Here are some tips for circuit board design: Design in Package Flexibility into Your Next PCB tells that to err is human: to order the wrong component foot print is just part of engineering – it happens to us all who work with hardware. David Cook has a solution that could save your bacon. He →
A network analyzer is an instrument that measures the network parameters of electrical networks. Today, network analyzers commonly measure s–parameters. Full featured network analyzers are expensive instruments, and sometimes a simpler. Scalar Network Analyzer (SNA) is a simpler form of RF network analyzer that only measures the amplitude properties of the device under test. SNA is →
