parts choice for higher power active circulator
« on: September 01, 2017, 09:06:16 am »
What are some good op-amp choices for making a DC-low frequency circulator with 'decent' power handling capability that would pretty much work?

I was going to build this,

but i figure, if you have something in mind, I would not mind more power handling capability and bandwidth. I don't have much experience in dealing with analog circuits that run above much more then a MHz so I am not familiar with the lay of the land as it comes to op-amps, being stable, etc.

Things I had in mind:

Is there a downside to using a CFB amplifier for this?

I remember when that active circulator article was first released and have it in paper form.

The AD8009 is a fine choice with both higher bandwidth and higher output current then the CLC406 which is also a current feedback operational amplifier.  Note however that the physical construction and layout is more important as the frequency goes up so it may be better to use a slower part initially.
