Nov 19, 2010 at 14:49 comment added Kortuk @Bjarke, You are correct, I should have just said 868. That is what I get for not looking at your profile.
Nov 19, 2010 at 5:52 comment added bjarkef @Kortuk: 868MHz, in the ISM band (for Europe at least, "corresponding" ISM band is 900 MHz for US I think.).
Nov 18, 2010 at 22:16 comment added Kortuk @bjarkef, what frequency are you at that you define as UFC.
Nov 18, 2010 at 21:51 comment added Kortuk @bjarkef, Thomas is incorrect here, although they are both RF related, your applications are fundamentally different. I have done both, designing a trace to be 50 ohms is very easy, getting an RF generator to match can be quite challenging.

Nov 18, 2010 at 19:34 comment added bjarkef Hi Thomas. I looked at your question, but I still do not understand how to actually measure what output impedance I have achieved, or how to design that in for that matter. Your question concerns the characteristic impedance for a transmission line. I am interested in the output impedance of a RF generator circuit (+ possibly the transmission line), and I don't understand how this relates. Please enlighten me? :)
Nov 18, 2010 at 19:21 comment added Thomas O I asked a similar question about trace impedance: electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/5778/…. I think the answer is to design in the 50 ohms impedance, not to calibrate it after manufacture.
Nov 18, 2010 at 19:20 comment added bjarkef Well, yes, I consider oscilloscopes in the hobby friendly zone. However I don't think a spectrum analyzer is in the hobby friendly zone, and I know any oscilloscope which has a high enough bandwidth to measure UHF and above (directly).
Nov 18, 2010 at 19:09 comment added Kevin Vermeer Does "Hobby Friendly" include an oscilloscope? Also, do you wish to know the physical output impedance, or calculate the theoretical output impedance?
