For example: do you (*) recognize Roy Lewallen late example in "Food for tought" assuming (or conceding that) as not representing a real rig but a simple constant voltage source in series with a resistor, at least? to give some credit to his ideas Until now, I could not know... In that article, Roy says "My commercial amateur HF transceiver is probably typical of modern rigs in that it produces a constant forward average power into varying load impedances provided the impedance isn t extreme enough to *cause the rig to severely cut back its power output." Assuming that "constant forward average power" means 'as would be indicated on a directional wattmeter calibrated for Z=50+j0', if that is true for all load impedances that Pf is constant (within limits), then it is evidence that Zs=50+j0 (within those limits). He goes on to say "It turns out that a linear model of my transmitter * (without a transmatch) over its non-shutdown range is very simple it s just a voltage source in series with a resistance." Subject to the conditions I stated in the previous paragraph, that is correct, but that whilst that model can be used to determine behaviour of the external load, there are limits to the inferences that can be drawn about the internals of the transmitter, including as mentioned in earlier posts, internal dissipation and efficiency. Roy acknowledges that in the next paragraph. Only a mischief maker would represent Roy as meaning otherwise. From my own experience, I don't agree that HF ham rigs typically produce constant Pf into varying loads. Walt's transmitter measurements that we are discussing do not show constant Pf, though the change is fairly small. But this is a practical measurement project for yourself, don't be put off by the attempts to discredit measurements with anything but traceable calibration. (*) I do not know how clearly denote plural in "do you" I am not the expert that others are on English language, and we speak a version of English closer to the English here... but "you" is plural and singular (but if followed by a verb, it is treated as plural eg "you are correct"), and you could say to a group "do you agree", though some people may say "do you all agree" or "do y'all agree", though those might be seen as asking each member of the group rather than collectively. Owen Thanks Owen. I believe I quite understand your kind explanation and reasons, but I am not sure if I can ask my question well enough indeed!. I beg your patient. I am not interested yet to make questions about real rigs, but reduce at first only one specific problem at the most simple theorical model I can think: an ideal constant voltage source in series with an ideal resistence loaded at first with simple resistive loads connected directly and late via ideal lossless TL of differents simple wavelenghts 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 (I have formed idea about this, but I am not interested in my concept but your concept about it). For example, I want to know if you (all) would predict identical Rs and Rl dissipation in that reduced and theorical context with direct and remotely connected loads (vinculated via TL). To this point K1TTT -seem to me- tell me you all would agree to settle the problem with Telegrapher's equations to obtain TL input Z and then apply simple circuit theory solution to calculate Rs-Rl dissipation (before begin Thevenin misleading issue). I do not want to advance more from here for fear to complicate the question with my translation. Thanks again. Miguel - LU6ETJ |
