  • Abstract
    A technique is presented for measuring the Q of a varactor diode junction when external loss is present. No tuning of the test mount is required, and the need for separate capacitance measurements is eliminated. A numerical data processing technique is illustrated which permits rapid determination of the Q from the measured data.
