Re: [Repeater-Builder] Duplexer tuning with an Oscilloscope

2008-06-22 Thread Ron Wright
Darrel, I've not used a scope for tuning duplexers, but know it can work if use the input level settings and sig gen level output adjustment. The scope is a device that can measure amplitude. Proper termination using things like dummy loads and other terminator would be required due to the

bandpass filter -- envelope detector (integrator) -- ADC The integrator would need to be able to integrate the lowest frequency allowed by the bandpass. So if I bandpass at 2-3kHz (2nd order) then I'll probably need to build the integrator to work down to 1kHz. The integrator also chops

What measurements do you want ? I can send you the spec sheet for the physical ones of the dpoles butnot the harness. if your interested. Contact me direct at de_n3dab at tds dot net -- Doug N3DAB/WPRX486/WPJL709 Mike Morris WA6ILQ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: = A local

The Motorola and think also GE voter look at the peak and valley audio to determine sig quality. If at the valley there is little audio level then very quiting signal. If noisey then at the valleys would still be noise and the peak hi to valley would be less. This is decoded by using some

Cort, Yes your high to valley low will work as I stated in another reply. Has been used by Motorola years ago. Also the rec levels from different receivers can be different since one would be looking at a ratio. 73, ron, n9ee/r From: Cort Buffington [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2008/06/20 Fri

My comment would be that any method that doesn't allow for measuring return loss at the pass frequency is subject to mistuning. In most duplexers, the pass is rather wide and if only pass measurements are being made, then the optimal tuning for input return loss cannot be made accurately.
