Kapanadze and other FE discussion

It looks like the best deal you can make is buying old used VNA.
Other options:
Software from  Keysight / Agilent is crazy  expensive.

The toughest part is that  we  are dealing with HV.

I do not use any form of decoupler.
Coupling in measured circuit is critical to make it work.
Devices used to measure must not be in any way a part of this process.

Inverse square law is primary tool to  be able to take measurement   safely to equipment.

When possible I  use decade  attenuator.

Short wire 1cm, inside N connector of Spectrum Analyzer not connected to anything
if  HV is involved.

Wesley,

I meant to isolate the power side from ground and kill common mode noise on the supply side, not decouple the measurement side. 

Nice setup with the divider pads though.

but I can't do anything. I wanted to get it. There is a strong desire.
But not yet.

stivep with all those sofiticated instruments what you have not figure out how
make a free energy machine..look just send me over an oscilloscope spectrum analyzer and a swr meter
and i will put you all on a platter the kapadnaze free energy machine..easy.
