| Mini-Circuits Coaxial Amplifiers Supply Voltage? - 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. KWJohn Post subject: Mini-Circuits Coaxial Amplifiers Supply Voltage? Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2009 5:46 pm Lieutenant Joined: Fri Jul 17, 2009 5:42 pm Posts: 2 How critical is the supply voltage (15VDC or 24VDC) on Mini-circuits 50 Ohm Coaxial amplifiers? say - 5 to 500MHz 10 to 1000MHz 10 to 2500MHz Mini-circuits can't give me a spec they just say - "any well-regulated low-noise power supply". The Project Manager/Scientist where I work wants me to spec something to power these that has the same specs as Laboratory bench top grade variable power supplies with line and load regulation <0.01% of maximum output and ripple and noise <10mV P-P (constant voltage mode). But I'm not so sure if they have to be that good?

A good design practice is to use: 1. Low-noise LDO with several bypass capacitors (having different values). 2. RFC (RF Choke) connected between the RF output of the amp to the supply. Its value should give several hundreds of ohms at the lowest frequency of operation. Important: The SRF should be higher than the highest frequency of operation. 3. You can also use Ferrite Bead connected between the supply voltage and the bypass capacitors. It will help to absorb and reduce radiated and conducted noise. It is important to choose the right one in terms of frequency range and impedance. _________________ Best regards, - IR Top bradcapo Post subject: Re: Mini-Circuits Coaxial Amplifiers Supply Voltage?Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 11:35 pm Lieutenant Joined: Wed Aug 05, 2009 11:33 pm Posts: 1 Thanks for sharing this useful information.
