| Buffer -- to 50Ohm PCB constraint - RF Cafe Forums | ||||||
|
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts. Xconnect Post subject: Buffer -- to 50Ohm PCB constraint Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 12:29 am Lieutenant Joined: Thu Jan 08, 2009 10:27 pm Posts: 2 I have a buffer output (1MHz output at max) that needs to connect to a 50Ohm line (that runs the length of the PCB board)to be measured for frequency. There is about 6inches between the connector edge of this buffer output to the point where it meets up(becomes 50 ohms) on the PCB stripline. At these low frequencies is it still worthwhile to establish the 50 ohm impedance closer to the connector or perhaps just using a low value series R close to the connector will suffice to mitigate reflections to the frequency counter?

I have often made these up from carbon film surface mount chip resistors; they give enough isolation against mismatches to avoid problems _________________ At bottom, life is all about Sucking in and blowing out.
