Reference trimmer disc capacitor for frequencies up to 200 Mc

Conclusions The above disc capacitor can be used for various purposes as a reference single-valued effective capacitance, or as a many-valued capacitance set at will to any value within its range, for testing or research purposes.The KVCh-8M capacitors are particularly convenient for determining the frequency characteristic of effective capacitances of other capacitors by the substitution method. In this method the measured capacitor is replaced at the high frequency by the KVCh-8M capacitor, which is set to the appropriate value by adjusting the distance between its plates.The preliminary adjustment is made with the capacitor screen removed, and the final adjustment through the opening in the screen.The actual capacitance of the disc trimmer is then calculated from (4) having measured its capacitance on a low-frequency bridge. Such a method of checking capacitors is very simple, since it does not require any accurate high-frequency capacity measuring devices. It is quite sufficient to have any type of Q-meter.     

Cavity differential-absolute-pressure transducer with frequency output

A new construction of the differential resonator microwave transducer is considered, having a number of advantages over other transducers: high sensitivity, protection against interference, simple construction, high mechanical strength, etc. The very simple electrical measuring circuit gives, without amplification, a frequency output signal of sufficiently large amplitude. The differential principle makes it possible to exclude a number of errors associated with temperature, vibro-shock loading, etc., playing a large role in absolute pressure transducers used in flying equipment, working in challenging climatic conditions and under severe vibro-shock loading.Translated from Izmeritel'naya Tekhnika, No. 7, pp. 33–36, July, 1993.     

Development of circuit for measuring both Q variation and resonant frequency shift of quartz crystal microbalance

Although frequency shift is often used for QCM (Quartz Crystal Microbalance) measurement, Q of a resonator also varies when viscous loading occurs. However, it is difficult to measure Q variation in real time in comparison with resonant frequency shift. Furthermore, oscillation frequency shift deviates from real resonant one in case of large viscous loading. Here, the authors have developed the circuit based upon motional admittance method for measuring both Q variation and real resonant frequency shift. It was applied to a quartz resonator gas sensor, and its Q variation was measured by this circuit. Moreover, it was compared with a conventional oscillation circuit and the frequency shift of the former was remarkably different from that of the latter in case of large Q variation. When a quartz resonator coated with PEG20M (PolyEthylene Glycol 20M) membrane was exposed to water vapor, its Q decreased from 38700 to 3650 and a frequency shift of the oscillation circuit was only about one sixth of this circuit.

Low Force Measurement Based on Impedance of a Piezo-resonator

Piezoelectric transducers have effectively been used for force measurement due to their inherently large stiffness. The primary transduction parameter of piezoelectric transducer is voltage which is used mostly for dynamic and sometimes for quasi-static force measurement. Other parameters of piezoelectric transducers such as resonant frequency, electrical impedance, etc. have also been used for force measurement. In the present work, precision measurement of conductance of a radial mode piezo-resonator has been carried out under different static loading and the resultant change in resonant conductance of the resonator have been evaluated as a function of loading force. This method based on resonant conductance measurement can prove to be effective in measuring forces between two interfaces which is an important requirement in many scientific and technical problems.     

Intermodulation measurements in YBaCuO films

A technique for measuring the intermodulation signal arising in a nonlinear high-temperature superconductor film is suggested. Using a one-port resonator, the technique significantly increases sensitivity of the measuring system as compared to that of a two-port-resonator design. Specifically, it lowers the minimum measurable power at a given magnetic field strength on the film surface. Measurements of the intermodulation signal power as a function of the input power for YBaCuO films differing in surface resistance and thickness are reported. Based on the measured data, the intermodulation characteristic magnetic field is computed. The quantity characterizes nonlinear film properties of the regardless of the measuring system employed.     

Simple Technique for High-Resolution Time-Delay and Group-Velocity Measurements at Radio Frequencies

A simple technique for measuring the time delay a (modulated) radio-frequency signal experiences when passing through a medium or device is described. A carrier signal at the desired frequency is (sine) wave amplitude modulated (e. g., at 2 MHz). The modulated signal is passed through the medium or device, amplitude-detected, and compared in phase with the modulating signal from which the time delay is deduced. Time delays of a fraction of a nanosecond are easily measured.

Liquid volume measurement for cryogen under microgravity condition

A Helmholtz resonance technique was employed as an effective technique for measuring volumes of cryogenic propellants in orbit. A closed-type resonator was developed and experiments that measured the volume of liquid nitrogen in micro-gravity conditions during parabolic flights were conducted. A loudspeaker installed in the resonator was driven by a swept sound from 249.5 to 649.5 Hz, and the response of the electrical impedance was analyzed by the maximum entropy method to determine the resonant frequency every 743 ms. The resonant frequencies obtained under the micro-gravity conditions agree with the data obtained under normal gravity conditions.

A Kinetic Inductance Ammeter with Coplanar Waveguide Input Structure for Magnetic Flux Focusing

We propose a multiplexible kinetic inductance ammeter, which uses a high-quality-factor, superconducting, lumped-element, kinetic inductance resonator as a current sensor, a short, superconducting coplanar waveguide (CPW) for current input, and a CPW transmission line for the sensor readout. The resonator consists of an interdigitated capacitor and a superconducting loop that inductively couples to the input CPW. Current running through the central line of the input CPW generates magnetic fields which are focused into the gaps of the input CPW. These magnetic fields can be measured collectively as the magnetic flux through the superconducting loop. The kinetic inductance of the superconducting loop depends on the screening current for the magnetic flux, so the input current is converted to a change in the frequency of the resonator. We analyze the response and noise of a kinetic inductance ammeter with a high-resistivity NbN loop.     

Experimental study on the characteristic of the NS-GT cut quartz crystal resonator oscillating in the sub-resonant frequency

We previously reported that the dynamic photo-elastic method was a very effective measuring technique for the stress distribution of vibrating quartz crystal resonators. The existence of a twisted asymmetrical vibration mode has been verified experimentally when the NS-GT cut quartz crystal resonator was vibrating in the main resonant frequency (MRF). A MRF and a sub-resonant frequency (SRF) of the NS-GT cut quartz resonator were defined as follows. If a mechanical standing wave was in the x' or y' direction of the resonator, the former was MRF vibration and the latter was SRF vibration, respectively. In this paper, stress distributions of two samples of the NS-GT cut quartz crystal resonator, one of which had a thickness of 80 mum and the other 150 mum, were measured by the dynamic photo-elastic method when the resonators were vibrating in each SRF. Thereafter, vibration modes of those resonators were estimated by the experimental data of stress distributions. We find that the vibration mode of the 80-mum resonator had a simple mechanical standing wave on the y' direction and the vibration mode of the 150-mum resonator was combined with a shearing mode in the SRF vibration. From the experiment, we decided that vibration modes of the NS-GT cut quartz crystal resonator were composed of the longitudinal stress T(3)' belonging to the z' direction of the plate and of the shearing stress T(5)' when the plate thickness was thickened and the resonator was oscillating in the SRF.

Unstable Resonator Optical Parametric Oscillator Based on Quasi-Phase-Matched RbTiOAsO(4)

We demonstrate improved signal and idler-beam quality of a 3-mm-aperture quasi-phase-matched RbTiOAsO(4) optical parametric oscillator through use of a confocal unstable resonator as compared with a plane-parallel resonator. Both oscillators were singly resonant, and the periodically poled RbTiOAsO(4) crystal generated a signal at 1.56 mum and an idler at 3.33 mum when pumped at 1.064 mum. We compared the beam quality produced by the 1.2-magnification confocal unstable resonator with the beam quality produced by the plane-parallel resonator by measuring the signal and the idler beam M(2) value. We also investigated the effect of pump-beam intensity distribution by comparing the result of a Gaussian and a top-hat intensity profile pump beam. We generated a signal beam of M(2) approximately 7 and an idler beam of M(2) approximately 2.5 through use of an unstable resonator and a Gaussian intensity profile pump beam. This corresponds to an increase of a factor of approximately 2 in beam quality for the signal and a factor of 3 for the idler, compared with the beam quality of the plane-parallel resonator optical parametric oscillator.     

A New High-Speed Method of Testing Capacitors

A new high-speed method of determining the capacitance and a quantity which the writers call the pulse series resistance (PSR) of an unknown capacitor is presented. The unknown capacitor is assumed to consist of an ideal capacitor and a series resistor. The test circuit consists of a low-impedance driver, a low-loss coupling capacitor, and a wide-band high-input/low-output impedance video-type amplifier. The unknown capacitor is placed in a negative feedback loop of this amplifier. The input waveform is a trapezoid. The output waveform contains information that is indicative of the capacitance and PSR of the unknown capacitor. The information is obtained by measuring two voltages, one of which is completely independent of the other. Capacitors were measured from approximately 2 pf to 2 ?f with an accuracy of ±5 per cent. The PSR was not available for capacitors less than 100 pF because of test-circuit limitations. The capacitance and PSR of an unknown capacitor could be made available within 500 ?sec with modern voltage-measuring and calculating techniques.     

An interface circuit for R-C impedance sensors with a relaxationoscillator

A simple interface circuit for impedance sensors based on a relaxation oscillator is presented. The measurement strategy and the principle of operation are discussed. The circuit is intended for measuring impedance, which can be represented as a capacitor and a resistor in series. By means of a four-signal measurement technique, continuous self-calibration is achieved. The output signals for both components of the unknown impedance are time periods, and for calculating their values only one reference capacitor is needed. A measurement set-up is presented with which the new method was tested. The experimental results prove that with this new technique, very high resolution for both components of the measured impedance can be achieved-better than 0.1 Ω for R. and better than 0.1 pF for C_x
