Streamlining PCB Design with Crossovers for High-Frequency Applications
Oct 23, 2024
Considering the complexities of routing and signal integrity, it’s more and more common to see multilayer printed circuit board (PCB) designs where radio frequencies (RF) or digital traces cross on different layers of the stack.
Looking Closer at Smoothing Capacitors in Electric Vehicles
Oct 16, 2024
In power electronics, rectification is the conversion of alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). After the AC signal enters a rectifier circuit consisting of power diodes, the resulting raw rectified waveform yields a series of half sine waves with significant ripple.
Supercapacitors in Action: Enhancing Backup Power and Load Management
Oct 9, 2024
Supercapacitors, also known as electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), store energy electrostatically rather than via chemical reactions like traditional batteries. Their unique characteristics make them ideal for applications requiring short bursts of power and/or durability over time.
How Do You Make a Pulse in an RLC Circuit?
Oct 2, 2024
One of the fundamental roles of capacitors is charging and discharging energy predictably. Many electronics applications leverage capacitors to store energy and release it in a controlled pulse of current or voltage.
The Roles of Couplers, Combiners, and Dividers in Radar Power Amplifiers
Sep 25, 2024
At the most basic level, high-power amplifiers (HPAs) take signals from the waveform generator and increase the signal level to a higher power.
Knowles Signs a Definitive Agreement for the Sale of the Consumer MEMS Microphone Business
