Mini-Circuits App Notes
From Jason, NT7S, via the qrp-l.org mailing list:
I thought I would share a nice resource that I found earlier when I
was doing some research at work. Mini-Circuits (the guys who make the
SBL-1 DBM, plus other RF goodies) has a great list of reference
material on their application notes page:Among some of the best documents on the page:
- Return loss vs. VSWR table
- dBm - volts - watts conversion table
- The Effect of VSWR on Transmitted Power
- Biasing MMIC Amplifiers (e.g. ERA SERIES)
- Understanding mixers
- Definition of mixer terms
- VCO fundementals and concepts
- Phase locked loop fundamentals
If you do any homebrewing, then this site is worth bookmarking.
