A noise gate placed in the signal path can be a source of IMD products, even when it is not active.
IMHO a separate noise receiver which can be tuned over a limited frequency range above the band in use to avoid "real" signals, whose output inhibits LO drive when noise is present, plus the required delay in the signal path, is a useful recipe for a noise blanker. 73, Geoff GM4ESD ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
