Hi timenuts,
Here is an update for all of you interested by this project. According to the
emails I got, you are a lot ;-)
What if both inputs are terminated into a load (e.g. 50 ohms) rather
than a short? The input circuit in Fig 18 of the data sheet shows it
going into a diffamp (which will be pretty Hi-Z differential) and tied
through 500 ohms to the bias supply, which I assume would be (very) low
Z to ground, so the input z is a few hundred ohms or so.
Tying that straight to ground might not be the best way to put "no
input" in. That is, the amplifier isn't stable with a mismatch on the
input. Figure 27 shows a 51 ohm termination to ground (through a
decoupling cap), fed by a resistive 2 way splitter.
When you say the eval board also oscillates, is that with the VCO
removed from the circuit, or what?
