frequency responses. Everything match. My question is related to the
practical implementation of DTC in receivers (VHF as an example). In
those receivers, I am seeing the output of the DTC going to the gate
of a FET. The gate also has a resistor (generally a few k) to ground
and CE is much higher than the calculated value.
My questioni s the following: how is this circuitry presenting a 50
ohms load to the DTC? Simulation shows that the performance of the
filter is dramatically impacted when the loading impedance diverges
from the expected value. I am basically looking for a pointer that
show me how is the filter working in these conditions.1162 2007-11-12 18:38:47 Allison Parent Re: Double-Tuned Circuits loaded with a FET
