Measuring Velocity Factor w/ MFJ-259
I'm interested in measuring the velocity factor of some coax I have (more of
an exercise than necessity). In order to do this, the MFJ-259 Operations manual states that the "stub" to be measured should be attached with a 50-ohm noninductive resistor in series to that center conductor of the Antenna connector on the analyzer. What would be a good way of making this connection? I've thought about it quite a bit; the best idea I've come up with so far is to have a small metal enclosure w/ two SO-239's mounted. The resistor would go from center conductor to center conductor of each SO-239. But this requires too many extra connections & lengths. Is there a better way to do this? Would love to see anyone else's experimental setup, particularly if there are pictures or details on the web. Thanks & 73, Jason KB5URQ |
