Yeah and you almost have an inkling of human intelligence.

Then you go off all palsy wowsy with the group retard. The pommy bitch is a troll, dumbshit.

Sheesh...

You're AlwayWrong as usual. I've repaired plenty of HP/Agilent generators that have switchers in them. Why don't you download a service manual for an HP 8563E/EC and see for yourself?

SMPS have improved greatly during the years. In the old days SMPS was a no-no in high quality audio applications or for powering amateur radio HF-transceivers.

These days dithering the switching frequency or manually adjusting the switching frequency will either blend the spurs into background noise or at least move spurs out of desired reception frequency range.

However, based on the original question, the OP might be able with some help to construct a quiet linear (50/60 Hz) PS, but absolutely not a quiet SMPS.

We are using envelope tracking and DPD. A good old fashioned EMI filter properly designed and placed at various locations in a design also serves well.

Of course he was. He was looking for a description of you:

Some opamps have terrible high-frequency PSRR. Some have negative PSRR in some configurations, namely gain from a supply rail to the output.

Yup. Negative PSR is often putrid on 'single supply' op amps, for instance. Others are pretty good, e.g. the LME49990 (100 dB @ 20 kHz).

It's nice to be able to use the analogue supply rail for biasing, especially with a single supply, which is another argument for *ahem* advanced filtering. ;)

Oops. That's a SA, but the same holds true for generators as well. Got my 856X mixed up with 866X.

Yup. I fix the T & M equipment (that incompetent pinheads like you blow up on a daily basis) for several large-ish used equipment dealers. Pay is excellent, and very little paperwork which I loathe. Best of all, I do it at home.

Anyway...

Care to address this particular piece of idiocy, or would you like to admit you were wrong, AW?

Well, be that as it may, several designers here have been able to interpret the original, simple question without difficulty and have provided precisely the pointers I was looking for - and I'm most grateful to them. It's a shame some other folks have a basic English comprehension problem; perhaps it's not their first language, but that's life I guess. :-/

Just bought a 40GHz generator last week. Guess what type of supply it has.

Oh, that's right... you are too stupid to work with anything in that frequency range.

Just WTF do you think 'high end' means, chump?

In a linear supply, since the ripple will be squashed to nice, clean 
DC by the regulator following the reservoir cap(s), the type of 
capacitor doesn't matter as much as its value, since that'll determine 
the headroom available for the regulator to work under.

Yes. One must match the stored energy with the expected loading.

With HV supplies this is especially true. The multiplier caps scale up with the load demands as does the final storage bank.

I don't guess. Why don't you tell me what the model number is? I'll be happy to admit I was wrong, unlike you.

Says the utter idiot who refers to someone as "AW".

Seems it fits you more so than anyone in your pathetic dreams.

Wiltron 6669A-40 A $50k 40GHz sweep generator way outside your realm.

You lose... again.
