Audio systems performance is limited by the worst link in the signal chain. All too often the weakest link is the speaker impedance matching. New circuits make the job easier, and offer more ...

Impedance matching is one of the perpetual confusions for new electronics students, and for good reason: the idea that increasing the impedance of a circuit can lead to more power transmission is ...

Impedance matching is easy if you know the basics. Download the eBook to find out how. The term “impedance matching” is rather straightforward. It’s simply defined as the process of making one ...

Designing a matching circuit is fairly straightforward for a buffered input ADC because it offers almost constant impedance across all frequencies. As we have already seen, this is not the case with ...

It’s one thing to learn about transmission lines in theory, and quite another to watch a voltage pulse bounce off an open connector. [Alpha Phoenix] bridges the gap between knowledge and understanding ...

All engineers know resistance is usually bad news. It generates heat. It reduces efficiency. It wears out components and cuts operational lifetimes. However, resistance is not the only kind of ...

Download this article in PDF format. Arbitrary function generators (AFGs) are used to generate many different types of electrical waveforms, such as sine waves, square waves, triangular waves, and ...
