    And here I was thinking I had to pay for 4 layer impedance control PCBs to do RF. This guy does it with toner transfer! Love this channel ❤️

    Gregory , you are killing me by your very high level of professionality on all aspect of EE although you are not in this profession as you said to me earlier ... I just wonder why could not you work for RF telecom production companies with all these skills ?? ... For me , an engineering certificate is meaningless after watching you ...

    When I did my translation loops, I went on ebay to buy a piece of "for parts, not working" network or spectrum analyzer or uwave synthesizer for the sampler. I never thought of one could actually made one at home. I will try that following your approach. Joining your Patreon.

    lo has comparado con los nano VNA?
    Vi tu video una vez mas porque estoy intentandp diseñar una etapa dce osciloscopio con barrido equivalente, basado en tu sampler.

    Beatuiful.
    How do you design your microstrip filters? I like to use QUCS however it can be a bit tricky at times since it can't show you how the design is supposed to look.
    It is coming together nicely.
    The VNA is really beatiful, the 7 segment LED displays are an interesting contrast to the green CRT.

    HI! this is a beautiful project. I would be interested in reproducing the sampler to lock my HP 86290C. Do you think that as it is it can work decently up to 6GHz? I would like to have a diagram, or at least the abbreviation of the balun you used. Thank you so much for your kindness!

    • @AllElectronicsChannel
      @AllElectronicsChannel  6 месяцев назад

      Yes, absolutely think would be possible. I'm traveling and don't have access to the diagram right now. The balun man, is probably a network balun, I bought from surplus. So.. Conclusions is: try it, iterate.. Don't lose much time thinking about parts, you will also learn a lot on the process. Greg.

    Hello Gregory! Very good lessons about frequency! Thank you for sharing so much information. I'm trying to build a frequency divider that could be used to measure a GHz signal with a 100MHz osciloscope. I've been tinkering with some circuits using decade counters, flip-flops, but they all fail to bring a GHz signal down because they are mostly intented for 1MHz to 60MHz frequencies. Do you know what is the best way to achieve this?

    • @AllElectronicsChannel
      @AllElectronicsChannel  Год назад

      Hi Cesar, frequency dividers for GHz frequencies are called prescalers, make a search on google.

      I don't have a specific seller. Actually I remember the seller of the SRD, is TILICHIP.
      Some sellers send fake parts, so I aways buy from more than one. PIN diodes where always good, the SRD also.
      BAT15-099 Bridge I got good, I think there is only one seller of them in aliexpress.
      One that is difficult is BAT15-03W, I have bought 2 or 3 times from different sellers and always got fake parts

    Nice work!
    The tripler looks like it uses BFP620 transistors.
    What sampling diodes are you using? Are they a pair of BAT15?
    It is impressive how much performance you have from designs that look so simple, on FR-4! Like the Tektronix S-4 and S-6 from the late 1960s and early 1970s!

    • @AllElectronicsChannel

      Thanks!! Yep, they are BFP620! The bridge is a HSMS 8202, the full schematics I posted on Patreon

      Hahahaha it may interfere a bit.. you need position the things with care to reduce. In this case the balanced design helps a lot to cancel some leakages

      I'm almot always using two signal generators and 1 spectrum analyzer. Two power supplies at least. And take a look at the noise generated by LED lights, sometimes I need to turn off my LED panels to make measurements.

      The proper way would be using a 10ghz VNA.. nevertheless is difficult to test this is circuit, because you need to place conectors and test prints that would change the behavior of the circuit

    How to work with such a high frequencies? 1 pF capacitor has impedance 15 Ohm, 2.5nH inductor (1mm length of 1mm diameter wire) has impedance 18 Ohm... Any millimeter of wire can leads to parasitic oscillation in an amplifier.... I made only FM transmitter 100MHz, and 5mm of wire increase SWR. But what we will have in 10GHz? Any micrometer influences on SWR in a cable?
