HF LINEAR RF POWER AMPLIFIER

Low pass filter

Page 3 of 5

In constructing the RF coils for The Low-pass Filter Unit which is almost a band-pass because of 3 diferent trap frequency occured in each coil, I used 3/8" OD Toroids and used a Dip meter to adjust the winding of the coil appropriate to the pre- calculated/determined notch frequency and capacitance as shown in the picture. By this I got a table chart as shown below. And thanks to Microsoft Excel that simplified the calculation jobs.

Kumparan untuk LPF yang hampir berupa BPF karena adanya 3 frekwensi jebakan disetiap kumparan, saya gulung melilit toroid ukuran 3/8 inci dan mengatur jumlah lilitan dengan menggunakan Dip meter pada frekwensi jebakan dan kapasitor yang sudah dihitung/ditentukan terlebih dahulu. Dengan ini saya memperoleh daftar seperti dibawah ini.. Dan sukur berkat Microsoft Excel menjadikan pekerjaan ini lebih mudah.
