Re: Through calibration #calibration
|
I made a jig so I can test Tesla coil components with. The first couple permutations of the design used alligator clips. I hade to fashion cal standards for SolT ISO, but in the end I believe calibrating all of the inherent resistance capacitance and inductance out of everything except the device or components under test.

For the above I¡¯m using 2.8¡± saa and a 4¡±v2 both with the trick FW. And calibrating from 10khz-3ghz. They are remarkably close in measurement and consistency. Ultimately, What I have found is using sma edge connectors, soldered directly to the components you want to test yields a more accurate result that is easily replicated. Take that as you may. There are a ton people on this groups.io with far more experience and knowledge than I can ever have. If this didn¡¯t answer satisfactorily, keep at it, they¡¯ll get you the answer you need. Just verify, verify, verify. That being said¡ Disclaimer:: Since I¡¯m still very new to all of this and as an RF/microwave hobbyist, having just taken it up in the COVID years, I¡¯ll be the first to tell you I don¡¯t know shit. I¡¯m blown away every day by something I come across, a paper I read or one of these videos on YouTube. Though I have nearly 25 years of professional experience as a 15A Tech(chassis/Body electrical)/Drivability Tech (emissions, diagnostics) in GM dealerships, Private Auto Shops and at least a few months of each of those 25 years either setting up someone¡¯s bike for Willow or Seca , or hauling my ass around one the tracks. So I use to think I knew something¡ I used to think I knew the nature of electricity, how to fix issues , etc. As I learned, all too fast after taking up Antenna design and RF electronics , DC automotive electronics are the kiddie pool of the Field of Electronics and RF. AC electricity, circuits, components, etc , a. nauseum are just this side of magic and it blows me away more and more the further into the topic I get. To end the disclaimer¡. If I give the wrong info, I apologize. please correct me, that¡¯s how we learn.
