AI Thread Summary
In designing a parallel LC tank circuit, the placement of output and ground connections is crucial for optimal operation. Connections can be made either capacitively by splitting the capacitor into two in series or inductively by placing an additional inductor near the existing one. Properly positioning these connections affects circuit performance and signal quality. The circuit may also need to be connected between high voltage DC and the plate of a vacuum tube, such as 6L6 or 807. Understanding these connection methods is essential for effective tank circuit design.

I'm building a tank circuit and I need to have an output and a ground connection. The type of circuit is a parallel LC tuned circuit. I just don't know where the connections should be placed. Does it matter for the circuit to operate properly. If someone can give me an answer to this or tell me where I can find the information that would be very much appreciated
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
There is generally two ways to tap an LC tank, either capacitively or inductively. To tap capacitively, split the capacitor into two capacitors in series, and their junction can be the output, and alternatively, place another inductor close to inductor in the tank, and that will serve as an output too.

Is the tank ckt connected between the high voltage dc and the (vacuum tube) plate (anode)? e.g., 6L6's or 807's?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
