Lprimary tuning calculation

Hi All,

We know that the primary system needs to be tuned about 5% lower than 
the secondary due to streamer loading.  While playing with ScanTesla, 
I realized that the streamer loading and how it affects tuning is 
fairly straight forward.  A very good estimate (1%) of tuned Lprimary 
inductance is:

Lp = Ls x (Cs + Ca) / Cp

Where:
	Lp = Primary coil inductance
	Ls = Secondary coil inductance
	Cs = Secondary capacitance
	Ca = Arc capacitance = 1pF / foot of streamer
	Cp = Primary capacitance
		
Almost all of the secondary frequency drop is due to the capacitance 
of the streamer and the 220k part of the streamer load is fairly 
insignificant.  Thus we can simply add 1pF/foot of capacitance to 
Csecondary for the calculation.

Cheers,
