    Bipolar transistor availability

    Am I the only one wondering why production of RF transistors in SC-70 or SOT323 package is becomming obsolete at almost all vendors? The only exceptions (without EOL) I can find is the BFU5*0 series from NXP.

    RF Limiter not working as it should

    Use PIN switch diodes and it will work - that is, if you control the bias current from some sort of AGC.

    How to protect RF amplifier against open/short??

    I could come up with a "rough" approach. Make the output power twice what you need and mount a power 3dB attenuator. At least it will reduce the worst case VSWR. Not very smart though....

    Adjacent channel rejection in EN 300 113

    Does anyone in this forum has experience with the EU standard EN 300 113? In the latest version of the standard levels of unwanted signals have been changed from a ratio to a specific level in (dBm). My modulation is 4QAM and I cannot comply with the adjacent channel rejection.

    DC block connector vs capacitor

    Typically I use a simple ceramic capacitor for DC block, but hey, it is all about the frequency range necessary and the alowable series inductance.

    Intermodulation after TIA-603c methode

    You are right about the SG data but I am talking about PM receiver IM - No SA is involved only an audio distortion meter!

    Intermodulation after TIA-603c methode

    I am attempting to achieve IM spec. of 85dB after TIA-603. That is: 12dB SINAD +3dB reduced to 12dB again. Frequency is VHF band. The two interferring signals must be 50KHz and 100KHz from center, but this close to the wanted signal makes the result of the measurement more like generator...

    Should a good RF engineer have a soldering capability?

    I have been an RF engineer all my life. It all started 53 years ago with soldering proficiency along with teaching Ohms law. Everything else comes after that. Danish engineer, 70 years old.

    Pls recommend a PA for 2W/450M/LTE application

    I have used PD55015 from SG to deliver 4W mean or 12W peak in class B. There is also a smaller version PD55008.

    [SOLVED] small helix-antenna tunning

    My guess is that tracks on the PCB provide some of the inductance for the antenna.

    Best BJT transistor for low noise VCO 500MHz

    What are your suggestions?

    Divider-by-2 purpose in Synthesizer

    It is widely used i simplex transceivers. A fast transition between receiver and transmitter is possible if TX VCO is in lock on RX frequency x2. Receiver does not hear its own transmitter VCO until the divider is turned on.

    meassuring receiver IM

    In general, maybe, but the measuring proceedure in this case is determined by the standard. The two unwanted signals must be adjusted to a reduction of signal/noise ratio to 14dB.

    meassuring receiver IM

    Does anyone here have comments on the following subject: Analog UHF receiver intermodulation meassurement according to ETSI 300 086 shall be performed at 25/50 KHz and 50/100 KHz from wanted channel. When one of the interfearing generators is only 25 KHz from wanted channel, the side band...

    ADF4110 PLL Reference Clock

    Why on earth do you want to put so much power into a PLL? Most PLL's are senstitive on clock inputs. How about one or two resistors?
