W7ZOI Design

  • A Termination Insensitive Amplifier for Bidirectional Transceivers - W7ZOI (Wes Hayward) design
    • Termination Insensitive - input impedance that does not depend upon the output load
    • Bi-directional - amplifiers in both directions
    • 50 ohms in/out
      • BNC or SMA Connectors
    • Transformer-less
    • Power applied to one half at a time - determines signal flow direction
