Author’s note: This article shows how to derive circuit gain equations via a signal flow graph. With practice you may be able to write a gain equation by locating signal paths and loops in the ...

Analog Circuit Analysis can be difficult. Consider the circuit below. It includes a Series Resonant Circuit. With Ideal Impedances, the Series Impedance is equal to zero at the resonant frequency. A ...

If you’ve ever used an RF signal analyzer, you’re probably used to seeing displays like the spectrum graph or constellation plot. Of course, trusting the answers you get from the instrument often ...

Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks. By ...

In modern electronics, enhancing power efficiency while maintaining or even improving performance is critical. Researchers are addressing these challenges through innovative design improvements and ...

What is an RF detector? An RF detector monitors or samples the output of an RF circuit and develops a dc output voltage proportional to the power at that point. What do you do with an RF detector? RF ...

One of [Brian]’s hobbies is Amateur Ham radio, in which it is usually required to check that the transmitted signals are within specifications. As it isn’t safe to connect the radio’s output directly ...

[Scott] wrote in to us with his simple, but well done RF signal strength meter. As he points out in his post, sometimes an Arduino is overkill, so a Picaxe 08M was used instead. Apparently this was a ...

WILSONVILLE, Ore., March 21, 2014 – Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that it has acquired Berkeley Design Automation, Inc. (BDA), a recognized leader in nanometer analog, ...

For a long time, I have thought that pulse generator outputs should not have adjustable amplitude and offset. Instead, they should have an adjustable top value and a separately adjustable bottom value ...
