Does the J2110A Bode Box accept both +12V and -12V power supply at the same time? I saw only one red banana jack and one black banana...

This application note also shows how the phase margin of a linear voltage regulator (LM317) can be measured using the Bode 100 and...

Most electronic systems contain at least one voltage regulator, with many systems requiring several regulators, each providing a...

When measuring a circuit or device with our network analyzers, engineers generally inject a signal and believe that the measured results...

In this article we’ll take a look at what makes the signal injection transformer special, why an audio or video transformer is not a...

What can be learned from the Step Load response and why we should care? When analyzing power circuits, engineers routinely evaluate the...

In this article we intend to dispel three common myths regarding transformers, and more generally, magnetic coupling. To provide the...

It is often the case, in circuits which use a transformer, that the performance of the circuit is significantly dependent on the...
