One of the issues that beginning electronic engineers must grasp is the concept of impedance and impedance matching, epically with respect to transmission lines, cables, and connectors. This FAQ ...

There came a time when high-speed electronic circuits reached speeds that required engineers to analyze the design for signal ...

We are specifically and deliberately going to do without the Smith chart today and look at some transmission line properties from a very basic perspective. Consider a transmission line, a coaxial ...

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 ...

Your radio station transmitter is a perfect 50 ohm source connected to pure 50 ohm line that feeds an ideal 50 ohm antenna. What are the current and voltage characteristics along the transmission line ...

Download the full pdf of this article, which includes the inline equations and diagrams. Discussion continues at the national level about power grid upgrades to support increased electrification. In ...

As you probably know if you've been shopping for cables, coax for most video applications is "75 ohm" coax–but what the heck does that mean, anyway? This article is a short, non-technical explanation ...

Have you heard recommendations to use a particular termination in particular situations for good signal integrity? Have you ever wondered how to incorporate terminations in your design? While there ...
