That part looks nice. Low input/output C, good to at least 400 MHz, high Idss (24 to 60 mA, lower turn on resistance), 25v drain to source rating. Pinchoff voltage has kind of a high range (-2 to -6v). It was interesting to see a typical "on" resistance near 50 ohms. That implies that most other jfets are likely 2x or 3x this value due to a lower Idss. The "on" resistance is likely why we are seeing 10 dB of conversion loss instead of something closer to 6 dB. - Dan -----Original Message----- From: minima-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:minima-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ext Steve VK2SJA Sent: Monday, March 03, 2014 4:45 PM To: minima@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [minima] Re: KISS Mixer Musings > SST/U401 VGSth matched to within 5mv I can't find that one.
