This article presents a concept of a wave together with the wave equations and their solutions.

Resonance phenomenon is explained using several common decoupling capacitor configurations.

The fundamental circuit background is presented and illustrated by the resonance phenomenon in the non-ideal models of passive circuit components: capacitors, ferrite beads, resistors, and inductors.

This article discusses the reflections on a transmission line terminated with either an RL or an RC load.
