When discussing electronic circuits, I often lock onto the circuit's magnitude characteristics. For example, we refer to filters as high pass, low pass, or band pass, which is a shorthand way to ...

Intermodulation distortion is one of the most interesting signal analyzer measurements. Often abbreviated IMD, it is an important metric of linearity for a wide range of RF and microwave components.

In an earlier post, the expression “feed forward” was discussed with respect to a control function used in some switch-mode power supplies. However, the term has other meanings as well. We are now ...

Transmitting high-speed data over a cable or printed-circuit-board (PCB) path will significantly attenuate and distort the signal. Transmission paths are usually transmission lines that introduce ...
