Experiment 6

This Experiment is a measurement of a 64 foot length of 1m-spaced AWG#28 wire, fixtured using 200 ohm input Klopfenstein tapered transformers preceded by 1:2 turns ratio flux-coupled transformers and also a 1:1 current balanced transformer. Calibration has been performed in a reference impedance of 200 ohms at the low impedance input connections of each tapered transmission line transformer.

Along the length of the span, circular 7” diameter Styrafoam dielectric ‘wheels’ have been added to allow creation of bends in both conductors. Measurements of different conditions including,

• no dielectric,

• dielectric just touching the conductor

• dielectric creating different vertical displacements of
