W7ZOI Design

Paper - 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
  • Use
    • Between RF/LO mixer (IF output/input) and crystal filter
    • Between Crystal Filter and Product Detector / Balanced Modulator
