When I was in college, most of my RF design courses focused on maximizing signal to noise ratio—that is, they either dealt with methods of improving signal power (optimum power match) or decreasing ...

All the circuits that we have analyzed are linear circuits and we must be more specific in defining a linear circuit. We can consider the most important consequence of linearity, the principle of ...

Legends in the electronics industry are few and far between, but Bob Dobkin – founder of Linear Technology and its CTO – can arguably be considered a legend, having dedicated more than 40 years to ...

Designers often use mathematical models to predict how mechanical and electrical systems will behave. The details expressed by these models, like significant digits in an equation, go only as deep as ...

Temperature is the most widely measured physical variable and designers have many sensing options, among them thermocouples, RTDs, solid-state current-output sensors, and thermistors, to cite just a ...
