A note on floating short circuited loops for inductor tuning.

In older equipment (circa WWII) we occasionally see a short circuited loop or small disc inside a coil to adjust the inductance.  This certainly works but has a bad effect on coil Q.  Attached is a very short note on a experimental test of this type of inductance adjustment.  Download Chapter 6 tuning loop note
