Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...

Last month's column explained that AC current flowing through an inductance reaches its peak amplitude after the voltage. Lagging current is characteristic of an inductive circuit. Capacitive circuits ...

The components in a home audio/video system are pretty complicated to anyone without a good understanding of electronics; but wire–good, old-fashioned wire–is something we can all understand. It’s ...

DURING the last thirty years a very large number of papers has been published on alternating-current bridge methods of measuring inductance and capacity. For adjusting apparatus in radio work an ...

In back-end semiconductor processing it is important to improve the performance of semiconductors due to the limitations of miniaturization in front-end processes. To achieve this goal, the industry ...

Variable current will generate inductance, capacitance, and their related properties of inductive and capacitive reactance. Although there's no energy loss that directly results from these properties, ...

The WAMT and MSMW series of 40-GHz resistor terminators from Mini-Systems Inc. come in 0.020- by 0.010-in. packages with values from 3 to 400 ?, with other standard sizes available on request from 2 ?

The CC-100 IP is a Hyper-decoupling capacitor with a Capacitance Multiplication, Series Inductance Nullification, Cybersecurity Enhancement and an Ene ...

(click thumbnail)Here starts my 60th column for Radio World. I have been writing about wire and cable on and off for eight years now. Occasionally, a reader who stops to chat at a trade show or SBE, ...
