Re: VNA Resonance Methodology
OK..... quite a lot to digest there and it's rather late at night in my zone right now so I'll have to re-read this in the stark light of morning. I think it would be illustrative to post a photo of

Re: Sticky ink of schematics
Modern laser printers and copiers use a finely powdered plastic toner to create the letters and pictures that are on the page. The plastic dust is placed onto the paper electrostatically, and is fused

Re: HP 8594E PSU repair/debug safety checklist
Don't get too enamored with tracing out and debugging your power supply, 9 times out of 10, the problem will be simply a case of bad electrolytic capacitors. I am not being casual with my statistics,

Re: VNA Resonance Methodology
Note that the 6cm diameter loop antenna ideally needs to form a closed loop, so one end of the loop connects to the centre pin of the coaxial connector and the other end of the loop connects to the

Re: VNA Resonance Methodology
If it helps, I dug out one of my test solenoids and put a 390pF ATC 800B cap across it and used the loop antenna method to find the resonance with the VNA set to s11. See the image below where the

Re: Troubleshooting a 8591e with opt 130
Marco, For A1-A5 and G1 to G3: +0.019V/ 1=+4.8V For G4 to G6: -7.4V / +14.28V With my 8595E, A5 -16dB is activated with CORR=ON, and OFF when CORR=OFF. This would mean that I would probably have a

Re: HP 8341B 1992 firmware version
Hi saevar, I saw them but these are labeled as for 8340B not 8341B. Do you know whether firmware for 8340B and 8341B is exactly the same? Regards

Re: VNA Resonance Methodology
Yes, and also the ferrite can introduce non-linear artefacts at levels below saturation. This type of distortion can happen if you use the ferrite in a narrow bandpass filter for example. Note that

Re: VNA Resonance Methodology
Check the double tuned LC network theory. As you change the coupling between two tuned ckts, they interact, and the usual resonant peak becomes split. In a GDO your exciting the LC DUT with the GDO

An isolation transformer is always a good idea when working on mains-connected circuits. If nothing else, a couple of regular transformers connected in cascade with the second "primary" being the

Re: VNA Resonance Methodology
You say the GDO must be loosely coupled, which does make sense I can see now. However, that's another aspect of my method which was wrong, then. I was inserting the probe coil actually inside the test
