Line Injector

This repository contains the schematics and mechanical files for a line injector. A line can be used to inject a ripple voltage into the supply line of a circuit. This can, for example, be used to measure the power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of a regulator.

Key Features:

  • Bandwidth (-3 dB): 6 Hz - 35 MHz (into 50 Ω)
  • Passband transfer function is about 0.95 V/V (@ 5V) and 0.975 V/V (@ 15V)
  • Maximum input voltage: 50 V
  • Maximum current: 5 A
  • Remote sensing inputs to compensate for the voltage drop over the MOSFET
