A new simple method for the in situ measurement of the surface transfer impedance of coaxial cables i s described. The method is based on injecting a disturbing current onto the outside of the test cable and measuring the corresponding uoltage induced on the center conductor. It is shown to produce reliable results at frequencies up to 150 MHz with the use of a I-m length of cable. 0 1996 John Mley & Sons, Inc.

ABSTRACT
Wepresent studies and test results on the mechanism of C / N detenoration of the transmission wave caused by the feedback to the control sections within the same housing. We consider the relatwnship between this deterioration and the Q value of the oscillating circuit of the VCO.We study improvement of the Q value. 0 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
