Alright, not illegal, but speak in terms on db. Ive seen many sites that use dB as a measure for signal strength. Recently Ive come across a passive wifi repeater. I though what if I could use a small amp to amplify the signal to compensate for losses?
If the orignal signal was 15dB and the signal coming in to the repeater was 10dB and I had a 5 db amp, the signal would be restored to it orignal db.
Now, we all know wifi is either 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz. What is Fc when speaking in terms of a transistor? I see Fco of 500Mhz and 300Mhz. What is it? Is it the max freq the transistor can amplify before gain is less than 1? Whats Ft? (not feet) It has a number in Ghz next to it.
So If I were to design this amp, I would need a transistor of a Fc greater than 5Ghz Correct? I was going to use (err bare with me here..it uses a voltage divider circuit on the base, and the output is taken off the collector..) Common emiter? amp.
Would I also need a Bandpass Filter(class C amp) for 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz so no new noise gets introduced? When they say 2.4Ghz do they mean the carrier signal?
