Introduction To start at the very beginning, what is an electrical filter? An electrical filter can be passive, active, analog, or digital. It is a device usually composed of discrete components which can be placed between circuits, networks, or equipment/systems to either emphasize, de-emphasize or control the frequency components of a desired or undesired signal. The term … [Read more...]

5 Steps to Selecting the Right RF Power Amplifier
Introduction You need an RF power amplifier. You have measured the power of your signal and it is not enough. You may even have decided on a power level in Watts that you think will meet your needs. Are you ready to shop for an amplifier of that wattage? With so many variations in price, size, and efficiency for amplifiers that are all rated at the same number of Watts, many … [Read more...]

An Isotropic Probe for Radiated Susceptibility Measurements from 10kHz to 18GHz and 5V/m to 220V/m
Abstract: Isotropic probes are available for radiated susceptibility test level measurements from 100kHz to 6GHz, 2MHz to 18GHz, 2MHz to 40GHz and 2MHz to 60GHz. For MIL-STD-461 and DO-160 testing a frequency range of 10kHz to 18GHz would be better and a possible solution is presented here. Introduction The probe described in this paper has three separate sections, … [Read more...]
Functional Safety, Risk Management, EMC and EMI
What is Functional Safety? The safety of products, systems and installations can be split into two parts: i) ‘Basic’ safety: electric shock, excessive temperatures, excessive radiation, fire, explosion, implosion, bruising, pinching, crushing, cutting, emissions of toxic fumes, etc. ii) ‘Functional’ safety: when things being controlled don’t function correctly … [Read more...]
Comparison of PWM VFDs versus Resonant Link Converters – Part 1
AC variable frequency drives (VFDs) have been in existence in a number of forms since the early 1970s. In the early 1980s the “pulse width modulated” (PMW) VFD versions began to appear. This form of motor control produced less motor rotor and stator harmonic heating and delivered smoother torque control at slow motor speeds. Thirty years on PWM VFDs are still the most … [Read more...]
Insertion Loss and Filter Performance
Background Filters are almost always a part of electronics design. Design engineers design a filter to achieve certain attenuation in specified frequency range. There are many types of filters, such as high pass, low pass or bandwidth. Popular filter configurations include L-C, C-L-C (π) or L-C- L (T). It is safe to say that when it comes to filter design, the discussion of … [Read more...]
