Analog Circuit Analysis can be difficult. Consider the circuit below. It includes a Series Resonant Circuit. With Ideal Impedances, the Series Impedance is equal to zero at the resonant frequency. A ...

Ex-movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg has also worked as a high-end audio salesman, and as a record producer. Steve reviewed audio products for CNET and worked as a freelance writer for ...

More often than not a question pops up in our forum about speaker impedance and the result of connecting multiple speakers to a single amplifier. Thus we have prepared this introductory tutorial to ...

Have you ever wondered what makes a loudspeaker “difficult to drive”? Do you wonder what’s so special about an amplifier that is stable into a 4 ohm load? If these are the kinds of questions that ...

The basic concepts underpinning time-domain reflectometry. Difference between frequency- and time-domain analysis. Some applications of TDR measurements. Time-domain reflectometry (TDR) is a technique ...

Last weekend I finally got down to testing a prototype of a power amplifier I had been designing for a while. This amp has a bit of a unique output topology, and I was keen to see how it behaved when ...

Fracture toughness is a critical measure of a material's ability to resist crack propagation in the presence of pre-existing flaws. Resistance curve (J–R curve) analysis, employing parameters such as ...
