Let me update my earlier post about losses in coax lines, where I cautioned people about using them as reactance elements (capacitors or inductors). If you are familiar with the Smith Chart, you can

You also need to know how much of the loss is due to dielectric loss tangent vs conductor resistance. For a matched 50 ohm line at 1.8 MHz, the dielectric loss is negligible. However, it may be signi

When I refer to "loss resistance" in my earlier post, I am really referring to an equivalent loss resistance that accounts for power dissipation from all physical mechanisms. It models as a resistanc

You cannot calculate "loss resistance" using only a Smith chart, and the dB/ft loss specs. Instead of just dB/ft, you need to know conductor resistance per foot and dielectric conductance per foot. R

Is not a rule of thumb to use: Just use the dB/m loss on the frequency of interest the actual length of the coaxial stub ? Example RG8, @1Mhz loss 0.5 dB/100ft (@10MHz: 1.5 dB) Length stub = 20 ft, w

I agree! Loss is not equally proportioned between conductor and dielectric losses. The line is also very short with virtually infinite SWR. You have to know the voltages, currents, dielectric loss p

Whenever I have needed a capacitor in a hurry, such as on a DXpedition or during a contest I have used coaxial cable. If the amount of capacitance is very high, say, a few hundred pF, then I use a nu

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle, depending on your personal taste. First, let's repeat some of the math on lossy transmission lines, or better, have a look at http://www.sm.luth.se/~urb
