    [SOLVED] Self-Heating Test for Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor

    Reconfiguring it in shunt with an inductor did the trick. I was able to heat it up 25C from room temperature with ~8W. Thanks everyone.

    [SOLVED] Self-Heating Test for Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor

    Hello Community, I’m trying to verify the I^2R ripple of my circuit. I tried heating this 7676C capacitor up using NXP’s MRF300AN-13MHZ in a straight thru 50 Ohm configuration, but the capacitor doesn’t even tick up 1 deg C. I ran the amplifier all the way up to 300W+, monitored my reflection...

    Matching 33pF Capacitor to Resonate at 13MHz using Copper Wound Coil

    Hello Everyone, I would like to build a simple resonant circuit using bare copper wire as the inductor. I’m thinking I would have to wind it up around some sort of dowel like the ones in the background of this Kemet video(). I found capacitor part number 100C330JW2500XJ36 and need it to...

    Series Resonant Circuit in a 50 Ohm System

    It does except for a couple of items I couldn't figure out. Why was a shunt matching component chosen instead of a series? Why am I getting a different voltage out of the source in the simulation than my calculation? Here’s a summary of what I’ve done. I hope it’s correct :/ I started with...

    Series Resonant Circuit in a 50 Ohm System

    I'm using 17.1.8. This does look like a complicated bug. Thanks for sharing. 1683655882 Both seem good now. This format of .param and .step was separated on mine. I switched over to this syntax I also updated C1 to be the variable {Cs}

    Series Resonant Circuit in a 50 Ohm System

    Also checked it in GENESYS and it tracks the LTSpice plot

    Series Resonant Circuit in a 50 Ohm System

    Trying to run this simulation but I don't get what you get.

    Series Resonant Circuit in a 50 Ohm System

    My apologies, I read this as being a rhetorical question. The application is to heat up the inductor and characterize the resonant frequency drift caused by the heat rise. This answers one of my questions, the resistor in series is not part of the load. That is correct, the beginning of the...

    Series Resonant Circuit in a 50 Ohm System

    Voltage across the inductor and the capacitor are close, the voltage across the resistor is much lower. Q factor of each component: Yes, maximum power transfer is the goal. That's why I'm trying to improve my return loss (S11) 1683229459 I'm confused. I'm trying to achieve maximum power...

    Series Resonant Circuit in a 50 Ohm System

    My goal is to maximize the current going through L and C. If I look at the equation for this it seems 'R' is the limiting factor. Reading this, the 'R' is what determines the Q of the circuit. I guess I'm confused whether this is R (impedance) or R like ESR

    Series Resonant Circuit in a 50 Ohm System

    Hello Forum Peeps, I have a series resonant circuit which I have simulated and built on an actual grounded coplanar waveguide. My question is regarding the Q factor of the circuit. In the case of the LTSpice simulation, I used generic (ideal) lumped resistor, inductor and capacitor. I added...

    [SOLVED] Parallel Resonant Circuit with 50 Ohm source Math

    Added simulations as a check Fixed voltage and current of the series resistor We correlate. My version is a few pages though... (I have a thing for the details :) ):

    [SOLVED] Parallel Resonant Circuit with 50 Ohm source Math

    I used the polar solver in my TI and got the same results you did. I found the problem. I totally forgot there are conditions when converting to polar form (it's been a while....:rolleyes:) I get what you get now (y)
