RF CT



Original poster: Thomas <tom-at-pwrcom-dot-com.au> 

I had a win tonight.

I made a current transformer, RF rectifier and meter with an attenuator pot.

I passed the secondary earth through the CT turned the attenuator fully on
and powered up the coil.

Bingo! Half scale reading exactly, I then turned the attenuator all the way
off and got a full scale reading!!

Considering that the number of turns on the CT (7) and pot size (10k) were
only very roughly calculated this came as a nice surprise.

Now I can do some real tuning and air gap tweaking/redesign with quantitive
result comparisons.
