Video: Sweep Generator Basics

[w2aew]

I put this video together for a friend, and thought I'd share it here.  It discusses what a sweep generator is, and how it can be used to visualize the "shape" of a filter (or in this case, and IF transformer), which can help in visually seeing what is happening during alignment of a radio receiver.  It starts off with a bit an intro to an IF transformer, and then moves into the sweep gen.

Enjoy!

In a world full of phoneys,w2aew,like Dave, is the real deal!

He not only knows his stuff,but can communicate it in a straightforward manner!

His videos are like standing in a friend's workshop,being shown a new trick.
When he talks to you,it is as if you are on the same level,but hadn't run into the particular method before,--not a hint of a superior attitude!.
