* Paper - [http://w7zoi.net/bidirectional_matched_amplifier.pdf A Termination Insensitive Amplifier for Bidirectional Transceivers] - W7ZOI (Wes Hayward) design
 
* [http://w7zoi.net/transistor_models_and_the_fba.pdf Transistor Models and the Feedback Amplifier]
 
* 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
