Part 7/8:
Future Directions and Troubleshooting Strategies
Given the complex and unpredictable responses, the experimenter plans to revisit the collector configurations, possibly testing the old and new collectors in different arrangements to isolate the effects of the antenna and collector design. The interactions between the collectors, the antenna, and the coil are crucial, and the experimenter suspects that interference or unintended coupling might be causing variability.
Further testing may involve using different grounding setups, more insulated wiring, or alternative coil configurations to reduce capacitive coupling or electromagnetic interference. Employing additional measurement techniques or more sophisticated shielding could also help clarify the circuit's behavior.
