    Input matching network design

    Well can't argue with Kafeman this time :( But I'm glad dragonolji is optimistic!

    Input matching network design

    Ah! Yes, I can see where the trouble lies. I guess I assumed one didn't have to use a PCB for the circuit, just if one could. My mistake. ---------- Post added at 16:00 ---------- Previous post was at 15:53 ---------- So, I don't know much about inductance caused by PCB lines, but this ADI...

    Mathematical equations

    This should probably be posted in the analog circuit design section.

    Input matching network design

    What about a thin film inductor from Digikey? The listed 680 pH inductor has a Q of 50 at 1.9 GHz (which is basically the frequency of interest).

    Input matching network design

    Right. But it sounds like adnan012 is trying to do the following : 50 ohms -> matching network -> Z=(1.33+j*0.193) Where the matching network in question is a shunt capacitor and an inductor in series which would be an L match. Assuming the L match values were computed correctly (to match...

    Input matching network design

    Isn't the inductor in question part of the matching network not a characteristic of the antenna?

    Input matching network design

    I'm no expert in matching by any stretch of the imagination, but if you find an unrealizable or difficult to realize component value, I was under the impression that you could attempt to use a different matching network type. Does ADS allow you to choose other match network types? Shunt...

    THD Calculation of a Sine wave in Matlab

    I figured as much. But if you know the fundamental then you're all set. Are you saying you don't assume anything about the input? If so, why not implement a peak search in the frequency spectrum and assume the lowest frequency peak (non-DC) is the fundamental.

    Discuss about designing Common emitter ciruit

    I think this is correct. I'm not sure what your BJT model is, but usually there is also a minimum Vce_Saturated that the BJT can have as well which would just change your minimum voltage at the collector to be something slightly higher than 3.3V Also, just one question, usually Ib is the...

    Operational amplifier - How to calculate using Blackman equation?

    This might not give you everything you need but check out TI's app note on op amps. **broken link removed** There's way more information than you actually need here and sometimes direct connections between Black's formula and the values are not made (I think the reduced output resistance...

    THD Calculation of a Sine wave in Matlab

    Hi there, If you have your output signal as a vector and you already know the fundamental, I would suggest zero padding the vector (adding zeros to the beginning of the vector and the end, in order to increase your FFT resolution) and taking the FFT. Zero padding may not be necessary...

    Common results from superposition of dependent sources/feedback diagrams

    Thanks for the papers DenisMark, this is exactly what sort of suggestions I was hoping for from this post! Looking forward to reading the papers. Applying "signal flow graphs" to common oscillator topologies would be especially neat. Thanks!

    Common results from superposition of dependent sources/feedback diagrams

    Hey all, So, I think this is probably one of the neatest analysis tools I've seen. Using superposition of dependent sources and drawing a feedback diagram, producing some common results. I've seen it used to determine the output resistance of a source degenerated FET/cascode which I included...

    op amp two stage stability

    It looks like the inputs to the op amp are in phase (both have a .5 V ac) varying together so you could be looking at the common mode AC gain with the analysis? Unless the slight mismatch, which would be amplified by the differential circuit, is amplified enough to rail the op amp (not sure...

    op amp two stage stability

    Hi there, For typical two-stage op amp miller compensation, R2 and C1 should be between the output of the first stage to the output of the second stage. It looks as though R2 has been chosen to be quite high to push the right half plane zero well into the left half plane which will not only...
