Re: My TDR Evaluation of the SG503 012-0482-00 Cable has been uploaded
Hi Richard, The speed in a cable is mostly a function of the Dielectric Constant of the filling between the inner conductor and the outer shield. The dielectric constant of the filling along with the

Hi Tom, Wikipedia is your friend when it comes to Velocity Factors. Scroll down this web page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_cable Or in your web browser type "wikipedia coax" and it is usually

Re: 2465B Parametric Freq Measurement Error
Hi John, Best would be to swap the trigger hybrid from one of your 2465 family scopes that does work into the one that doesn't work, as a test. (as long as you restore the original to the calibrated

Re: 475A with High +110 rail
With 134v on Q1496 collector, you should see +61v at Q1490's base. This will completely shut down the regulator by reverse biasing Q1494 b-e. That said it only leaves R1483, Q1496, CR1498, and R1488

Hi Chuck, The parametric functions do not work on one of my 2445Bs, the one you didn't calibrate.? It also doesn't sync on signal on start-up but does work well manually.? I chased this around? on

2465 repair attempt with (horizontal?) issues, help needed
Hi all, I got (yet another for my collection) 2465, it was stated it had problems before I got it, so no problem there. What have I done so far: Recapped the Power Supply, cleaned the Siemens fan and

Re: 475A with High +110 rail
On the 474A L.V. schematic it shows the expected voltage at the emitter of Q1496 as being 135.6 volts, which is quite close to your 134.66 reading at your +110 test point. It shows the expected

The document says: "The speed of light in a vacuum is 224844343.5 m/Sec= 0.2248m/nSec. " I guess Dennis already used some kind of velocity factor here. But this makes his following derivation invalid:

Re: 2465B Parametric Freq Measurement Error
All members of the 2465 family use interchangeable trigger hybrids. To remove them, remove the four nuts at the corners of the module. Tektronix considered them all to be "selected"... which I think

Re: My TDR Evaluation of the SG503 012-0482-00 Cable has been uploaded
Where does it show the speed of light in a vacuum? The TDR should be calibrated to the speed of light (electricity) in the cable. For 50 Ohm cable its about 66% of c. Varies with the impedance of the

Those are interesting measurements Dennis. And particularly interesting that although the Pomona/Belden the impedance is not 50 ohms, although the variation seems to be very low. And it will be more
