John, The bias on the other side makes little difference. I have done considerable experimentation on this in the last few months. Gaini's fiigure are for H-mode which is a little more elaborate setup. - f Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel -----Original Message----- From: Mvs Sarma <mvssarma@xxxxxxxxx> Sender: minima-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 10:50:57 To: <minima@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: minima@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [minima] Re: kiss mixer ???? imho, for lowering the impedance of J310, only gate source drive is sufficient and i saw capacitor blocked switches many in designs.
