DC block suing Transmission lines - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi guys...I am the same guy asking question about stubs, etc. I have another question and I will appreciate if someone can answer this question for me. I am working at a frequency where I don't have good enough capacitor so I can't use caps for DC block/AC coupling. How do you get DC block using transmission line. Like quarter-wave is AC choke, what's DC block? Thanks

Use an xacto knife and cut the the transmissionline in half. If you want to get fancy you could a interdigital gap or edge or broadside coupled gap.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
