I need around 1pF input capacitance and 1 Meg Ohm, Frequency up to a couple of hundred MHz. These specs are probably rather optimistic, in my opinion. I would probably consider something like a large resistor in series with the input of a cascode amplifier (cascode chosen to reduce effective input capacitance due to feedback). Or perhaps a resistive voltage divider, rather than just a series resistor, in an attempt to get flat response over frequency. But there really is no such thing as a 1 Meg resistor at VHF. The stray capacitance across resistors limits the maximum achievable impedance to perhaps tens of kilohms. However, I'm not expert on such circuits. You might try posting the question to sci.electronics.design. There are some very clever electronic designers there (along with a number who get their jollies from insulting others). Steve VE3SMA |
