Hi Mike. I suspect that the dielectric loss of your coil is secondary. A Qul of nearly 350 implies to me that the primary losses are likely copper wire R and fixture. A couple of useful things to do.

No I wouldn't use black for that reason. It's white (see photo further up this thread). It's solid, not foam. -- Mike

Ohh. Black ABS? As in Drain Waste Vent (DWV) pipe? The black is from carbon black as a pigment - yeah, as in resistors Also, most DWV is what is known as "cellular" which means that the walls are

After all that debate about PVC I've just discovered that my coil former is actually ABS ... Apologies! -- Mike

Thanks for all your comments, Jim. I think I've seen different dissipation factor values for PVC depending on filler amount. I believe I used values for pure PVC, but I can't remember. In any event,

Just 4 turns. The idea and constructive details came in 2015 from Jim Giammanco N5IB, the original designer of the PHSNA. Ignacio

I asked Google AI whether PVC is hygroscopic. Here, in part, is what it said Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a hygroscopic powder material. Hygroscopic substances can take and hold moisture from the

Mike and Alan, I measured the loss factor for PVC and it was about 0.005 or so at 1 kHz. I did more measurements at RF but will have to go back to old note books. I made a simple fixture to test a

It's PVC water pipe. -- Mike

Most coils have some parasitic C (it can be quite large). That C has a voltage on it, and a lossy dielectric leads to loss.

Hi Pete. The inductor is supporting a propagating field. It is both magnetic and electric. You are correct, while the magnetic properties of a core are key to control loss, so are the dielectric

You can change the setting in the menu to display R+jX instead of the default R +inductance/capacitance. Roger

Alan, How does the loss factor of the dielectric that the coil form is made from impact the magnetic circuit? I have heard others mention this but with no explanation. Thanks, Pete

Good evening! I would very much appreciate recommendations on the best version of the NANOVNA that displays reactance values for the markers on the Smith chart, instead of inductance and capacitance.

Excellent Mike. So that is a Qul of 348. I spilt the difference between 6 and 8 ohms... lets say 7... From the appearance of your coil, that seems reasonable. The material you wound the unit on has a

OK I had a go at this with my NanoVNA and got the attached result, which if I follow your calculation correctly equates to Rq = 8.05 ohms. Coil64 estimates 5.9 ohms which, given the less than ideal

Return it and get a refund. Then go to R & L Electronics and purchase a genuine one. Problem solved!!! PS... This is the very best advise ANYBODY can give you!!!
