Re: How can I measure the bandwidth of an audio transformer with the HP8903B ?
Hi Jon, I have no "real data", but I find it VERY hard to believe that a 10 ohm, 10 W resistor could possibly have 55 or 505 *millihenrys" of inductance. I strongly suspect that your numbers units

WTB HP-8753E Handles
Wondering if anyone in the group has a set of what I believe are 5U handles for the 8753E. If I am not mistaking the handles were generic, and likely fit other instruments in the same form factor

It should also be understood that no speaker, or speakers w/crossover, will be pure resistive either. I recall seeing reviews of speaker systems where the impedance as a function of frequency was

Re: HP8903B - Plotting from HP-IB
Hello everybody, I got the HP82357B interface and I can finally use Pete Millett's programs. I entered address 7 for the interface and 28 for the HP8903B. It works well, I just wanted to understand if

Thank you all for the advice and considerations on the measurements of the output transformers. Reading the various posts it seems to me that the best solution is to create a final amplifier, with for

Re: How can I measure the bandwidth of an audio transformer with the HP8903B ?

Answer...u,clear the intended frequency range, so type in l8ad.is in question. 1/ no need to vary the load resistance as hi-fi amplifiers are rated driving a 4 or 8 ohm resistance load, not a voice

Re: How can I measure the bandwidth of an audio transformer with the HP8903B ?
I haven't done the math or measurement, but I question that (for example) a 20 ohm, 20 watt rheostat has enough inductance to be important at audio frequencies. It's an air-core coil, wound on

That's probably all the information you need to make approximate measurements of the transformer frequency response.? As others have said, if you want precision, you pretty much have to build the

Re: How can I measure the bandwidth of an audio transformer with the HP8903B ?
Why would the inductance of either the rheostat or a wire wound load resistor be of significance when it is basically substituting for a voice coil (a coil of wire)? Jack

Thanks Jon, the rheostat would serve to match the reflected impedance to the amplifier tubes to test different transformers. Alternatively I could think of a switch to select different anti-inductive

Re: How can I measure the bandwidth of an audio transformer with the HP8903B ?
Atillo, 1/ use a non inductif 8 ohm power resistance NOT rehostat for load. Too inductif! Carborundum made "globar" tubular loads for dummy loads for TX. 2/ Use classic RCA valve app notes 1950s on

Hi Alex, I wouldn't describe that output stage as a push-pull topology. The pulling up is just passive; there's only active pulldown. The output stage is a slightly modified, but otherwise

That is certainly what it looks like, but looking at the schematic the vertical output amp is not like any push-pull driver I am used to seeing.

Re: How can I measure the bandwidth of an audio transformer with the HP8903B ?
Thanks Jon, you are right, but the measurement can be used to make comparisons and to have a first indication of the transformer. Pete, great idea, I had thought about it, but I had not thought about
