The question of time vs. frequency, as the most useful measurement domain, has long been a controversial topic. In some cases, it leads to rather heated discussions. The argument in favor of a vector ...

The basic concepts underpinning time-domain reflectometry. Difference between frequency- and time-domain analysis. Some applications of TDR measurements. Time-domain reflectometry (TDR) is a technique ...

Ceramic capacitors play an oversized role in circuit performance as a major contributor to voltage regulator control loop stability and power delivery network (PDN) impedance. When designing with ...

If you want to analyze an antenna, you can use simulation software or you can build an antenna and make measurements. [All Electroncs Channel] does both and show you how you can do it, too, in the ...

There are different ways, techniques, and equipment available to test antennas. As with any antenna system, regular testing as a component of an overall maintenance program will ensure maximum ...

If you’ve done any amount of electronic design work, you’ll be familiar with the need for decoupling capacitors. Sometimes a chip’s datasheet will tell you exactly what kind of caps to place where, ...
