[time-nuts] FDA1050 distrubution amplifier

2016-08-02 Thread Ole Stender Nielsen
All, I have a Time & Frequency Solutions (Brandywine) FDA1050 distribution amplifier, the version with just one input. The board inside has actually a connector for a second input, and I would like to see if this input could be put into use. However, with no manual/schematics at hand (plus a

Gerhard, please send me the LTspice files,  so I can compare it with  some of my circuits. The Groner preamp uses feedback to adjust the dc input at the input (paralleled) FET gate(s) to adjust the dc output to zero.  It uses a small value input coupling capactor with a high value resistor to
