Abstract: 15,283. Carden, E. D. July 2. Frequency, inductances, capacities, resistances and decrement of electromagnetic waves, measuring.-In a method of determining the electric constants of an aerial or other high-frequency oscillation circuit, an oscillation - generating circuit A, adapted for wave-measurement, is coupled to an adjustable capacity or inductance D, and this inductance &c. is connected by a switch E either to the aerial B or other circuit under test or to a standard circuit C, containing a continuously variable inductance C<1>, condenser C<2>, and ohmic resistance C<3>. A detector D<1> and telephone D<2> are bridged across the inductance D. To determine the capacity, inductance, or wave-length of the aerial, the circuit C is adjusted for a certain inductance D until the circuit CD has the same wave-length as the circuit BD, as shown by the wave-meter A and telephone, and the adjustment is repeated, varying the ratio of capacity to inductance, until for all values of the inductance D the variation of the wave-length produced by connecting it to either of the two circuits is the same. The adjustment of the variometer C' and condenser C<2> then shows the inductance and capacity of the aerial. The effective resistance of the aerial, including all causes, such as radiation, that produce damping, is determined by varying the ohmic resistance C' until the sound in the telephone D<2> is equally loud in both positions of the switch E. The decrement can be calculated from the inductance and apparent resistance of the aerial.
