This article aims to explain why impedance matching is required for extracting the maximum gain from transistors, as is typically required in RF applications. We start by using a rough model of the transistor's input and then perform a full small-signal analysis, proving the argument in depth. Transistors
This article explores three methods to determine a PCB’s effective dielectric constant by analyzing resonance and reflection peaks, enabling accurate permittivity extraction for design and simulation.
Low-pass filtering is key for noise reduction, sensor averaging, and controller stabilization. This article introduces a second-order low-pass filter, adjustable via complex pole placement in the Z-plane for optimal resonance and Q factor.
Crystal resonators are essential for high-stability oscillators, offering low cost, precision, stability, and low-power consumption. This article explores the extraction of their electrical parameters to optimize performance in electronic design.
This study focuses on the design, construction, and evaluation of a 50 Ohm loop antenna for the 434 MHz band. Beginning with a full-wave round loop antenna, the design evolves into a 2:1 rectangular loop, with experiments conducted to assess prototype performance and the effects of material choices.
