Transformers get Current noise is in the ballpark of 4.5 pA/rtHz, which makes it approximately to noise-match with a 50ohm source at an order-of 40K noise temperature. The frequency range extends at least up to 100 MHz but probably still much higher, even with the tranquilizers present. I have had difficulties to wind really wideband transformers on low-loss cores in the past. The sporadic commercial transformers I've tried tended to have to high-enough losses to eat the noise temp. > interesting in such situations, or *lots* of opamps or jfets in > parallel, which will be better at low frequencies. True, done that in the past, with BF862's for instance. It just gets complicated, and in wideband designs you may create curious oscillation modes. In the sub-10kHz you can indeed do better with some other amps. Regards, Mikko

This one has got to be in there, very low pinch-off JFET, steep enough to start an oscillator from less voltage than a fuel cell provides. Very useful. How could I have forgotten, oh, this will haunt me, the wrath of the old Philips engineers will come upon me ... -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

I have several each of CK722, CK760 and CK761 (if I can remember where I stashed them :-).
