“The talk about using 18 volts for the cascode got me thinking about tube designs. When the plates need 100+V, and when the heater to cathode voltage is rated 100V max, it would be best to use a circuit that is cascode to the RF only, not the DC. One could do the same with the three 2N2222’s too. The compliance would be better and the 9 volts would be more than adequate.”<\/p>\n
I especially like the variable couplers and faraday shield between the coils. They require a lot of custom mechanical work but they do a lot for improving the performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
