Philip Bragg<p>Today I set up my three HP 5335A counters so I could measure the OCXO warmup curves of both the units that have OCXOs using the third, which has an external GPSDO reference. I wrote a PHP script to measure Frequency A and Frequency B alternately every 4 seconds, with A and B inputs connected to the Reference Out sockets of the other two. Here's how it looks on a garish Apple Numbers chart. Both oscillators seem to have a very similar warmup curve - though the frequency offset is slightly different (it's quite hard to calibrate them exactly) <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radio</span></a> <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/rf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rf</span></a> <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/HP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HP</span></a></p>

James MorrisThe results are in, with 18 votes. I kind of like bsky but not seeing a critical mass of people in my areas of interest.<br><br>If you answered other, please feel free to explain.<br><br>In honor of this landslide vote, here's a photo of my latest tinkering: making pipecap filters for an 11 GHz RF multiplier (using the W1GHZ board &amp; design). I'll use brass M3 tuning screws once some arrive from McMaster-Carr, although I'd be interested to see if they are very different to stainless steel. And yes, I had to order them online after not finding any metric brass fasteners locally. Why not use SAE screws? Standard metric screws have much higher TPI, even more than fine-thread SAE. This will provide better mechanical stability &amp; finer tuning, but then again, I'm not building a spaceship here, so 🤷<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/hamradio" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hamradio</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/amateurradio" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amateurradio</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/microwave" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microwave</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/rf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rf</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/nerds" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nerds</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a><span class=""><br><br>RE: <a href="https://social.kernel.org/objects/81c8273c-6a3f-43d9-bfc9-673541118280" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://social.kernel.org/objects/81c8273c-6a3f-43d9-bfc9-673541118280</a></span>
David Hembrow<p>I spent far too much time today trying to work out why my little ESP32C3 Supermini board was having trouble connecting to my WiFi. Turns out that the little ceramic antenna needs to be helped with a 62.5 mm long piece of wire.</p><p>For some reason this problem only made itself known when the device was right next to my WiFi router, but never showed up at all when it was on my desk on another floor. From another floor it worked every time. 10 cm away from the router it needs the extra antenna.</p><p>RF is bonkers.<br><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/esp32" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>esp32</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/rf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rf</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a></p>
Rasmus SA5RJS<p>Dear radio frequency engineering fediverse,</p><p>Do you know of a good article that describes how to conduct a two-tone test to measure intermodulation properly? I understand the basics and I know to generate the test signal and how to measure the result on a TinySA. However, I don't know how to determine if my test signal is clean enough, has a reasonable power level, etc. In other words, I don't trust that I understand my test setup enough to trust my results..</p><p>Do you have any good links?</p><p><a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmateurRadio</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HamRadio</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/RF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RF</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://tilde.zone/tags/RfElectronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RfElectronics</span></a></p>

Packing it in tin foil would be better, but the router would die from overheating. So a fine metal mesh all around would be a cheap and feasible solution.

Everything except VCR, which inexplicably has its own actually separate input, no filtration, and is wired entirely separately other than ground.</p><p>Still think half the wavelength is making its way into the other switches through the ground, though. Because if you send signal in on VCR, and switch to other switches, you lose about 65% of the signal, but you _gain_ a substantial DC offset.</p><p>As designs go, it's kind of amazing.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/rf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rf</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/why" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>why</span></a></p>
Solarbird :flag_cascadia:<p>So the idea that this was only a DC phenomenon is kinda over. The filters hidden under the inputs in that big silver box are doing a _little_ filtering? That's why I think when the proper input is selected the signal level actually goes down a bit. But not very much. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/wtf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wtf</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.murkworks.net/tags/rf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rf</span></a></p>
