Re: Making a Q-meter /
The article is here, with the description but nothing about what the inductor Q. I find his numbers depressingly low.? I note on page two he has the LC drive impedance of the 4342A wrong at 50¦¸, not

Re: Making a Q-meter /
Wes Hayward, in an article "Experiments with Coils and Q-Measurement" tested some capacitors by measuring the resulting Q of an LC resonant circuit using different capacitors. Of the 8 caps tested,

Re: Making a Q-meter /
When making and reporting measurements as absolute quantities, it's imperative to report correlation between two, or more, measurement methods. https://www.kn5l.net/Q-Meter/MM-T68-2-30T/ is updated

Re: Making a Q-meter /
Im about to use the three gang unit from BC-453, the command receiver, the so-called Q-Fiver. Its 400pF per section, so might be able to use it in a two or three range application. The minimum

Also note that some of those low prices are fake : they do indeed provide a suitable welder but you have to add a high capacity lithium battery or supercap set to provide sufficient current to the

Re: Making a Q-meter /
I have no idea!? On the other hand, they are probably some of the highest Q caps available that don't cost over $100, even though I consider $5 to $7 for one cap ridiculous! :-) I ordered one 100pf

There are articles on some of the 722 series capacitors in the General Radio Experimenter Jan 1936, Feb 1937, & Oct/Nov 1938. Available at IET <https://www.ietlabs.com/genrad/experimenters/1930s/>

Re: Making a Q-meter /
The table is misleadingly labeled! First, there is no way that they could even measure a dissipation factor as low as 1E-13 or so. What they are calling the dielectric loss is actually the product of

You can get some high Q fixed caps from Mouser. Kyocera/AVX Series 100B https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/40/100B-2899743.pdf The lowest frequency Q is shown is 150MHz, I don't know if it goes up at
