How would I make an antenna and extract maximum signal and keep the Z at 750,000 ohms. I did take part in the discussion of matching, but I am afraid you are off by several orders of magnitude regarding the impedance value. Hi FCC, You have something wrong in your thinking, but tonight I'm not willing go to far in the description, Maybe tomorrow. We will use 240uh inductor and about 107pf cap. and assume a combined Q for the tank of 1000. and a parallel resonant circuit. The formula is 2 x pi x freq x L x Q. So at 1Mhz we have, 2 .x 3.14 x 1.000.000 x .00024 x 1000 = 1,507,200 ohms. Look here http://www.crystal-radio.eu/engev.htm There are more involved formulas, but this is close. MikeK |
