1. Episode 45 - How cold is it?
http://www.learningmeasure.tv/... download (video/x-m4v, 312.11Mb)

Description: This episode is about temperature. We are planning this being the first of a short series on the subject. A broad overview of the subject is given in this episode, with some of the history of temperature scales. The “zeroth” law of thermodynamics is described, as well as some of the basic concepts associated with [...]

2. Episode 43 - Black Bodies - Take Two
http://www.learningmeasure.tv/... download (video/x-m4v, 192.98Mb)

Description: I just realized the wrong file was pointed to for episode 43, it actually pointed to episode 9. Sorry about that. Here is episode 43 again, with the correct file. I am currently shooting Episode 44, so look for that soon.

3. Episode 43 - Blackbodies
http://www.learningmeasure.tv/... download (video/x-m4v, 277.84Mb)

Description: Example Blackbody Source - Image via Wikipedia In this episode the topic of blackbody or thermal radiation is discussed. This is a connection between radiometry and photometry and temperature measurement. Discussed are blackbodies and what are called greybodies (blackbodies with emissivities < 0.99) Blackbody and greybody sources are used in the calibration of radiometric devices. The [...]

4. Episode 42 - Life, the Universe, and Radiometry?
http://www.learningmeasure.tv/... download (video/x-m4v, 333.23Mb)

Description: This is our latest podcast on the subject of Radiometry. It has been awhile since our last podcast, and in this podcast I explain what is going on. I recorded this twice, and used footage from both attempts, but I am not perfectly happy with the result, but it has been awhile so I decided [...]

5. Episode 41 - S-parameter Measurements
http://www.learningmeasure.tv/... download (video/x-m4v, 262.47Mb)

Description: In this episode we go over some basics S-parameter measurement. These include a description of a type of directional coupler, the basic concept of how to represent a reflectometer as a two-port device, and finally how to calibrate the associated model parameters using an open short and load. The measurements of a two-port device are [...]

6. Episode 40 - S-parameters
http://www.learningmeasure.tv/... download (video/x-m4v, 240.13Mb)

Description: This is the first in a series of podcasts on the subject of RF and microwave measurement. In this episode we reintroduce S-parameters, and give some of the basic equations for cascading a two-port and a one-port or two-port. S-parameters come from a concept that was borrowed from particle physics by electrical engineers to solve [...]

7. Episode 39 - Louis Parker
http://www.learningmeasure.tv/... download (video/x-m4v, 293.46Mb)

Description: In this episode we do something a little different. We did our first interview using the Mac software iChat to do the interview remotely. Louis Parker, the person interviewed in this podcast, is a member of the LearningMeasure.com consultant network, and is owner of Test & Measurement Consulting, LLC. Louis has 20+ years in RF/Wireless with an [...]

8. Episode 38 - Gravity Waves
http://www.learningmeasure.tv/... download (video/x-m4v, 232.11Mb)

Description: This is an episode about gravity waves and the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory or LIGO experiment. This was something requested by one of you, and here it is! I am also trying to get someone on the podcast who has something to do with this experiment in a future episode. So if you want [...]

9. Episode 37 - About Us
http://www.learningmeasure.tv/... download (video/x-m4v, 75.95Mb)

Description: There have been a lot of changes to the LearningMeasure.com website since Episode 0, so it seemed that this might be a good time to do a screencast to tour the site. We are trying to work on some new ideas for the podcast, so it has been awhile, but we will be doing some [...]

10. Episode 36 - Mixing up the meter
http://www.learningmeasure.tv/... download (video/x-m4v, 247.06Mb)

Description: In this episode, we discus how one might realize the meter electromagnetically. I will be at the Measurement Science Conference this week, and hope to meet any of you who might be there.
