Re: Matching for a Xtal filter
I should also mention, I did all measurements with the RF-IV sensor. It seems to work so well, I didn't use a directional coupler. Thanks, Shabaz. ________________________________ Sent: 01 September

Re: Matching for a Xtal filter
Hi Marc, Thanks for the information, it's great to hear about the procedures used. I've not used the touchstone format yet, that's something I'm looking forward to. I didn't realize VNWA had a

Re: Matching for a Xtal filter
Hi Shabaz I'm a lazzy guy and definitely not a "tech pundit". But when I'm playing with xtal filters, I first run a transmission measure in both direction, store the datas in an S2P touchstone file

Matching for a Xtal filter
Hi Everyone, I hope you're well. Although I have some RF background, I don't do this for a day job, I'm very much a beginner so apologies if I'm asking something basic. I've never had to match such a

Re: Problem with measuring Q's of Caps & Inductors
Greetings to all, In response, the Agilent Impedance Measurement Handbook illustrates where RF-IV is superior to the reflection method. Measuring capacitor ESR is especially challenging and a study

Hi Gary, Thank you for the reply jogging my memory! I vaguely remember long a thread and the construction of the RFIV head, I wish I would have paid more attention and built one. I will contact Ivan

Re: Problem with measuring Q's of Caps & Inductors
Some years back I was having trouble measuring Q. The values from my HP 4342 and N2PK were no where near the same. Contacted Paul and he suggested getting a rfiv bridge. Things changed dramatically.

Re: Problem with measuring Q's of Capacitors
Greetings Q can be derived for either L or C by measuring their complex impedance .? In either case Q is a ratio of the real to imaginary values provided by the VNA.? I have recently spent

Re: Problem with measuring Q's of Caps & Inductors
Dave, It might seem like heresy but I would recommend that you download the software that runs the DG8SAQ VNWA. /g/VNWA/files/A1%20DG8SAQ//VNWA36.7.9.8.zip It will also control the

Single detector PCB
Hi I am wondering whether anyone might have a single detector PCB available. I am looking to update a rather old single detector N2PK VNA to a dual detector for use by a friend. Thanks. Bob, 5B4AGN

Re: 3.3V MO regulator odd voltage reading
Thanks Gary. Unfortunately it shows solid continuity when I test it. I have replaced the regulator as well - the replacement and the original behaving the same, unfortunately. 73/jeff/ac0c
