Re: Receive Antenna & Impedance "Matching"

Dear Bill, I indeed welcome your tractation and I am glad to have found a Forum member founding his Antenna Noise analysis on the notorious ITU publication 372. I really would like you to examine my one year old work and Antenna measurement cycle based on the mentioned publication here: https://www....

2.3. A DIGRESSION - NARROW BAND PRE-SELECTORS COMPUTER SIMULATION Uploaded below Figures 6 & 7 showing simulated performance @ 4 MHz. This is an overlap, having switched from the 2-4 MHz to the 4-8 MHz band. Figure 6 (under top title) shows the following parameters: CF- Center Frequency: 4 MHz Qu -...

Re: Receive Antenna & Impedance "Matching"

CLARIFICATION ON SENSITIVITY PERFORMANCE COMPARISON RSP-1A VS. RSPduo & FOCUS ON NEGATIVE S/N 8. SDR Noise Figure performance @ 7-8 MHz Finally we can look at the 40 m Band, because on this frequency vk7jj published most of his results for WSPR reception. The SDRplay published N.F. data here is as ...

Re: Receive Antenna & Impedance "Matching"

CLARIFICATION ON SENSITIVITY PERFORMANCE COMPARISON RSP-1A VS. RSPduo & FOCUS ON NEGATIVE S/N 7. SDR Noise Figure performance @ 80 KHz A legitimate objection that could be opposed to the data published and the quantities computed in the previous post is that the SDR Noise Figures taken from the pub...

Re: Receive Antenna & Impedance "Matching"

CLARIFICATION ON SENSITIVITY PERFORMANCE COMPARISON RSP-1A VS. RSPduo & FOCUS ON NEGATIVE S/N I believe the previous two posts have introduced confusion on several important questions and with this post I wish to clarify some ESSENTIAL concepts. 1. RSP-1A and RSPduo Sensitivity & Noise Figure speci...

Re: BUILDING SELECTIVITY PROTECTION INTO THE RSP FRONT END IN LF/HF

2.3. A DIGRESSION - NARROW BAND PRE-SELECTORS COMPUTER SIMULATION In general a narrow band pre-selector consists of a tuneable single tuned bandpass L/C circuit placed between antenna output and receiver input. The inductor is wound on a Powdered Iron toroid core and the capacitor is an air variabl...
