Hello Andy, The equivelent length is 30 cm, representing about 2-3 pF. The buffer amp is using a J310 with a 1.5 M gate resistor. Using bootstrap techniques, one can achieve a very low input capacita
This is one way to start but maybe the 50Hz and it's harmonics could cause problems to the soundcard? Maybe it is useful to apply a simple LC-bandpass and/or a resonated antenna (wire, L and parallel
Yes, but what is the gain / antenna factor of your Miniwhip? Measuing -115dBm means little in itself, you need to convert this to a calibrated V/m form. IF the miniwhip were exactly 1m long and po
Hello Andy, I measured the noise on 8800 Hz received on my mini-whip. Receiver: SPM-30, BW = 24 Hz, noise level = -115 dBm The same measurement with a PERSEUS SDR and a bandwidth of 20 Hz revealed a
