432-435
GaAsFET 70CM PREAMP, 15db, .55dbNF
ARRL HB CHP 32 FIG 1
Description: This preamp offers good noise performance and gain and is suitable for terrestrial, EME, and satellite applications at 432 to 435 MHz. Gain is approximately 15db, with a noise figure of .55db. The GaAsFET is a Mitsubishi MGF1402> The MGF1402 are no longer available through normal distribution and I refuss to pay $21.00 from China. Use the MAR-4 or MAR-4+ amplifier for the substutite.
QST Nov97
Description: DC to Daylight, not quite!.The circuit uses a Mini-Circuits Lab MAR-6 that has a gain bandwidth from dc to approximately 2000Mhz with 20Db gain. The author's notes give examples of using the circuit at 432 and how to add a bandpass filter to the board. The board comes on G-10 but is available on Teflon for an increased price
QST SEPT'01
Description: This is a two board set consisting of a power supply board and a pre amp board. The amp is designed for 136 kHz but works from 10 kHz to 30 Mhz. The amp consists of a CP666 JFET with variable gate bias. The amp board is 7" x .75" and the PS board is 4.25" x 2.6"
QEX 6/04
Description: The circuit is based on Mar-6 device and 78L07 regulator The parts are all surface mounted. The price includes the chip capacitors and the chip resistor, the preamp board and the 6 boards for the housing.
