This means they have inductive reactances rising up to about 10 ohms at 30MHz. Ian, I've just measured a couple of resistors bought as spares for the FL-2100Z, 33 ohm 3W metal film used as a grid stopper, and 22 ohm 3W metal oxide used on the anode, again as a suppressor, with a coil wound round it (both of the originals were carbon). The metal film 33R measures 6.5uH and the oxide 22R measures 4.5uH on the aade.com meter. Both values (if the readings are correct) would represent a high ratio of X to R at HF frequencies... I have quite a surplus of them, so if you wish I can send one of each in the mail for you to check on your VNA. Those values seem surprisingly high, so yes, please do and I will measure them. Based on the standard inductance formula (and there seems no reason why that shouldn't apply in this case) it would seem to require very large numbers of turns to achieve 1uH. My posting was based on the ones I scraped the paint off in pre-VNA days, so it would be useful to collect more data on typical 'coil' dimensions and numbers of turns, together with the actual effective inductances. -- 73 from Ian G3SEK 'In Practice' columnist for RadCom (RSGB) http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek |
