Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...

In this article, we will explore AC analysis with the “.AC” directive, one of the main techniques for evaluating the frequency response of circuits. It is one of the most powerful features of SPICE ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...

When choosing an automotive capacitor, designers must not only understand the performance characteristics of different technologies, but also how they’re affected by the operating conditions of ...

The author is a consultant in Carterton, New Zealand. This follows up his December article “Tuned Bandpass Filter Is Solution to Backup STL.” Many years ago, the active whip antenna and the active ...
