-- Now Includes Filter and Mixer/LO
Frequency Calculations -- If you purchased RF Cascade Workbook 2003 between September 1, 2004 and November 17, 2004, please send me an e-mail requesting the upgrade and I'll be happy to send you the RFCW2005 file at no charge. Upgrades from any other time period are available for only $20. 50- and 100-component versions are available at no additional cost.
  RF Cascade Workbook 2005 (RFCW2005) is built on the format of RFCW2003, and now includes filter response and frequency conversion. The number of filters and mixers that can be used are limited only by Excel and your computer. Additionally, 2nd-order calculations that were introduced in RFCW2004 are included. A return to the RF Cascade Workbook 2003 format was chosen because the necessary multi-page format makes adding and deleting components simpler. RF cascade analysis.
  All of the formulas used in RF Cascade Workbook 2005 are presented in the highly detailed User's Guide to assist in understanding the operation of the spreadsheet. Most calculations are implemented in VBA code, which makes customization more convenient and keeps clutter out of the cells. This is especially helpful in the case of conditional formulas. Expansion of the workbook to include custom calculations is a simple matter.
Note: The file is saved in a format that accommodates back through Excel 95. If you are using Excel version 2002 or newer, re-saving the file in the newer format will reduce the file to about half its current size.   The User's guide presents useful system design information such as one of the best graphical explanations of spectral inversion you will see (IMHO).

See RF Cascade Workbook 2005 in the January 2005 edition of Electronic Products Note: Version 1.11 changes the value used for testing saturation conditions from
P[sig]min to P[sig]max. This assures that the worst-case combination of
power and signal gain are accounted for.
Thanks to Ken H. for the suggestion. |
