collected-data

Measurement data that has been collected first-hand, that would benefit the community.

That is to say: don't post information you got from somewhere else here.

What to include

To create a pull-request into this repo (read: to publish data here):

  • Create your own directory for the data, unless you are contributing to an existing collection of measurements.
  • Create a README.md in that directory that explains what the data is and why it's useful to the community (if not obvious).
  • Include the measurement meathodology:
    • What measurement equipment was used? Make and model, where appropriate. Was is calibrated?
    • Configuration of measurement equipment, device under test, and anything else relevant. What was connected to what?
    • Any other relevant information that would help a reader understand just what they're looking at.
  • Include the data in both raw format, and analyzed format, where appropriate. For example:
    • Include an image that shows the conclusion quickly: "The SWR at 145MHz is 1.2:1"
    • Include the .s2p file that was used to generate that conclusion, so that others can analyze the data differently: "Sure, but it's entirely reactive. The X=0 point is at 162MHz." Or whatever.

Questions

How big is the Transformer FRA PCB?

It measures 59.1 × 26.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Transformer FRA use?

11 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Transformer FRA KiCad files?

From the open-headset-interconnect-standard/collected-data repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Audio Transformers/Transformer-FRA/Transformer-FRA.kicad_pcb and its schematic Audio Transformers/Transformer-FRA/Transformer-FRA.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Transformer FRA design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask open-headset-interconnect-standard before reusing the design.
