static protection resistor
Hi guys.. this is my first post here.
Sorry for my english. hope you can understand me.
BTW: I'm not a technician or anything.
I live in Argentina, where we still have analog CATV. The other day I measured the voltage that my cable company sends through the coax cable. To my suprise, it was 1.1v and sometimes fluctuating to 2.0v!
I guess I know now why a TV set of mine died on me last month.
Any how, I came up with a filter to get rid of the current and just let the RF signal through.
Here's my schematic:
**broken link removed**
Voltage is down to 0, of course due to the caps.
But something is wrong. We have approx 70 channels here, so:
1- channels from 2 to about 10 have very poor quality
2. channels from 20 to 30. poor.
3- 50 and up, poor.
I guess its the caps I'm using that is blocking or interfering with some of the frequencies.
Any suggestions guys?
Thanks!
