Improvements 2007Amplifier (noise)PCB length8.35 MHz (band filter)Han Voet, VU Amsterdam
Test resultsConversion gainsApply 6.260000 MHz on Ref, 6.260100 MHz on RFLow 2.75, mid low 25, mid high 230, high 2000Cross talkApply 6.26 MHZ (8.35 MHz) to both reference inputs. Apply RF signal one channel (vertical/horizontal). Board 4, 5: H/V I & Q out < 0.3% of V/HI & Q phase 90 degree phase shiftMeasured with a 50 Hz beat frequency output signal on the I & Q outputsPhase deviation smaller than 1.5 degrEquivalent input noise1 nV/rtHz (to be confirmed)Discussion: replace all demod boards
