2n3819 Mosfet Rf amp

Using Arduino General Electronics

Hi

I would like to know how to get a 2N3819 transistor to amplify a freq from 1MHZ to 50MHZ.

There is many diagrams on the internet but for a few years now just cannot get the 2N3819 to work.

I always end up using a 2n2222 or BC238 but I would like to measure lower Rf values,with a freq counter.

Thanks for any advice.

Why not use the 2N2222 ? It is cheap and if you had it working for higher frequencies then you should have no trouble at a lower frequency.

You seem to be comparing a JFET with a bipolar transistor. Did you use a different circuit ? What is it ?

Biasing for a JFET is totally different to a BJT, and depends on the device specs much more.

When you say "amplify a freq from 1MHZ to 50MHZ." do you mean to imply broadband?
