You would like to measure the input impedance of your circuit with a 50 ohm network analyze.r At the frequency you are interested in you measure a reflection coefficient of 0.8-j0.4. What is the ...

This note is the second part of Fairchild’s series on Must Do’s to Understand a Flyback Output Filter. In this section, the advantage of the 2nd stage LC output filters will be presented again along ...

Have you heard recommendations to use a particular termination in particular situations for good signal integrity? Have you ever wondered how to incorporate terminations in your design? While there ...

Upon initial look, the Smith chart appears to be quite complicated. Although the basis for the chart is deeply rooted in complex variable theory, you do not have to be a graduate-level mathematician ...

A time domain reflectometer (TDR) measures reflections along a cable. It is similar in principle to radar. To measure those reflections, the TDR transmits an incident signal into the cable and watches ...

Solomon Mingle, PhD, a Ghanaian scholar at University of Birmingham has developed a Leaky Wave Antenna (LWA) for remote vital signs detection using leaky wave theory (LWT). While LWT, or LWA, is not a ...
