Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

In this article, we will explore AC analysis with the “.AC” directive, one of the main techniques for evaluating the frequency response of circuits. It is one of the most powerful features of SPICE ...

The rules of the National Electrical Code are written for people who have a pre-existing knowledge of electricity. In order to make sense of the Code, you must first understand basic electrical ...

Industrial and commercial customers constantly scrutinize their monthly electrical usage, looking for ways to save money. Installing power factor correction capacitors can reduce costly penalties ...

SPICE simulations determine power supply decoupling performance. David Bourner, National Semiconductor, Columbia, Md. Noise management, induced by digital circuits on a p. c. board assembly, deserves ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

The author is a consultant in Carterton, New Zealand. This follows up his December article “Tuned Bandpass Filter Is Solution to Backup STL.” Many years ago, the active whip antenna and the active ...
