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. lifan Post subject: about VCO Noise Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2006 6:06 am Captain Joined: Fri Feb 10, 2006 1:20 am Posts: 10 Hello, all. I have a TX vco circuit,osc at 2.4GHz,I use it TX Video signal. I found that the video in the RX have very big noise. the noise is from TX VCO,how to reduce it ? thanks. _________________ Friends are all over the world.

In general such problem might be caused by poor PCB layout. Please provide more information so one might be able to help you. _________________ Best regards, - IR Top lifan Post subject: Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2006 9:24 pm Captain Joined: Fri Feb 10, 2006 1:20 am Posts: 10 Hello IR, Thank you for your answer. I don't know how to elaborate my circuit. If I can upload the circuit here then you can get more information,but I can't. Thank you the same! [/img] _________________ Friends are all over the world. Top lifan Post subject: another questionPosted: Sun Feb 19, 2006 11:46 pm Captain Joined: Fri Feb 10, 2006 1:20 am Posts: 10 I found another very oddity phenomena. That is : when I close to the TX module (body or hand),see the monitor which video signal is from RX module,I found that the video is distortion very easily. I stand here or there near the TX module,I always can find some point that makes the video distortion. That's very oddity ! What does my body acts here ? Am I like a magnetic field ? If yes,what can I do to resolve this problem? Thanks. _________________ Friends are all over the world.

You should shield your circuits by using shielded cans that have to be soldered to the PCB and sealed with covers. This is a common solution for RF circuits. http://www.masach.com/ Look at this company, this is an example to what I mean. _________________ Best regards, - IR Top Peter Raynald Post subject: Posted: Tue Feb 21, 2006 10:36 am Captain Joined: Tue Sep 07, 2004 3:09 pm Posts: 11 How are the TX and RX modules connected together? Are you making a transmission reception test? Are there some antennas involved? Are you blocking the signal with your body?

Top fred47 Post subject: VCO NoisePosted: Wed Feb 22, 2006 4:00 pm General Joined: Wed Feb 22, 2006 3:51 pm Posts: 104 A few questions and comments: 1. Is your system AM or FM? If AM, is it positive or negative modulation? 2. How is the video modulation accomplished? 3. Multipath is a perennial problem with video - it generally results in lower received signal strength, hence noise (and possibly distortion, based on the type of receiver and the quality of video sync). Standing between Tx and Rx reduces the strength of the direct path signal (you absorb RF energy, being mostly salt water), but doesn't affect the reflections. 4. What power level are you running? Is receiver overload an issue? 5. When you say "noise" do you mean "snow" or some kind of pattern? Thanks, and Good Luck!

The 4 MHz crystal modulates with the signals. fred47,thank you ! 1. the system is FM 2. vco oscillate at 2.4GHz, the video signal through varicap diode to change the frequency. 3. thank you. 4. TX power is about 20 dbm. I am sure the RX isn't overload. 5. Now the distortion is the main problem. Maybe I really absorb the power.That's funny. I think I possibly need to re-consider the antenna. _________________ Friends are all over the world. Posted 11/12/2012 | ||||||
