Distortion comes in two basic classes: Linear distortion, which is not an oxymoron; and nonlinear distortion, which includes all other distortions except noise. Noise is quite another matter and is ...

When discussing electronic circuits, I often lock onto the circuit's magnitude characteristics. For example, we refer to filters as high pass, low pass, or band pass, which is a shorthand way to ...

Stellar plasma can smear alien radio signals before they escape their star system, making them harder for astronomers to detect.

Baluns enable impedance matching, minimize signal distortion, and suppress common-mode noise in RF and high-frequency designs ...

A signal generator, a general-purpose piece of test equipment, performs numerous measurements for a variety of applications requiring electromagnetic wave signals as stimuli. Its roots trace back to ...

When it’s time for your station brain trust to set, suggest, or adjust modulation for your station, you might want to bring to that meeting a copy of “The Curious Behavior of FM Receivers During ...

The very term ‘saturation’ sometimes feels like it has a negative value attached to it. Throughout recording history, technology has sought to deliver the cleanest signal possible, so why for the love ...
