Single Voltage, 81mV, Q Measurement



Single Voltage T50-2 37T #24 with 330pF C0G Q Measurement


  • Vin = DG1032 3Vrms 50Ω 3.3072MHz
  • Vout = Oscilloscope 85mVrms (Acquire = Average 32)
  • Rs = (Vout * 50) / (2 * Vin - Vout)
    Rs = 0.7185Ω
  • L = 25330 / 3.3072^2 / 330 = 7.018uH
  • XL = 2 * Π * 3.3072 * 7.018 = 146Ω
  • Q = 146 / 0.7185 = 203


VNWA L||C S21 2-Port Through BW Q Measurement



Injection Transformer Q Measurement


  • Injection Transformer = FT50-43 50:1 turns
  • DUT = T50-2 37T #24 with 330pF C0G


Oscilloscope Vout Vrms Measurement
  • Fixture Vin = DG1032 3Vrms 50Ω
