Jak zbadać częstotliwość kubitów królewskich?

How to measure the frequency of royal qubits?

To check whether the so-called "royal cubit" (i.e., a ring or other element with a circumference corresponding to the royal cubit) actually "resonates" at the declared frequency (most commonly around 144 MHz), one can use several measurement methods from the field of radio engineering and electronics w.cz. (high frequencies). Below are some methods and tips.

Using an antenna analyzer

  1. Equipment:
    • It is best to have an antenna analyzer covering the VHF range (e.g., up to 200–300 MHz).
    • Popular models (such as mini-VNA, NanoVNA, RigExpert, etc.) allow for measuring the standing wave ratio (SWR) and the reflection parameter (S11) in a specified frequency range.
  2. Connection:
    • If you have a wire ring of the length of a "royal cubit," you can try to make a "loop" from it and connect it to the analyzer's output via a short section of coaxial cable, ensuring proper connection (e.g., using a specially prepared holder or coupling probe).
    • You can also use capacitive or inductive coupling – that is, do not connect the ring directly, but bring a coil or the analyzer's measurement "loop" close to it, so as to register the frequency at which there is a minimum of transmission (or a maximum of the reflected signal).
  3. Measurements:
    • Scan the frequency range from, say, 50 MHz to 200 MHz and observe at which frequencies a distinct "dip" (minimum) appears in the S11 characteristic (or maximum S21, if we have the capability for two-point measurement).
    • If there is indeed a clear resonant frequency around 144 MHz, it should be visible on the graph.
  4. Result interpretation:
    • If the ring had a well-defined resonant frequency around 144 MHz, you would see a distinct minimum.
    • However, it should be noted that in practice such a "bare" ring may have more than one resonance (this depends m.in. on the shape, wire cross-section, quality of contacts, environmental conditions).

Method with a GDO (Grid Dip Oscillator) device

  1. Equipment:
    • Classic GDO (currently less popular, but still found among amateur radio operators).
  2. Operating principle:
    • This device generates a signal w.cz. in a wide range and measures the "dip" of the grid current (in older tube designs) or an analogous effect in transistor versions - at the moment when the tested circuit resonates with the generated signal.
  3. Measurement procedure:
    • Place the ring (royal qubit) close to the GDO coil.
    • Tune the generator in the range of about 100–200 MHz and observe if at some point the indicator (meter built into the GDO) shows a clear dip.
    • Then read the frequency (or approximate value from the instrument scale).
  4. Advantages and limitations:
    • A simple method, but requires some practice, as the GDO requires a "good feel" for the distance of the probe from the tested object for the measurement to be reliable.
    • The accuracy of the frequency reading depends on the quality and calibration of the GDO.

Use of a signal generator and field strength meter

  1. Equipment:
    • Generator w.cz. with the ability to set the frequency in the range of e.g. 100–200 MHz and power adjustment.
    • A simple field strength meter or even a small receiving antenna connected to an SDR (Software Defined Radio) receiver.
  2. Procedure:
    • Set the generator to the selected frequency and place the ring-qubit nearby (a few centimeters to a dozen centimeters).
    • By changing the generator frequency around 140–150 MHz, observe the signal level on the meter.
    • When you hit the resonance frequency, the signal level recorded by the meter (or the drop in signal, depending on the circuit design) may change significantly.
  3. Accuracy:
    • The method is more "workshop-based" and may require a few attempts, but it allows for the detection of resonance near the expected range.

Factors to pay attention to

  1. Environment:
    • Resonance may change depending on whether the ring is held in hand, lying on a desk, its distance from metal objects, etc.
    • The higher the frequency, the more significant these factors become.
  2. Precision of execution:
    • Resonant frequency also depends on the diameter or cross-section of the wire.
    • The quality of the connection of the ends (if the ring is soldered) and whether there is a layer of oxides on the surface also have an impact.
    • The actual resonance may differ slightly from the theoretical 144 MHz (e.g., 142 or 146 MHz).
  3. Measurement vs. "energy theory":
    • When we talk about the royal cubit in the esoteric or radiesthetic context, the often cited values (e.g., 144 MHz) result from theories related to sacred geometry or the so-called "cosmic harmony."
    • In a strictly physical measurement, it may turn out that the resonance falls closer to 140 or 150 MHz.
    • Resonance may also be weakly noticeable if the ring does not meet exact dimensions or is not treated as a classic resonant circuit.
  4. Repeatability:
    • To obtain a repeatable result, it is best to conduct measurements under the same conditions (the same position of the ring, the same distance to the device, etc.).

Summary

The simplest and most straightforward method is to use an antenna analyzer or VNA (Vector Network Analyzer), which will allow you to see exactly where the minimum or maximum of the resonance-related characteristic occurs.

  • GDO (Grid Dip Oscillator): This is a traditional tool for shortwave radio enthusiasts – quite simple to use, although less accurate than modern analyzers.
  • Generator + probe: This method is also possible, although it requires more improvisation and is less "automatic."

Keep in mind that in practice, achieving a perfectly "clean" resonance around exactly 144 MHz can be challenging. Differences of a few MHz are normal depending on how accurately the ring is made and the measurement environment it is in.

If you want to ensure that your royal qubit resonates at a specific frequency point, try to find someone (e.g., a radio amateur, an electronics engineer w.cz. ) with the appropriate measuring equipment. A short joint session with an analyzer will clearly determine the actual resonance frequency.
