I'm an junior electronics student working on a personal project.
I'm creating a number of "tank circuits," with a resonant frequency of 97.7 MHz. My capacitors will be of 4.7 microFarads and my inductors will be little over half of a microhenry, or .564615 uH.
Signal source is rated at 4100 ERP and I am trying to discern a couple of things:
1. How should I determine my inductor size -- I know how the equation and all that but I just need a light rundown of wth is really going on.
2. If I know the operating frequency of my signal source as well as the ERP, in addition to the other circuit values I have provided, how can I easily decide what type of voltage this will induce within two corresponding tank ckts within AT MOST 2 miles of the source.
I believe this entire post can be answered with mathematics and a little know-how beyond my current scope of realization. Perhaps a little basic electronics theory and some calculus. Which unfortunately I am without comprehension in regard to.
Thanks a lot and don't be afraid to ask questions back. I have a feeling I will be frequenting this forum often. I have been involved in the study of electrical science and electronics for a little over two years now and finally am nearing the pinnacle of my research.
Everything is gold.
