It can be done! Remember that a transmission line consists of some self-inductance per unit length, and some capacitance per unit length, and the ratio of these determines the line's characteristic impedance: $$ Z_0=\sqrt{\frac{R+j\omega L}{G+j\omega C}} $$ Intuitively then, a lumped element implementation might look like some series inductance and some ...

The problem is most likely the type 43 core material. It is quite lossy at 21 MHz and is a poor choice for the auto-transformer. Unlike a transmission line transformer, the auto-transformer relies on the coupling of the two coils to partially occur by passing flux through the core. The complex permeability of type 43 material indicates high losses for this ...

This is a magnetic flux transformer, not a transmission line transformer. It works by flux coupling just like a mains power transformer. So the bifilar part isn't too special, nothing like a transmission line transformer. In a regular flux transformer, the position of the winding doesn't really matter, only the number of turns. At RF though there is the ...

VHF transmission line baluns are very difficult to construct due to interwinding capacitance. As a result, the balun will have an undesirable self resonant point and will not typically reach the desired transformation ratio. Note that a balun does not consist of simple primary and secondary turns but rather primary and secondary transmission lines (2 ...

To aid in identifying a mystery ferrite core mix the most common method is to take some measurements to determine the initial permeability (µi). Then compare your results to a table of µi for common core materials. This will put you in the ballpark and likely more than close enough to make an educated guess as to what application(s) the ferrite core would be ...

The transformer is most probably a part of a critical tuned circuit. If the ferrite is broken then the radio keeps working but the filtering is worse. There a a number of ways to find a replacement for the transformer. 1: Try to get the technical manual and find the partnumber and supplier (manufacturer) 2: Look for the information on the pcb and try to ...

I am still of the opinion that it is “unclear what you are asking”. But I will try to answer the two questions that you actually wrote: Q. How does the carrier telophone system works on the conext of radio and most important how does this circuit work in establishing a connection between the receiver and the transmitter. [sic] A. It doesn’t. There is no ...

I thought I'd come back to this having discovered the real reason why I wasn't developing the expected voltage across the 50 ohm load. Glenn's answer was good and is still very relevant, but I made a silly and simple mistake and I'd like to post it up as an answer in case someone else has the same issue. Basically, I had reversed the windings on the toroid....

Chances are you can find what you need here. http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/inductors-coils-chokes/adjustable-inductors/196629?k=toko Could be you broke the slot without moving the coil core. If that's the case you might be better off to leave it alone. If you can solder and want to replace it you need a voltmeter and a schematic. Put the ...
