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 ...

Ripples arise while characterizing devices at RF and microwave frequencies. RF engineers need to make sure that measurement set-up is properly calibrated and matched in order to avoid measurement ...

Typically included are scales for SWR, attenuation, return loss, and transmission and reflection coefficients. A CALCULATOR Calculations may be simplified using a ZY chart (Fig. 2). On the ZY chart, ...

In today’s high-speed digital designs, signal-integrity issues such as reflections, excessive losses, and crosstalk can degrade system performance. There are techniques through the use of time-domain ...

If you are an old hand at RF design, you probably have a good handle on matching impedance. However, if you are just getting started with RF, [FesZ Electronic]’s latest video series on lossless ...

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 ...

There came a time when high-speed electronic circuits reached speeds that required engineers to analyze the design for signal ...

A wavy polymer membrane triples the output of ultrasound-driven triboelectric nanogenerators by channeling vibration into ...
