| The flatness of broadband IQ demodulated signals - 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. chan Post subject: The flatness of broadband IQ demodulated signals Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2008 7:52 am Captain Joined: Thu Sep 22, 2005 11:09 pm Posts: 6 hello, I have a PCB board with poor gain flatness. How to improve the flatness of broadband IQ demodulated signals? and no additional group delay deteriorated. change the coupled capacitance between amplifiers? the bias inductor? what about a High pass filter added to the circuit? what's the most effective way? Thanks! _________________ Hi Top IR Post subject: Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2008 4:23 pm Site Admin Joined: Mon Jun 27, 2005 2:02 pm Posts: 373 Location: Germany Hello chan, While it is hard to give a simple answer out of the sleeve, you have to provide some more information about your circuit: 1. Do you use broadband amplifiers in your chain? 2. Are the amplifiers already matched internally or do you use matching networks? 3. Do you use fixed attenuators (pads)? I also suggest to isolate each gain stage and check its flatness separately, by this method you might be able to find the problematic stage(s). matching for flatness does not mean that you will have the best return loss, have you designed your gain stages for optimal flatness or for optimal return loss?

In this situation, is it possible to improve the flatness? _________________ Hi Top IR Post subject: Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 4:36 pm Site Admin Joined: Mon Jun 27, 2005 2:02 pm Posts: 373 Location: Germany So now you and I know the problem. The solution is not easy. I would make a new layout. You can try to match the line impedance to the amplifier's impedance by using LC matching networks, but this again would require layout change if you have a great number of gain blocks along the chain.
