Delay lines are used in applications that require a signal delay of a few nanoseconds (ns) or where incremental timing corrections are needed for the system to work properly. This article discusses ...

Many power ICs use frequency jitter, which spreads a control signal's spectrum, to control EMI (electromagnetic interference). If you need to add frequency jitter to power ICs that control three-phase ...

Modern oscilloscopes capture, view, measure, and analyze complex RF signals in the time, frequency, and modulation domains. Time-domain analysis, the original oscilloscope function, allows users to ...

If you want to extract a signal from a huge amount of noise, a lock-in amplifier is the ideal tool. But when it comes to buying one, doing your homework first can avoid a costly mistake, advises ...

The analysis of RF and microwave signals in the frequency domain used to be the forte of the spectrum analyzer, but now it’s become a choice between signal analyzers and digital oscilloscopes. How did ...

Waves in water are transverse. This means that the vibrations causing the waves are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. As this little boat demonstrates, you can see that the waves are ...
