Simple Wideband RF Amplifier Circuit

  1. The feedback circuit is formed by RF transformer Tri. The input and output impedance of the preamplifier is 509 for optimum perform- ance. Network Rs-Cs may have to be added to preclude oscillation outside the pass-band, which ranges from about 100 kHz to 50 MHz.
  2. This circuit is of the second kind, using an RF power transistor as the active element.
  3. Feedback is also required to ensure correct termination . (50 Q) of the aerial, since bipolar transistors normally exhibit a low input impedance.
  4. The input winding is l turn, the out- put winding 5 turns with a tap at 3 turns. is formed by RF transformer Tri. The input and output impedance of the preamplifier is 509 for optimum performance.
  5. Network Rs-Cs may have to be added to preclude oscillation outside the pass-band, which ranges from about 100 kHz to 50 MHz. The gain is approximately 9.5 dB, the noise figure is between 2 and 3 dB, V and the third-order output intercept point is at least 50 dBm. The input/output transformer is wound on a Type FT37-75 fer- rite core from Micrometals. The input winding is l turn, the output winding 5 turns with a tap at 3 turns.
  6. Also, the noise figure is not increased because virtually no signal is lost. The common base amplifier is based on a UHF class A power Q transistor Type 2N5lO9 from Motorola.
  7. The gain is approximately 9.5 dB, the noise figure is between 2 and 3 dB, V and the third-order output intercept point is at least 50 dBm. The input/output transformer is wound on a Type FT37-75 ferrite core from Micrometals.
  8. A linear RF amplifier can be made in two ways: (l) with the aid of a linear active element, or (2) with a non-linear element operating with negative feed- back.
