5943001601 10T 1:4 TLT


1:4 TLT DUT and Fixture Schematic

  • Fixture Calibration process
    Delays = Cal Kit Delay + -106ps (11mm Amphenol 031-203-RFX)
  • Fair-Rite 5943001601 43 Toroid
  • VNWA 12-term corrected measurement
  • Cat6 Twisted Pair
    • Physical length = 13" (measured)
    • Electrical length = 492 / 307 = 1.6' (Results to 1.2GHz Marker)
    • Vf Estimate = 1.08 / 1.6 = 68%

BN43-7051 1:4 Transmission Line Transformer
CAT6 TP#22 Magnet TP

  • Fixture Calibration process
    Delays = Cal Kit Delay + -106ps (11mm Amphenol 031-203-RFX)
  • VNWA 12-term corrected measurement
  • "Advantage of the transmission line design used in RF transformers
     is that much of the interwinding capacitance is absorbed into
     the transmission line parameters" Mini-Circuits Reference
