Advantages of a differential vs. a single-ended receiver?

More dynamic range because the available amplitude doubles. Other than that it's usually done for better noise immunity and less EMC issues.

** What sort of " receiver " are you on about?

Kindly supply a link to an example.

BTW

Please be more vague in future.

Sorry Phil, but I don't supply *anything* to poor, sad, lonely trolls.

Thanks Joerg and Eeyore -- differential circuits have always been a bit of a mystery to me!

It must be nice for Phil, knowing that he is so much cleverer than the rest of the world.

I can't imagine how much nicer it would be for him if he could feel himself more polite than the rest of the world in the same proportion, mainly because my imagination isn't even up to the job of conceiving Phil as ever being merely surly, as opposed to rabidly offensive.

I sincerely hope an agonising death awaits him real soon.

Cos no-one deserves that more richly than he.

I puke on his grave.

Hey Phil, you do know Bill is an ocker, right?

In digital junk, differential has better signal fidelity. No ground bounce issues.

One quick question: Do you have to use a single-ended input to begin with?

You can of course eliminate the balun if you start with a balanced antenna, which is advantageous in that true balanced antennas tend to be less sensitive to detuning/radiation pattern changes due to "proximity with people/random objects" effects than something like a sleeve dipole is.

Hi Joel,

Yes, that is a good idea, but unfortunately the input filter to the receiver is single-ended (as will be the antenna (a chip-type)), so a balun is needed into this darn differential receiver.

Thanks,

Dear Phil, Do you have a PhD? Your expert use of the english language has impressed us all here. My wife suggests, however, that the ancient Maori custom of squatting over your opponents grave, and urinating thereon, would be a more customary method. I am sorry that you seem not to favour the balanced approach to feeding a receiver, but are a proponent of coax. I have never, in my life, found a person with such strong views on the matter though. From your comments it is clear to all of us here that your parents were never married, and, at this late stage, none of us are sure that if they did, it would help you now. All the best......Don Meriam, Philip, Joanna, and Jacquelyn.

Killing off all the remaining white scum the infest in NZ is one of their best ideas.

Soon be a fairly trivial task - just out vote them and make the into second class citizens.

Poetic justice.

Well, yeah, when you hit the left-hand rail, everyone to the right looks like a fascist/nazi, and when you hit the right-hand rail, everyone to the left looks like a socialist/communist/terrorist. ;-)

The view from the +Freedom axis was interesting for awhile, but nowadays it's primarily boring, since there are so few people remaining in the world who actually believe in Freedom; almost everybody seems to be stuck at one extreme or the other. )-;

I either read somewhere, or saw on edjamacashual teevee, that the Dutch were the primary slave traders for the colonistss.

But, heck, slavery had been de rigeur for hundreds, if not thousands of years - to the colonists, they (the slaves) were just merchandise.

I think that those people who are still whining about "slavery", 100 or so years after the Emancipation Proclamation, shoould really be bitching at their African neibhbors who captured them and sold them to the Dutch in the first place.

Thanks, Rich
