Super advice Ed, this is really really good advice. Erik this is sage advice. especially CMR at high frequencies... Oh and now LED lights overhead your bench which are driven at 5-50kHz are are next new coupling of noise into your open bench circuits !!! Glen. (RF engineer) On 13/07/2022

I've ALWAYS used an op-amp to nail down the half rail supply, I never use the two resistors and cap idea directly  unless the whole thing is quite basic Just don't put bulk capacitance on the output ! like I have seen in some bad designs. ROFL. Some op-amps are better at this than

how about grounded grid ? Bob can you get  better isolation with a vaccuum tube cascode than a solid state cascode ? -glen On 07/07/2022 15:22, Bob kb8tq via time-nuts wrote: Hi On Jul 6, 2022, at 1:53 PM, Richard Karlquist via time-nuts wrote: The 2N5179 has high base spreading

Carsten, around the edges of the patch are all fringing fields, so the required coupling to the plane may be quite low, depending on the design. The compromised ground plane may also be permitting some rear size pickup - multipath ! I'll do some EM modelling later to try and put some numbers

Fantastic Work John ! What info this is for me is that I could have in simple applications, have the (following) PLL loop bandwidth high enough  to deal with most low frequency microphonics ... and still not pass too much spur noise 1 kHz and up. -glen On 01/06/2022 03:49, John Ackermann

Hi Bob Yeah.  because we essentially have a sampled system, so I expect multiples of the injection source. This is a sample rate clock, and so spurs that fall at 50% of the sample rate are OK. spurs that fall at 25% of the sample clock will appear in the PB. Which really tells me I need to
