Timing measurements Van den Hul CNT
We see in the LCR and Timing measurements that CNT does respond differently than a normal metal cable. First of all, the impedance and phase is incredibly flat up to 300 KHz. The conduction is also practically linear up to 300 KHz. That is absolutely impossible with a metal cable. Capacitance is nicely under control with a maximum of 200pf and eventually around 120pf. So say on average 160pf. That is 80pf per meter, which is decent.
What the Yeti really excels at is constant propagation. The variation is minimal. Maximum 0.1ns on a 2 meter cable. That is very neat. The Van den Hul varies a bit more here. Despite having lower capacitance; that’s a bit odd.
All in all, we see neat measurements that show the special character of Carbon Nanotube cables very well: dead straight impedance and conduction up to at least 300 KHz. And a very stable timing character due to minimal propagation variation.
