Hi All, I have one more very interesting observation regarding inductors at RF when in the presence of a conducting shield. When I put a high valued inductor close to a copper shield and observe the reactance on a VNA , the reactance seems to decrease at lower frequencies and the reactance increases at higher frequncies when the shield is put near the inductor. What I mean is that , the presence of the copper shield causes the reactance to decrease at the lower frequencies (20Mhz) and increase at higher frequencies (100Mhz) . Can anybody tell me the reason for this? Regards, George. _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
