alt Hacker NewsI’m away from computer so only skimmed the article until I noticed they use the ADG90x RF switch family.
IIRC that family has a single positive supply rail, and they make a nagative rail internally. The advantage is easy of implementation but you also inject some noise depending on switch position. Is this dealt with in the pub?
They do conduct an experiment to control for both switching noise, or other feed-through transmissions. They put two 50 ohm terminators on as the load, and find the receiver gets nothing. They also try cooling down one of the loads in liquid hydrogen, and the transmission resumes.
