    [SOLVED] How do you make a Q=0.7 inductor, very high power?

    Thank you for your suggestion. Yes, coming from a communications background into induction heating has turned a number of concepts on their head! I would use a solenoid if I needed to increase the L, but I can get the same cancellation with a bifilar layout and running a linear path up and...

    90 Degrees Shift of Digital Signal

    You are correct about calculating the reactive power. I have not done a Hilbert transform myself, so perhaps someone else can help you with its implementation. You can also get magnitude and phase info as a starting point with an FFT at numerous frequencies with spacing dependent on your...

    90 Degrees Shift of Digital Signal

    Not really my area, but a hilbert transform on a periodically sampled signal should help getting a 90 degree component. But if I was going after real and reactive power, I would: Real power- Multiply samples of V and I taken as close as possible to the same sample time, then put the result...

    [SOLVED] How do you make a Q=0.7 inductor, very high power?

    Going straight up and back (nearly bifilar) seems to always be lower Q than a coil or ring, and with various diameters and types of steel or copper has never resulted in a Q less than 1.

    [SOLVED] How do you make a Q=0.7 inductor, very high power?

    Thank you for your suggestion. The problem is that even non-inductive resistors tend to have as much inductance as a piece of wire, and by the time you have enough strung together to handle 100kW, the high Q stray L on the hookups becomes very significant! I may get back to this kind of...

    [SOLVED] How do you make a Q=0.7 inductor, very high power?

    Interesting! For testing at fixed frequency, a series cap would let me have a small effective reactance by cancelling most of the inductance, leaving the losses intact giving me a low inductive impedance to resistance ratio (low Q). That could be part of a solution, but the system finds its...

    [SOLVED] How do you make a Q=0.7 inductor, very high power?

    When we tried that, we couldn't get the Q to be less than 1. Thanks, tho. Your thoughts are appreciated.

    why sensor LM35 temperature sensor return same data in fixed conditions???

    The temperature is sensed by a semiconductor junction. The sensor itself is immune to vibration, as far as I can see. I think your problem has to be more of a system problem. This device can source current, but is almost floating if it has to sink current. Please pull the output to ground with...

    why sensor LM35 temperature sensor return same data in fixed conditions???

    It doesn't look like it should be sensitive to vibration, when I look at the data sheet. It does have a line regulation spec. If you are running the device off 12V from the vehicle, the typical 10mV/V spec would look like about a degree C variation per volt. There could easily be interference...

    [SOLVED] How do you make a Q=0.7 inductor, very high power?

    This is not a component in a product design. The intent is to attach this to an induction heater to simulate a particular heavily loaded coil. Resistors and their interconnects have inductance, and at this power level a bunch of power resistors would be required and have parasitic inductances...

    [SOLVED] How do you make a Q=0.7 inductor, very high power?

    I have a non-communications requirement to build a test load that is around 2uH with a Q=0.7 at 30kHz. To make matters worse, I have to pump 100kW or more into it!. Water cooling is OK. It is turning out to be extremely difficult to get a Q that low at high power. Everything has been cut and...

    Cooperative Underwater Acoustic

    I meant that as an individual embarking on such a project, I would be much less ambitious than as part of a team. You can implement a far more complex system when you have more man-years to spend on it.

    Cooperative Underwater Acoustic

    Very interesting. Do your resourses match an ambitious development or are you looking for a more limited implementation?

    Cooperative Underwater Acoustic

    Do you refer to an acoustic transmit/receive link for voice transmission underwater? What does cooperative mean in this context? I would expect situations with a direct acoustic path and indirect reflected paths that will be unstable in magnitude, phase and delay. Perhaps you could take a page...

    Can I oversample multiple identical digitized impulses to create a composite? How?

    If I understand you correctly, you could make something like that work. I would generate a square wave of 50Hz samples, then subtract the recorded data square waves and generate an error term, by an offset and least squares technique or cross correlation. I would then generate a new frequency...
