But I have one question: if the 'transmission line' is very short so that the 'significant portion of a wavelength' criteria is not met, then the capacitive reactance of the line and any inductive reactance in the load and the effective Q of the circuit may all come into play. Is it possible for a resonant condition to exist? If so, does the reflection coefficient have any significance? Deacon Dave, W1MCE Hi Dave, Depends on two things. The degree of resolution you demand and the possibility of end effects (would it be easier to go around instead of through?). When I was at the Metrologist Bench, I would be asked "how accurate can you measure this?" My response was "How much can you afford?" 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
