Re: Open source impedance analyzer
Mike, and others, Eli got there before you asked! It's to be found at https://github.com/EliMattingly22/Simple_Impedance_Analyzer/blob/main/Impedance_Analyzer_V2_KiCAD/Impedance_Analyzer_V2.pdf. HTH,

Re: Making a Q-meter /
Seems like you have all the info you need. Standard US fine thread screw would be a 1/4"-28. (coarse thread is 1/4"-20) I checked the binding posts on my Boonton 260A and the are 1/4"? fine thread.

Re: Open source impedance analyzer
Hello Eli, Thank you for sharing your work. I had a quick look at your design on Github but it turned out to be a very superficial look because the schematics are only in Kicad format. I know Kicad is

Re: Making a Q-meter /
Hi all, I have 2 Q meters, a Boonton 260A and a Marconi TF1245A, both restored and working nicely and beautiful instruments. The Boonton coils fit the Marconi but the reverse is not the case. I want

Re: 10 MHz reference inputs
I eventually found a video distribution amp that did a good job, but the first one I used tried to do sync restoration, which made a pretty nasty mess of my 10MHz signal. Choose carefully and check

Re: 10 MHz reference inputs
A standard (analogue) video distribution amplifier could be used to buffer your external 10MHz source. They are designed for 75¦¸ input and output impedance, have 10 isolated outputs and are designed

Re: 10 MHz reference inputs
If you go by what HP's frequency counters expected/accepted, it's roughly a volt rms, perhaps within a factor of 2. Some go as high as 5V, but that's not what's required -- it's what's tolerated.

10 MHz reference inputs
I'm fighting a problem with some signal generators and I thought this group might have some information I need. 1: For a "typical instrument" what level should the 10 MHz input be?? These SGs say

Below are my accuracy test plots-- of course take everything with a grain (or handful) of salt because I don't have a calibrated set of resistors/capacitors, and I'm still a student learning the

Re: Question about SOL(T) kits for VNA.
VNA calibration kits are available with both male and female connectors - my company sells them. https://www.kirkbymicrowave.co.uk/ Specifically an SMA kit.

I bought a couple of miniVNA and both came with a male SOL kit. now, whenever I want to measure a DUT, I need to use cables which are terminated with a male connector. to calibrate the set up I need

Re: A stable and repeatable low value capacitance meter
It's not so much that there is a clip named Kelvin, but that there's a thing called a Kelvin connection, in which you drive the DUT with one pair of wires, but sense voltage with a separate pair. This
