THIS book is a theoretical and practical handbook for the use of advanced students. The best methods at present in use for measuring inductance, capacitance, and effective resistance both at low and ...

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 ...

Ever wondered how engineers inspect capacitors, resistors, and inductors? The solution is frequently in a device known as an LCR meter. The tool is quite valuable since it measures three significant ...

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 ...

This circuit for measurement of inductance and capacitance can be used to test whether the values of inductors and capacitors quoted by the manufacturer are correct. The principle used in the circuit ...

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 ...

The shift from planar designs to multi-die assemblies with complex interconnects is transforming what had become almost an afterthought in the design process into a first-order challenge. Parasitics ...

Inductors range from RF coils used in communications through switchmode inductors used in power supplies and differential and common mode inductors in EMI filters. As switchmode power supply designs ...

A new approach to designing a synchronous rectifier will help engineers unlock efficiency gains that extend beyond ...

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 ...
