The author is a broadcast contract engineer who has a unique way of measuring the carrier frequency of the AM stations in his care. Making off-air frequency measurements of AM broadcast stations can ...

Today, high-speed digitizer systems operating above 100 MSa/s are being used in a diverse range of applications: operation of single-pulse linear induction accelerators for flash radiographic ...

Electrical engineering students rarely leave college with knowledge depth in both digital electronics and RF/microwave theory. The new engineer with digital design skills likely chose that path from a ...

Frequency response measurements are a mainstay of RF communications design and generally considered a routine task—unless one of the device ports happens to be at I-Q baseband. Here, the convenience ...

A new method for measuring distance based on an optical frequency comb has been unveiled by physicists in the Netherlands. The main benefit of the technique, which involves passing the light from an ...

Counting frequency is one of those tasks that seems simple on the face of it, but actually has quite a bit of nuance. There are two obvious methods, of which the first is to count zero crossings for ...

When comparing published electrical values, engineers require a common basis for comparison. Ideally, a 100 nH inductor with a self resonant frequency (SRF) of 1 GHz from one manufacturer is ...
