Input capacitance

Servoed PIN diodes? Of course then you'll have to find nice dual PIN diodes with the desired minimum carrier lifetime, low enough capacitance and such. If you find suitable ones you could do this:

One goes into the RF path. The other goes into a separate amp and a pilot signal of precise amplitude is injected. This feeds some chip that has a good RSSI output and there is your servo signal you can use to offset for drift in the PIN diodes.

Depending on how drifty your stuff is and thus how much calibration range is required you may need more than one pair.

Ahh, This is more clever than what I had in mind. Say is there some trick to viewing the ASSC (sp) art? It seems like all the important spaces are left out of my view.

Switch to a monospaced font, e.g. Courier.

How about the realtionship between 'input capacitances' and frequency of the circuit? "Phil Hobbs" ??????: snipped-for-privacy@electrooptical.net...
