Bias_T and inductor resistance

[Harald Kapp]

apply the relevant formula to derive the 'C' as the factor.

"L" ?
"C" is known

forgetting that this one is live!

I merged the threads.

visually, that is usually pretty easy

Hi D,
The SMD caps and inds both look the same blank and white.

Hi H,
Thanks.

Multifunction measuring instruments all have limitations and devices dedicated to such 'individual' components tend to be far more accurate. For 'small' measurements this is particularly noticeable and inductors as well as capacitors are commonly notoriously difficult to measure using 'broadbased' test equipment like your tweezers.

One relatively easy method (assuming you have the facilities and equipment i.e. accurate frequency counter) is to make a small LC oscillator with a calibrated capacitance and add the inductance to it - thereafter apply the relevant formula to derive the 'C' as the factor.

Hi K,
I checked small Caps e,g, 10pF and it worked fine, within 10%.

I'm interested in the LC oscillator, and I'll ask again, when I've got time.
Thanks
