Baluncore replied to the thread Interpreting VIA PCB characteristics through TDR and TDT.When the three TLs have the same impedance they look like a single line. Although you can plot V(left) and V(right), there can be no... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Interpreting VIA PCB characteristics through TDR and TDT.The network is drawn across the top. The TDR plot is down the LHS, showing how multiple transmissions and reflections sum. -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Ice on the moon.Welcome to PF. You drill it, in the same way you would drill a hole in the Antarctic icecap. -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad What physical quantity has dimension [ML⁻³T⁻²] in electromagnetism?.No. That is the acceleration of the mass density. -
Baluncore replied to the thread Method of storing energy on the Moon.Space technology is as good for the US economy as was arms manufacture. The USA has previously primed and driven its economic pump with... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Nozzle Design Questions.But they are not an integral part of the barrel. We do not talk about silencers here in Tasmania, as they are illegal. We only have... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Interpreting VIA PCB characteristics through TDR and TDT.I think I should answer your questions backwards. LTspice models the specified circuit parameters against time. It does not model... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Nozzle Design Questions.I see no way to machine a convergent-divergent nozzle with a bend in the middle, or fed directly from drilled barrel ports. So employ a... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Properly producing TDR on PNA network analyzer N5224B.@yefj Just write @Baluncore and I will be notified that you have addressed me in the post. ρ = 2 * ( v / Vin ) - 1 ; Where Vin is the... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Properly producing TDR on PNA network analyzer N5224B.It is not that simple. It is ρ math, in reflection coefficient space. Voltage varies from 0 to 1. Reflection coefficient ρ, varies from... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Properly producing TDR on PNA network analyzer N5224B.ρ = 0; is a perfect impedance match. Zline = Zo * (1+ρ) / (1-ρ) Zline = 50 * ( 1 + 0 ) / ( 1 - 0) = 50 ohms. vf ≈ 1/√εr ; where εr is... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Nozzle Design Questions.The example you show in post #1, seems to be an attachment to the muzzle, not a drilled or modified barrel. That makes it possible to... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Long term rain forecast, causes and implications?.That type of aerial is usually called a tree. By keeping the soil shaded from the sun, there is less reflected heat from the ground... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Nozzle Design Questions.I guess by combustion chamber you mean barrel, and the bullet travels from left to right. Your A has a small reflective corner, while... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Properly producing TDR on PNA network analyzer N5224B.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs_phenomenon#Description If the rise-time of the step is only 1ns then you can only see big or long...
