I seem to recall some errors were reported, but I don't recall them being of any consequence. You haven't indicated if it's your model. I uploaded it to: http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/antennas/magnetic-loop/Antenna_trans_LTspice/Antenna_trans_loop.asc Is this the latest? This is what it produces: Circuit: * C:\blah-blah\jeffl\antennas\magnetic-loop\Antenna_trans_LTspice\Antenna_trans_loop.asc Number of points per octave reduced from 3000000 to 19545. Multiply defined .measure result: max Each .measure statement needs a unique result name. Date: Wed Nov 04 16:49:57 2015 Total elapsed time: 0.266 seconds. Yes, I wrote the simulation with help from a variety of sources. The above is not really an error. Just reduce the number of points used. I don't recall how that is set, but much of it is parametrized. I'm not sure what is up with the MAX error report. That sounds like a problem with a line continuation. That was the .ac directive. Too many points per octave. Here's my tweaked version of the loop. No errors this time: http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/antennas/magnetic-loop/Antenna_trans_LTspice/Rickman_60KHz_loop_02.asc Screen grab of the output: http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/antennas/magnetic-loop/Antenna_trans_LTspice/Rickman_60KHz_loop_02.jpg What I done did: 1. Removed all the .MEAS stuff that was producing errors. Just put the probe on the "output" line. 2. L1 and L2 were over coupled. I reduced the coupling from 1 to 0.02. I intentionally did NOT overlap the resonant peaks so the tuning is slightly off. It's fairly close to critically coupled. 3. Adjusted C1 and C2 for 60 KHz tuning. 4. Change frequency axis (.ac) parameters. 5. I got lazy and didn't add the usual title block stuff. 6. There are no values for Rs which needs to be considered. I hope this helps and I'm gone for dinner. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
