nel suo circuito applicativo . Per una prova empirica e semplice , ma molto verosimile , baster accoppiare il risuonatore ad una linea 50 , collegata in un network analyzer o tra il generatore tracking e lanalizzatore di spettro , tramite un accoppiamento molto lasco ( << 1 pF o il minimo possibile ) . Un altro sistema consiste nel cercare il dip di assorbimento infilando il pin del DRQ , entro 2 spire di un link accoppiato al segnale RF passante .

la frequenza indicata dal dip sar molto vicino alla frequenza nominale del risuonatore DR

Taratura di risuonatori quadri DRQ e DRT


Abbiamo eseguito in laboratorio una semplice prova con lo scopo di dimostrare come effettuare una trimmatura di un risuonatore DR quadro , come esempio si usato un DR quadro a 1150 MHz . La trimmatura consiste nel togliere (limare) la metallizzazione sulla parte esterna della cavit ( basta solo da un lato ) vedere la foto qui sotto nel grafico con i risultati ottenuti .

1 La frequenza in origine step era di 1153 MHz . E stata limata per 1.5 mm di larghezza fino ad eliminare 2 largentatura esterna . step La frequenza si spostata a 1164 MHz . E stata limata per 3 mm di larghezza fino ad eliminare 3 largentatura esterna . step La frequenza si spostata a 1173 MHz .
In questa tabella sono riportate alcune misure eseguite su un risuonatore DRT ( tondo ) per microonde . Lo scopo semplicemente di mostrare vari tipi di sintonia ma anche di montaggio con i valori di frequenza ottenuta . Per semplificare la dimostrazione, non si considerato alcun elemento di sintonia tipo vite di regolazione .

Esempio di filtro passabanda con 3 risuonatori DRQ e differenza di frequenza tra quella nominale e quella reale
Questo semplice esempio dI filtro passabanda costituito da 3 risuonatori coassiali tipo DRQ , con i 4 gigatrimmer possibile effettuare anche una sintonia del filtro spostandolo di circa 40 MHz , ottenendo anche una variazione della banda passante . NB : importante notare la differenza tra le frequenze nominali dei risuonatori e le frequenze reali quando vengono inseriti in un circuito. Come si pu vedere le frequenze ottenute sono sensibilmente inferiori rispetto alla frequenza nominale dei risuonatori , dai DRQ 1150 e 1200 MHz si ottengono le frequenze reali di 1080 , 1100 e 1125 MHz , proprio per effetto del carico che vede il risuonatore .

LAMINATE , p. c. board for RF and microwave frequency

pag R 1

Selection guide
This short selection guide was written to help all those who approach the world of laminates for RF and microwave frequency, we do not have the pretension to cover all this ample subject, but at least to let the buyer make the best choice for his application. Before to begin we would like to point out the fact that a good RF laminate should not have only the quality of low insertion loss, but a number of other features briefly described in the following table. Specifications Low insertion loss Repeatability of thickness and dielectric constant r Low moisture absorption Dimensional stability Workability Advantages higher gain or, lower noise figure or higher output power, lower heating so more thermal stability etc... repeatability of projects with consistency of results over time, less tuning time and so less skilled manpower for testing etc... stability with age (see patch antennas), and thermal stability both for variable weather conditions and for self-heating due to high power.. it is referred to the workablity of the standard FR4 laminate. Polyester laminates and without teflon generally, have a workability similar to FR4 while teflon laminates have a workable on the plated holes with an extra step

NOT TEFLON LAMINATES


Of all the features shown in the table we wish to concentrate on one in particular: repeatability. In fact the main problem, in our opinion, for the standard FR4 laminate (flame retardant version of the G10) is not the insertion loss when operating at medium-low frequencies from 100 to 1000 MHz, but a huge dispersion of parameters that in some extreme cases can make it unusable, let's explain: the dielectric constant of FR4 or G10 can range from 4.2 to 4.8 ( 6.6%) either for different batch production, for different manufacturer and also for different frequencies, moreover a variation of 0.06 (1.3%) on the same sheet is quite common and accepted. If it is summed to a less precise thickness you will come to an extreme variation of about 9% which is quite impossible for anyone who build for example filters on strip, power dividers and power matching dividers in general. The laminates for RF and microwave frequency "not-teflon" as well as having less losses than FR4 ensure the dispersion characteristics of 2% total. Another advantage of microwave not-Teflon laminate is the workability similar to FR4 and less complicated than Teflon, combined with a mechanical strength superior to the Teflon one.

TEFLON LAMINATES
Still on the subject of losses, in simple terms we can consider that the insertion loss decreases with increasing content of Teflon, it decreases the dielectric constant and thus improve the dissipation factor. The increase of Teflon, however, decreases the mechanical strenght and makes the laminate too soft, in fact most successful teflon laminates are those with a dielectric constant between 2.30 and 2.50. For very high frequency applications is recommended to reduce the dielectric constant from 2.17 to 2.20 to improve the insertion loss and decrease to 1/2 oz the copper thickness so that the irregularities in erosion of copper be as small as possible, and so better tracks. The difference between the woven and microfibre teflon depends by the fact that microfibre (as it is made up of microscopic particles randomly dispersed) it's more isotropic than woven type. The woven type is strengthened by longitudinal bars and it could be affected by a performance difference depending on whether the tracks are positioned: parallel or perpendicular to the texture, but it has been verified by practical tests that this difference exists only at very high frequencies (> 20 GHz), in its favor instead the woven type has the advantage of a superior mechanical strenght. Application medium-low frequencies with tracks used as tuned circuits frequency > 10 GHz general purpose up to 10 GHz low noise or mdium power amplifiers up to 3 GHz antennas ultra low noise applications substitution of FR4 for better performancess but without any modification to the project (with the same r) necessity for a reduction of dimensions high power amplifier with high current Laminate type both teflon and not-teflon teflon ,low r , low thickness that will decrease upon frequency growth and if possible low copper thickness ( 1/2 OZ ) to avoid irregularities on tracks. not teflon , teflon not teflon , teflon not teflon , high r teflon teflon AR 450, 2 thikness available high r laminate ( AR 450 ) any type , depending on rules on frequency usage, but with 2 OZ of copper

METAL BOXES with 2 covers

pag R 6

0,5 mm tin plated sheet metal boxes allow to work even on the p.c. board side thanks to their two removable covers, in fact it is often necessary in RF to work on the side of the PCB. Once the circuit is finished it will be possible to easily add the bottom cover. Another advantage is that it is possible to make holes on the box side before its mounting and lean it on the column drill base.

cheap and easy to use


1 step , make holes on the box sides as needed before to join them 2nd step , join and solder the two metal sheet sides to created the four box sides 3rd step , insert the PCB in the box formed by the four sides 4th step , last insert the bottom and the top cover

Continue - METAL BOXES

pag R 7

These metal boxes are suitable for use on printed circuit board and are used to contain particularly critical circuits that need to be shielded, we can do an example of a VCO or a DDS synthesizer that needs a proper filtering and metal enclosure. The box is made up of a four 0.3 mm thick brass sides which are soldered on the printed circuit board with a very narrow pitch (5 mm), this provides an excellent ground connection even at medium-high frequencies. Each box has also a removable nickel-plated 0.3 mm thick cover, the most valuable characteristics is that the cover always fit a finger between the internal and external ensuring very good RF shielding. There is also a particular feature that worth some more words: they are very delicate so they have a special packaging to protect them so the price is lower if they are bought in their original package, this reduce the time for packaging and guarantee a better protection of the boxes for shipment and stocking.

Fingers

pag R 9

The fingers are used where it is required a secure and reliable contact between a fixed and a mobile part or between a fixed and sliding one. They are usually mounted on the fixed part while the mobile part (eg the cover of a box) when close make a pressure on the finger to ensure a safe and reliable contact because each finger, which is separated from its next, perfectly fit the imperfections of edges. Another example of application of finger can be seen in some boxes where the cover ensures the contact on each finger.

CAVITY FINGERS
These beryllium-copper fingers are suitable for sliding contact inside transmitting cavities or cavity filters, the copper-beryllium is the best material for this type of use in fact it has either very good electrical conductivity and mechanical durability . They are supplied in strips of 406 mm long. They can also be easily cut to obtain the round shape.

Microwave absorber

pag R 10

The microwave absorbers, usually for RF, for simplicity can be divided into two categories: FOR ANECHOIC CHAMBERS, for antennas or open space. They work on the principle of gradual impedance transition, they are of pyramidal shape for anechoic chambers. They are often used to reduce the secondary lobes or unwanted couplings, for example on radar antennas, in this case they are more than 1 cm thick. FOR ENCLOSED SPACE OR CAVITY, a common metal box acts as a cavity excited by secondary propagation modes, for very high frequencies (eg, microwave) or in large boxes, the RF circuit will tend also to self-oscillate. Since no box is identical, in size, shape, frequency of use and exciting mode, to another, it is very difficult to determine in advance what can be the propagation mode associated with that particular frequency. The absorber inserted into the cavity is designed to attenuate the resonance peaks by changing the characteristics of the cavity and the phase of the reflected signal, moreover being made up of carbon it will tend to deteriorate the Q of the cavity in order to decrease the self-oscillations in resonance peaks. For optimum operation this absorber must be laid on a metal part (cover). As a general rule in an absorber as thickness is increased the minimum operating frequency is lowered but increase costs, another important quality that a good absorber must have is a poor conductivity to prevent short circuits if it falls on the components. The MAS... and MAF-3A absorbers are only used in cavities (metal boxes) and placed on a metal plane, they are provided, for easy installation, of a self-adhesive film. Types MAF-10A and MAF-19, thanks to the big thickness and the fact that they are multilayer, are also suitable as absorber in open space, eg to reduce the lobes on the antennas, this two types have also high attenuation.

High dynamic amplifier 1.4-1.9 GHz MLA-9501

pag S 6

The Micom MLA-9501 amplifier covers the band from 1400 to 1900 MHz, it is suitable for medium noise and high dynamic applications, it has the possibility to tune the gain using PIN diodes. The power supply is +12 V with a typical current of 330mA due to high dynamic. The input signal incoming in the SMA female connector is divided by a power splitter connected to the PIN diodes attenuator and it is then recombined on output again by a power splitter. Following the stage of real amplification still made up of an input divider followed by two high dynamic ATF10736 GaAs-FET active devices and it is then recombined on output again by a power splitter, the output signal is on SMB (f) plug connector. As you can see from the configuration of the block diagram (2 stages coupled in parallel) and the low distortion pin diodes, the amplifier is mainly designed for high dynamic applications or as a second stage amplifier. The amplifier is housed in a milled aluminum box with all the connectors on the same side. NOTE: in the field of microwave radio links or for professional applications is often used the configuration with two low noise stages in parallel, the aim is clearly to improve the dynamics, the circuit becomes very complicated but with a significant improvement with strong signals, the result is a noise figure almost similar to that of a single stage and a better matching. Note that the same application also includes attenuator stages with pin diodes (always coupled with hybrid combinators), balanced mixers, etc

typical noise figure and gain span 1300 - 2000 MHz

the amplifier is provided with SMB jack coaxial cable assembly

21 - 24 GHz Front - end ( down converter mixer )

pag S 8

These DOWN-CONVERTER MIXERS are the FRONT-END receiver for systems operating from 21 to 24 GHz. The RF input is in WR42 waveguide with normalized flange and its input matching, then follows the first insulator that matches the waveguide transition with the amplifier stage. The low noise amplifier consists of an entire internal matched GaAs-FET module already pre matched by the manufacturer on the lower frequency band 21 - 22GHz, like FMC 2122 LN-03 or the higher frequency band 22 - 23 GHz, like FMC 2223 LN-03. The characteristic of this amplifier is a gain of 12-13 dB with noise figure of 3 - 3.5 dB and a good stability and repeatability, usually very hard to get at these frequencies. There is another insulator, always with matching function, to prevent the return of the LO signal to the antenna. The mixer stage consists of two pairs of good Schottky beam lead HP HSCH 9301 quads, the noise figure of the diode quads in the K band is 6.5 dB with a Cj < 0.12pF for each diode. This configuration, well known in microwave applications, allows to use a LO with half frequency that is normally required, greatly simplifying the LO circuitry. At the end there is a hybrid for the IF output port, which has a rather wide band centered at 1GHz and usable form 400 MHz to 1500 MHz.

NSG-10A noise generator


This noise generator covers the frequency band from 10 MHz to 10.4 GHz, it is realized according to the scheme and the description already listed in this catalog at the end of the section "A" diodes. As widely described in section A, the noise source generator is used for various applications including some of the most important: -- Reference to measure the noise figure of low noise amplifiers, front-end receiver, mixer, IF amplifiers and so on. -- Calibrator for spectrum analyzers and reference for radio astronomy receivers. -- Noise source for RF jammers -- Signal source for scalar measures for old spectrum analyzers that are without a tracking generator. -- Special and complex measures such as dithering, fading simulation, NPR, etc... Usually a noise generator is simple and almost trivial, the main difficulties in build it consist mostly of output linearity (or level flatness) and calibration. The circuit must be made with the utmost care to avoid that one or more components give unwanted resonances thus altering the response of the output signal, with dangerous dips at the self-resonant frequency of some components . The choice of components is very critical when you have to work within 3 decades of bandwidth and also the mechanics must be well cared. The calibration is also important because each noise generator diode has its own frequency pattern, although with variations of only 1 or 2 dB, each diode must be characterized as the noise figure measure will then need a very precise reference. The diodes are also pre-aged through burn-in and powered for several hours before the final calibration, to ensure a limited aging. Each noise generator is characterized with Agilent N8975A Noise Figure Meter and Noise Source Series N4000 on the frequencies of 10 and 100 MHz and then from 1 to 10.4 GHz by steps of 1 GHz. The output level about 15 dBENR, the return loss, very important for measurements of NF, is kept low through a connectorised attenuator mounted directly on the noise generator and calibrated together with the generator itself.

DC block

pag T 1

La funzione di un dc block quella di bloccare il passaggio della corrente continua facendo transitare la sola corrente alternata o RF. Poniamo lesempio di un analizzatore di spettro ; spesso viene collegata una sonda o semplicemente un cavo , che serve per trovare il segnale RF sulla piastra che si sta riparando , ad esempio il segnale di OL in un RX . Se non si interpone il dc block sul connettore di ingresso dello strumento , si rischia di danneggiare l'analizzatore di spettro , poich col segnale RF di pochi millivolt sar presente anche la c.c. ( tipico +12V ) presente sul collettore del transistor come alimentazione , questa potrebbe entrare nel mixer o nell'attenuatore di ingresso dellanalizzatore danneggiandolo . Ricordiamo che una tensione di 12Vcc su 50 resistivi ha lo stesso effetto di ben 2,9 W di potenza RF ( P = V2 / R ) al nostro analizzatore di spettro . La prestazione del dc block quella di avere una banda pi larga possibile , con il minor valore di ROS e minor valore di attenuazione RF . Nelle nostre misure di laboratorio , abbiamo considerato come banda valida e realmente utilizzabile quella contenuta entro una perdita di 1 dB ( perdita del segnale RF ) ed un return loss di -10dB ( VSWR di 1 : 1.9 ) . Ovviamente pu essere utilizzato anche oltre questi limiti ma solo per misure indicative senza pretesa di precisione . NB , i limiti di Return Loss a 10dB e a 1dB di attenuazione sono ritenuti sufficienti considerando luso come dc block e considerato il fatto che sono valori raggiunti solo al limite della banda . nostre misure rilevate in laboratorio Frequenza 1 MHz - 24 GHz Attenuazione 1MHz 1dB - 8GHz 0,3dB - 18GHz 0,5dB - 24GHz 1dB Return Loss ved.

Questi rivelatori sono utilizzati per le varie applicazioni RF , come rivelatori di campo elettromagnetico , misuratori di campo , detector per la linearizzazione di segnali RF , monitor per la potenza di trasmettitori , rivelatori di sorgenti RF e in varie applicazioni da laboratorio . I primi 2 modelli sono connettorizzati e sono utilizzabili sia senza bias che con bias , se usati con bias esterno hanno una resa leggermente migliore , la rete di bias non complicata basta una corrente di circa 50 - 100 A polarizzata in modo diretto ( negativo sul catodo del diodo tramite una resistenza di bias ) . Il terzo modello usato prevalentemente senza bias ( utilizza un diodo a Zero Bias ) per applicazioni su microstrip o racchiuso in apposito contenitore metallico . Entrambi sono praticamente senza condensatore di uscita , previsto solo una piccolissima capacit di 24pF , questo utile poich il segnale di uscita non risulta condizionato da alcuna costante di tempo , il detector risulta quindi adatto anche per rivelatori con uscita video anche molto complessa o con una banda passante molto estesa o pulsata . Se viceversa utile apportare una costante di tempo idonea alla banda video rivelata sempre possibile inserire un condensatore esterno. Limpedenza di uscita non critica , in genere utilizzabile una gamma di valori molto estesa da 1 K fino 1 M .

GIUNTO ROTANTE

pag T 3

Per connessioni che richiedono una parte in movimento ( rotazione ) rispetto ad una fissa si usa il giunto rotante . Fra le varie applicazioni , oltre a quella pi classica del radar , il giunto rotante viene utilizzato per antenne di misura su mezzi mobili di radiosorveglianza , sistemi satellitari , test di collaudo e misure particolari ecc. Fra i parametri di specifica pi importanti vi il tempo di vita medio o numero di rotazioni , la massima velocit di rotazione , la gamma di temperatura ed altri ancora di natura pi meccanica-ambientale che elettrica ; infatti il giunto rotante sicuramente uno dei dispositivi per RF tra i pi costosi e sofisticati e viene utilizzato solo dove realmente indispensabile. Essendo un componente dinamico le performance elettriche si ottengono solo con un progetto e una realizzazione meccanica di notevole qualit , va anche considerato che , a differenza di altri oggetti meccanici rotanti , non pu essere soggetto a lubrificazione . Di seguito sono riportate le specifiche di 3 modelli . Prezzi e ulteriori specifiche sono fornite su richiesta . modello cod.

Calibrazione ENR per le testine noise source

pag T 4

Per il settore misura di figura di rumore siamo in grado di effettuare delle misure di ENR sui noise source . La misura copre la gamma 10 MHz - 26 GHz ed in grado di fornire una tabella del valore di Excess Noise Ratio del generatore di rumore normalmente impiegato per la misura della figura di rumore . La misura avviene per riferimento rispetto a 2 noise source Agilent : mod N4002A da 10 MHz a 26 GHz e N4000A a basso Ros da 10 MHz a 18 GHz utilizzando come strumento di misura il mod. Agilent N 8975 A. La fonte di rumore da calibrare dovr tassativamente avere la classica alimentazione pulsata 0 + 28V generalmente usata da tutti i costruttori di noise source . Per un miglior risultato e ripetibilit si useranno le stesse frequenze usate nei generatori di rumore campioni ovvero 10MHz , 100MHz , 1GHz e fino a 18 o 26 GHz con passi di 1 GHz . I nostri riferimenti ci indicano una precisione , a 20C 3C , ragionevolmente stimata pari a : 0,12 dB per 10 - 3.000 MHz 0,15 dB per 3 - 12 GHz 0,20 dB per 12 - 18 GHz 0,40 dB oltre 18 GHz Questa stima derivata anche da controlli e verifiche effettuate su vari generatori di rumore tipo HP 346 A - B - C , gi calibrati , utilizzando la tabella in dotazione per stimare lerrore di misura da noi effettuato . Senza pretendere di fare concorrenza o di volerci paragonare ai laboratori certificati NITS , riteniamo di poter fornire un servizio adeguato e ragionevole in termini di precisione a chi si dedica alla costruzione di generatori di rumore o alle aziende che per qualsiasi ragione necessitano una verifica dei loro noise source .
