Hi All, I am a little late this month because of a heavy travel schedule, but I just posted my latest Technical Tidbit titled:
Using Resonant Frequency Measurements to Extract Circuit Parameters (Calculating the Capacitance of a BNC Barrel Adapter) Abstract: Measuring the resonant frequency of a circuit can yield information >from which circuit parameters can be determined. An example is given of using the resonance of a small wire loop attached to a BNC barrel adapter to calculate the capacitance of the adapter. This method can be applied to connectors and other structures as well and is especially useful if a network analyzer is not available. The link to the article is the picture of two loops at the bottom of the page at http://emcesd.com Further up on the webpage, look for the palm trees, you can see the details of a talk I am giving at the University of California at Santa Barbara in a few months that is open to the public.
