| Selecting inductor for bias-tee application - 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. cajoyce Post subject: Selecting inductor for bias-tee application Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2006 12:03 pm Lieutenant Joined: Fri Jun 23, 2006 11:12 am Posts: 2 I need to implement a bias-tee in a 50 Ohm, 900 MHz circuit to extract a logic signal superimposed on the RF signal. As a coupling capacitor is already present in the existing circuit, I only need to add an inductor to tap the DC off the composite signal. Two questions: 1. Should the inductor value be set to render the DC tap high impedance at 900 MHz, say 500 Ohms or greater? 2. What are the guidelines for considering the inductor's Self Resonant Frequency? I gather that this is the frequency beyond which the inductor no longer behaves as an inductor due to parasitic capacitance? In this 900 MHz application what would be the minimum safe value for Self Resonant Frequency? _________________ Thanks... ...Christopher Top IR Post subject: Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2006 3:56 pm Site Admin Joined: Mon Jun 27, 2005 2:02 pm Posts: 373 Location: Germany Hi cajoyce, The answers are below your questions: Quote: Should the inductor value be set to render the DC tap high impedance at 900 MHz, say 500 Ohms or greater? Yes. Quote: 2. What are the guidelines for considering the inductor's Self Resonant Frequency? I gather that this is the frequency beyond which the inductor no longer behaves as an inductor due to parasitic capacitance? In this 900 MHz application what would be the minimum safe value for Self Resonant Frequency? Yes, the Self-Resonance frequency is the frequency at which the parasitic capacitance form a resonance circuit with the inductor. For 900MHz frequency I would choose 1.5GHz and higher as SRF. Good luck! _________________ Best regards, - IR Top cajoyce Post subject: Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2006 6:40 pm Lieutenant Joined: Fri Jun 23, 2006 11:12 am Posts: 2 IR, Thanks very much for your prompt and informative response. ...Christopher Top nubbage Post subject: selecting inductor for bias-Tee applicationPosted: Tue Jun 27, 2006 2:52 am General Joined: Fri Feb 17, 2006 12:07 pm Posts: 218 Location: London UK The reactance of the inductor at the operating frequency should be at least ten times the circuit impedance level. Care also needs to be taken with choice of bypass capacitor since this can also have resonant frequencies due to internal inductance. I have seen articles that give guidelines on parameters, published in trade mags like RF & Microwaves, MWJ etc Top Jeanalmira Post subject: Posted: Tue Jun 27, 2006 10:58 pm General Joined: Tue Mar 15, 2005 11:43 pm Posts: 65 Location: Singapore Hi : the following application note might be useful information on high power device biasing consideration. http://www.eudyna.com/e/products_e/appl ... cation.pdf I hope it helps Cheers, Jean Posted 11/12/2012 | ||||||
