The kit for receiving satellite TV programs includes a parabolic antenna, which is installed in such a way that it falls into the line of sight from the satellite, a down converter and a tuner (indoor unit). They are connected to each other by a coaxial cable, the length of which usually should not exceed 15 ... 20 m, but in practice it happens even more. As a result, the signal arriving at the tuner is significantly attenuated, and the quality of the received image deteriorates.
To compensate for attenuation in the cable, I propose a main amplifier (Fig. 1). It is powered by the voltage injected into the cable and is switched on in the middle of the cable. The amplifier is assembled according to a single-stage scheme, its gain is at least 10 dB. It is built on a double-gate low-noise field-effect microwave transistor. The supply voltage is stabilized by a low-power IC DA1. LPF L1-C1, L3-C2 prevent self-excitation of the amplifier and ensure the passage of the supply voltage to the converter.
Rice. 1. Schematic diagram of the main amplifier
The amplifier is assembled on a printed circuit board (Fig. 2) from foil fiberglass with a thickness of 1,5 mm. All parts are SMD or conventional, with leads of minimum length (to reduce parasitic lead inductances). XW1, XW2 - connectors type "F". L4 has 2 turns of PEVTL-2 wire d0,36 mm, wound on a mandrel d2 mm, which is removed after winding.
Rice. 2. PCB
The amplifier is placed in a brass or cast duralumin case. The body is sealed after adjustment. VT1 can be replaced with a domestic 3P351A-2 (amplifier parameters should improve, but such a transistor is very difficult to find). When setting up, you may have to select the resistor R3 according to the maximum gain of the device as a whole.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven
09.05.2024
Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship
08.05.2024
Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Portable 3D printer for skin repair in wound sites
13.05.2018
Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a portable device that helps shape skin at wound sites. According to the project participants, this is the first device of its kind that allows you to apply layers of the necessary materials to the damaged area in just a few minutes.
The development is said to have the potential to make a difference in the treatment of burns and other wounds, where skin grafts are commonly used. Most modern 3D bioprinters are bulky, slow and expensive, which limits their scope. A portable printer, weighing less than a kilogram, created at the university, by contrast, is focused on clinical use. It allows the application of "biological inks", including proteinaceous materials such as collagen, directly to the affected area.
The developers plan to add new features and increase the coverage width, as well as move on to testing the device on patients.
