RE: Topband: HV capacitor (score: 1): Author: "Richard (Rick) Karlquist (N6RK)" <richard@karlquist.com>; Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2004 08:06:22 -0800; Another illustration of this is feedthru capacitors: Conventional ones are coaxial, the "obvious" way to make them. However, a much better way to make them is the so called "discoidal type", which in; /archives//html/Topband/2004-12/msg00225.html (9,146 bytes)

Re: Topband: Re: Coax capacitor losses (score: 1): Author: "Rick Karlquist" <richard@karlquist.com>; Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2004 11:48:38 -0800 (PST); 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; /archives//html/Topband/2004-12/msg00242.html (7,713 bytes)

Instead of just dB/ft, you need to know conductor resistance per foot and dielectric conductance per foot. R; /archives//html/Topband/2004-12/msg00247.html (8,096 bytes)
