The ferrite loaded mast cable is obviously there for common mode rejection. As such, the CM can only be sourced form unbalanced baluns at the antenna, or from the imbalanced complex impedance variance caused from the mutual inductance of the antenae over the ground plane. An antenna expert such as

A1. Since concrete is partly conductive and varies with mositure content and ambient conditions, the reflected path with vary substantially. The solution is to place a screen mesh over the top of the concrete. A2. The specified size is that of the elipse which is 2d by root3d. A practical size is

New CISPR 22 limits 1GHz

There is a round of voting ongoing at this time for a new set of CISPR 22 limits for measurements above 1GHz. They are rumoured to be quite interesting and substantially different from anything the FCC has been doing for years, including the required anechoic chamber (vs semianechoic most of us

---BeginMessage--- when using a log value, A +/- xdB, the tolerance is a percentage of value A rather than an absolute range independent of A. Makes sense to me! Hans ---End Message---

I have encountered certain European agencies requesting that not only are the conducted emissions required to be performed at 230V 50Hz but radiated emissions as well. I agree that for conducted emissions it may make a difference but I have not seen radiated emissions change when the power source

Re: Tantalum Capacitors

Tantalums give you the advantage of a high Capacitance per unit volume. Their reliability is proportional to the applied voltage versus rated voltage, operating temperature versus rated temperature and power dissipation (Vripple*2*pi*f*C) The do most often fail in a short circuit. They should be

What if the little green Italian sports car, happened to resonate at 433. MHz? And, with a reasonable Q? Then, your weak 3rd harmonic, will retransmit from the sports car and your receiver will pick it up. I contend that it is your Tx output filter that is not performing. Do a conducted emissions

There used to be a special plastic shoulder washer used in exactly this application (The washer has a crossection resembling the letter T). This solved the clearance and creepage problem. It fits inside the hole of the TO-220. Hans

In general reliability terms, one connector is better than two. But, if the lack of connector allows for warpage and hence, reduced contact pressure at certain locations, then it is a toss-up. Secondly, without the use of the second connector, the pad contact material becomes significantly

The best way to design a filter is to establish the performance criteria first. Determine the source impedance Determine the load impedance Determine the attenuation required and at what frequency Determine the roll-off required Now you can determine what order filter you need and whether it is
