Impact of Decoupling Capacitors and Embedded Capacitance on Impedance of Power and Ground Planes: Part I

We investigate two four-layer PCBs with power and ground plane pairs spaced 3 mils and 30 mils apart.

Standards Development Process

The standards development and revision process can appear to be a lot like consulting some hallowed oracle with edicts or directives that cannot be questioned.

Banana Skins – March 2020 (#258-264)

Selecting the Proper RF Amplifier for the Required Field Strength

More power costs more money when it comes to broadband power amplifiers, so we typically only specify/buy to meet our current needs rather than what we may need in the future.

EMC Filters Comparison Part II: π and T Filters

In this article the performance of the π and T filters is evaluated and compared to that of the CL and LC filters.
