    Electromagnetic field in modified microstri line?

    Hi to all, here comes a stupid basic question. Let us say that we have a simple traditional microstrip line (i.e. strip + substrate + ground plane). Now, here it is clear how the electromagnetic field goes. What happens if i insert a conductive sheet inside the dielectric substrate? (i.e. from...

    VNA and LCR: two instruments, one question

    Thanks for the answer. So, if I calibrate at the DUT port, after the cable has already been connected... then I do not need port extension? ... rigth?!?! As for the LCR, however, i noticed that it always asks me the length of the cable that i'm using... even after I have performed calibration...

    VNA and LCR: two instruments, one question

    Hi to all, I'm a newbie of the microwave world.... I would like to know some more details on the use of "port extension". With regards to the VNA....let us assume that I'm using the XXXX cable and that I have calibrated at the device port..... do I still have to perform "port extension"...

    [SOLVED] Diode for rectenna @ 2.45GHz

    As a matter of fact, I have to implement a power rectifier... however, the in-coming power is very low (approx. -30dBm). In your opinion, and without giving away confidential details, is there a diode that can function without bias at 2.45GHz? RIght now, I do not have limitation regarding the...

    [SOLVED] Diode for rectenna @ 2.45GHz

    I read on a datasheet that the HSMS-286X family should be used with an external bias @2.45GHz, in small signal detector applications. Can anybody suggest an alternative that works at zero-bias, @2.45 GHz for low power (<-20dBm)? As of now, I came up with these possibilities: HSMS2852, HSMS2860...

    [SOLVED] Diode for rectenna @ 2.45GHz

    Thanks a lot for the useful tips!... being a newbie of this kind of circuitry, I still have some doubts on which precise diode model should be more convenient? And in which configuration? series, common cathode....) Thanks a lot again for sharing your experience!

    DC bias to a device, and measuring the S11 with a VNA... will this damage the VNA?

    As a matter of fact, there is written "MAX +27dBm/ 30V DC"....... so it shoudl actually refer to a possible external "in-going signal" that may wonder through the device under test?

    [SOLVED] Diode for rectenna @ 2.45GHz

    Thanks a lot for the info..... do you happen to know which should be the lowest detectable power @2.45GHz...and also @860MHz? Thanks!!

    DC bias to a device, and measuring the S11 with a VNA... will this damage the VNA?

    Thanks for the answer... my VNA is the R&S ZVL-6. I really can't find the answer in the specifications. May you check if it has some built-in capabilities that preserve it when performing measurements with an external bias? The DC blocking capacitor is usually inside the VNA or external? Thanks

    [SOLVED] Diode for rectenna @ 2.45GHz

    Hi, I have to realize a rectenna @2.45GHz. Can you tell me which diode should work best? I have found this family HSMS-286X (which is zero-bias)..... has anybody tried to use these diode at such a frequency? Do you have any further/alternative suggestions? thanks

    DC bias to a device, and measuring the S11 with a VNA... will this damage the VNA?

    Good morning, I have to perform some measurements through a VNA. However, I have to bias the diode that is in the device under test. The polarization bias is very low (0.7V)...however, I'm afraid that I can damage the instrument ... Should I use anything to block the DC from going into VNA...
