About this document
VCO Design and Coax Impedance Guide by pu2ypv is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses empirically determining the inductor for a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit. It describes using a piece of 50-ohm coaxial cable as a temporary inductor to tune the VCO to the desired frequency, then measuring the cable length to determine the equivalent inductance needed. This inductance value can then be used to select the appropriate ceramic coaxial resonator to replace the temporary cable and provide better performance in the VCO circuit.
