I recently worked on a redesign of the PA0FRI active antenna using high-speed BFR93A, BFR106, and BFR193 transistors. As a fallback in case of issues, we planned to use NXP MMBT2222A,215 transistors. Design 3D render: Schematic: Previous Next / [pdf] View the PDF file here. Simulation Results ...
Note: This HF LNA design is inspired by PY2OHH designs and mcHF work. Previous article: Single Transistor LNA for HF - it cut a corner when it came to output impedance matching ;) Design The idea that a single-transistor preamp with 10 dB gain is more than enough for HF comes from Gajendra Kumar (VU2BGS). As a new "designer," I am often overwhelmed by the available design paths, so guidance from an elmer is crucial. ...
