When both of the inductor terminals are respectively connected to each terminal of the other inductor or inductors, they are said to be in parallel connection. The total inductance is less than any ...

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 ...

For RF inductor selection, José Martos and Heinz Zenkner stress the importance of evaluating inductance, natural resonant frequency, quality, DC resistance and rated current for high-frequency ...

While LCR meters are readily available at reasonable cost, they do not measure the Q of an inductor. This circuit enables you to measure the Q of inductors with the aid of an RF signal generator. A ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

Power electronics are rapidly expanding into new applications as high-power semiconductor devices increase their rated operating current and frequencies to higher and higher levels. As a basic ...

It’s often necessary to connect point-of- load (POL) dc/dc power supply modules in parallel to get a sufficiently high-current output for applications such as test instruments, blade servers, and so ...
