fun with loading
Reg, old sot, you need to either quit drinking so much or go back to
the fundamental definition of Q. The Q of a coil or capacitor is
always an abstraction from the definition. In any event, trying to use
a coil or a stub at or near its self (anti)resonance to get an
inductive reactance is a really bad plan. You can't separate the
self-capacitance from the coil or the stub, so assuming only the
reactance from the wire's inductance does you no good at all in that
case. As a resonator, it's fine. As an inductive loading component
(which is the topic of this thread), it sucks.
Cheers,
Tom
