Q Meter
What is Q meter and mention its components?
The Q Meter or Quality Factor Meter is the electronic device that used to calculate or measure the value of quality factor in many telecommunication circuits, in hardware and in electronics engineering. This meter based on the principle of the resonance.
Components of Q meter:
- Meter
- Coupling Coil
- Detector
- Tunable Oscillator
- Capacitor
- Q scale
What is the main objective of the Q meter?
The main objective of the Q meter is to measure or calculate the value of quality factor of the electrical system. It evaluate the current and voltage of the given circuit or system to measure the quality factor. It helps to determine the accuracy and power of the many electrical devices like capacitor, inductor, etc.
Mention the various filed where we use Q meter and give two application of Q meter.
There are many field where we use the Q meter like in telecommunication or radio systems, in electrical industries, in signals transmitting, in electrical system to measure the power and accuracy of these systems.
- It helps to determine the accuracy and power of the many electrical devices like capacitor, inductor, etc.
- It also determine the resonant frequency of various electrical circuits which help us in determining the accuracy and power of these circuits.
Q Meter
It is an electronic device used in communication like telecommunication in hardware and electronics to determine or calculate the value of the quality factor of the electrical system. It is also used in electric capacitors to measure the value of capacitance and in inductors to calculate the value of inductance. It works and runs on the principle of resonance. When the circuit is in the condition of resonance, the circuit’s impedance becomes resistive. It also measures or calculates the reactance of many unknown circuits by using the known reactance. It is also known as the Quality Factor Meter.
