RSP1 susceptibility to a DC voltage on its input?
RSP1 susceptibility to a DC voltage on its input?
I have a requirement to inject a DC voltage via a BIAS T, to support in line coaxial amplifiers. Will the RSP1 accept any DC voltage on its input and if not will an inline DC coaxial blocker solve the problem?
Regards
Rob.

Hello Rob,
The RSP1 has an AC coupled input as shown here:

You will not have problems applying a DC voltage to the RF input.

Just to play devil's advocate! I'd be wary of building any bias-T without a DC blocking cap on the receiver side. It may be OK for the RSP1, but if you get into the habit of using a DC-coupled bias-T you may absent-mindedly attach it to something that is NOT AC coupled and then you'd be in trouble. Just think if you bunged it on your expensive spectrum analyser or similar!
If you are building a bias-T, I'd recommend just putting a 10n 63v cap in the signal line to the output just to play safe.

To Tech Support and g1hbe: Thank you for the information, it was a great help and given me more thought on the subject.
