PI coil capacitance....

A

Guest
Hi everybody
What is a typical inductance value range for a PI coil? I saw a few coil values in some designs but there were big difference between the designs.
And does someone know the typical capacitance range of commercial PI's coil between the windings and the shield? I measure something between 2.6nF and 3nF at my DIY coils. I measured between the shield and one end of the coil. Could it be correct (in range), wrong or ..... I don't know .... I'm not 100% sure. Need some help on this.....thanks in advance.
Another question is .... my coils are a shielded mono coil design (34wdg/10inch dia/AWG24). Where should I join shield and coil (GND). In front at the search head or at the electronic (PCB). Which point is better and why?
Regards
Chris
 
As this question is being discussed in depth on Carl Moreland's Geotech forum, anyone interested in this subject can find answers there.
