--- Quote from: Silente on January 20, 2020, 09:26:54 pm ---The specifications I want to respect are: 1. power of the incident radiation, when there is a signal of -30 dBm, 2. diode responsiveness = 0.8 A / W, 3. peak output voltage of at least 5 mV, 4. 50 Ohm output impedance, 5. input impedance < 50 Ohm, 6. band > 100 MHz. --- End quote --- you need to specify the photodiode size, which goes hand in hand with the photodiode capacitance, to fully specify the problem. For 100 MHz you need small-ish photodiodes, maybe 1mm diameter or smaller, with capacitance 10 pF or lower. like these maybe https://www.hamamatsu.com/resources/pdf/ssd/s5971_etc_kpin1025e.pdf |
| Silente:
Thank you to all. I'll try to refine the schematic after your tips, and I will show calculations and simulations that I will do. I'm downloading LTSpice. Thank you again for now. |
| Marco:
Personally for a toy circuit like this I wouldn't use LTSpice ... can't stand the interface. Simetrix comparatively easier to work with for me and the free version is powerful enough for this. |

Many 3rd party models omit them, but they still work. |
