I need to implement a bias-tee
in a 50 Ohm, 900 MHz circuit to extract a logic signal superimposed
on the RF signal. As a coupling capacitor is already present in the
existing circuit, I only need to add an inductor to tap the DC off the
composite signal. Two questions:
1. Should the inductor value
be set to render the DC tap high impedance at 900 MHz, say 500 Ohms
or greater?
2. What are the guidelines for considering the inductor's
Self Resonant Frequency? I gather that this is the frequency beyond
which the inductor no longer behaves as an inductor due to parasitic
capacitance? In this 900 MHz application what would be the minimum safe
value for Self Resonant Frequency?

Hi cajoyce,
The answers are below your questions:

Yes.

Frequency?
Yes, the Self-Resonance frequency is
the frequency at which the parasitic capacitance form a resonance circuit
with the inductor. For 900MHz frequency I would choose 1.5GHz and higher
as SRF.
Good luck!

The reactance
of the inductor at the operating frequency should be at least ten times
the circuit impedance level.
Care also needs to be taken with
choice of bypass capacitor since this can also have resonant frequencies
due to internal inductance.
I have seen articles that give guidelines
on parameters, published in trade mags like RF & Microwaves, MWJ
etc

Hi :
the
following application note might be useful information on high power
device biasing consideration.
