I'm considering manufacturing and selling a handheld AC-coupled preamp
powered by a single 9V battery with the following specs:
Gain: 40 db +/- 0.5 db
3 db Bandwidth: 5 Hz-15 MHz
Risetime <20 nS
Input Impedance: <10K
Must feed a moderately high impedance (i.e. >1KOhm, <50 pF) load
Current drain: 10 mA
Voltage Noise: <1 nV/sqrt(Hz), typically 700 pA/sqrt(Hz)
Current Noise: <5 pA/sqrt(Hz), typically 2.5 pA/sqrt(Hz)
1/f noise corner frequency < 100 Hz
Price: US $250
The preamp has a bipolar transistor input stage, and is expressly
designed to work best with low source impedances. I'm trying to gauge
demand for it before manufacturing it, and would appreciate your
thoughts on demand for the product (conditioned on the fact that it is
battery powered), possible uses for it, and the appropriateness of the
pricing. Also, if you had to change the specs, which items would you
like enhanced?
Sincerely
