Re: Spectrum Analyser
I was building something-or-other a while ago and I ended up with an unused *but still powered* emitter follower onboard. It had a length of RG174 coax on its emitter. I'm sure we can all see what's comng!
The project was showing some nasty behaviour and some strange noises-off. And I noticed a large spike on the analyser around 100 MHz. It was remarkably stable. It turned out that the emitter follower was happily honking to itself at a frequency determined by the length of the coax.
