I cut the 6" x 2" Cu strap (60nH) in half. The L of a 3" length was c. 28nH, - R. L. Measures, a.k.a. Rich..., 805.386.3734,AG6K, www.vcnet.com/measures. end
So what's the inductance of a silver dollar? The Q? How about a gold sovereign? The little metal band around a pigeons leg? Those stainless staples used to hold ones guts in after abdominal surgery?
The self inductance of a straight wire can be found at http://www.hills2.u-net.com/electron/induct.htm#StraightWire However, how do you measure it without or use it with out making a loop? Unless you
? One bend the Cu foil a bit and spreads the Cu clips a bit. ? The loop is closed by the 48,5pF cap and the clipleads. The Cu foil does not close the loop. I have no other way to make this measureme
? agreed perpendicular to he ? Well put. ? yea, verily. I use a Hertz antenna on 40m. Feed Z is a couple of k-ohms. I match it to 50-ohms with an L-network. cheers - R. L. Measures, a.k.a. Rich...,
