Impedance Matching
« on: August 28, 2008, 08:57:14 PM »
question sa mga RF engineers at mahilig sa RF.

'yung device kasi 50 ohms ang impedance tapos 75 ohms 'yung coax. kailangan ko ng wideband matching (halos DC to 1GHz ;D), resistive network 'yung una kong design (L-pad) dahil pinaka-simple (at pinakamura ;D). based sa mga texts, insertion loss nung resistive network 5.7dB lumalabas. kapag hindi ako nagmatch 0.177dB naman ang mismatch loss. is it really worth to match the impedances kahit na halos 1/4 na lang ang matitira sa akin sa resistive network o ok na 'yung mismatched at 0.177dB mismatch loss and VSWR of 1.5:1?

pwede ko pa rin namang i-consider ang LC matching, pero mukhang mababa naman na 'yung VSWR at mismatch loss. sa ngayon lalagyan ko lang muna ng provision para sa L-network kung sakali mang ima-match ko.

mukhang maliit lang naman ang mismatch loss...pwede na po siguro

kung di naman po kayo nasasayangan sa power ok na yun, di po ba maximum  power transfer lang naman ang purpose natin sa matching, di naman po siguro ganun kasignificant ang heat na maproproduce ng untransfered energy due to mismatch...

maliit lang 'yun. nasa -20dBm lang 'yung signal ko. ;D

pero di ko po kasi alam ang long term effects ng mismatch, pero since mababa lang...teka research muna ako...

'yan din ang concern ko, puro theory at concepts lang kasi ang alam ko pagdating sa matataas na frequency, in practice wala akong alam kung ok na bang palagpasin 'yun. theoretically kasi mababa naman parehas ang mismatch loss at VSWR (sa ibang device pwedeng 4:1 ang VSWR at acceptable pa rin).

isa ko pang problema, walang Network Analyzer sa office. kapa kapa lang. ;D

pupugak pugak rin ang VNA dito, at di ko pa natry ang mismatch, well sana ma try ko to hahaha

ewan, matagal nang nilalait ng electronix yung HP naming VNA,kelangan na daw palitan, kasi nagbebenta sila ng VNA na 2M ang isa...nagdemo sila sa amin as if naman kami ang may K bumili, strategy is that ma-amaze kami para mapilitan ang lab head namin na i-endorse sa Admin na bumili nito, o well...

sir, meron namang 50 ohms na coax, dapat ba talagang 75 ohms ang coax na gagamitin? 1.5:1 na vswr ok naman ito, pero mas maganda kung kaya pang ibaba. ang long term effect ng mataas ang vswr ay masisira ang rf amp. ng device. ano ba gamit ng device mo sir?

75 ohm coax kasi 'yung panggagalingan ('yun ang ipro-provide nila, ayaw nilang magpalit sa 50 ohm coax).

50 ohm input nung LNA, medyo mababa naman input kapag mineasure, nasa -70 to -80 dBm siguro.

Okay naman ata yan na mismatch, kasi mas malaki yong coax imp kay sa device saka min lang ang VSWR, matanong ko lang RX at TX ba ang device mo?
It's difficult to see the picture when you're inside the frame.

ang mangyayari, ipapasok 'yung device sa pagitan nung 75 ohm coax. wideband input kaya hindi ko magamitan ng reactive matching (medyo maraming passives kapag pinilit kong gamitan ng reactive match 'yung buong band), resistive lang ang simpleng design. tapos ilalabas ko ulit papunta sa 75 ohm coax. wala na akong problem sa output, medyo mas madali i-match.

sir sa CATV ba ang paggagamitan ng device? yung mini circuits device(MAR-X) mukhang sakto dyan sa project mo. sir kung nadadalian ka sa output matching, yun din ang gamitin mo sa input. reverse mo lang yung input output. kailangan mo talagang imatch yan kasi ang hina ng signal input mo, baka humina pa yan dahil sa mismatch..

'yung output ko kasi narrowband na kaya madali ang matching. thanks.

meron akong amp din from mini circuits ERA-x. 'yun kasi 'yung medyo marami.

sa ngayon, wind muna ako ng transformer para sa experiments. ;D
