- Late last year Pete (N4ZR) reported problems with his home brew Bias Tee that included radical shifts in measured impedance when DC voltage was applied to his Bias Tee. Today I decided to make impeda

- We cannot test impedance that way with a DC coupled impedance meter and get good data with any noise in the supply. Any test is meaningless. The .1 capacitor will just couple any distortion or ripple

- Tom, you said "Any test is meaningless", and I don't understand where you are coming from on that statement. If you look at my test, I tested with and without the bias Tee, and I tested with a well r

- Hi Tom, I also just went and changed the RF load resistor to 200 ohms and checked readings at various frequencies where the impedance was part reactive. I also added a 3rd part to the test in which I

- Hi Tom, Thanks for the clarification, and I don't disagree with your most recent posting except I consider a well regulated supply to be one that has low ripple, but that might be where you and I wen
