Film capacitors are used more than ceramic Capacitors. Film capacitors are suitable for a wide range of capacitance values whereas ceramic capacitors are suitable for a range of capacitance. Definition and Types of Capacitors Capacitors are electrical devices used to…
In binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), the phase of a carrier is changed according to the digital pulses signal. BPSK modulator is a phase modulator. Here the transmitted signal is a sinusoid of fixed amplitude. It has one fixed phase when…
To measure inductance with an oscilloscope, you can use three frequent methods. The first one is the resonant frequency method, the second one involves using a resistor of known value and the third one is by using voltage-current slope. Inductances…
To zoom in or out a signal in an oscilloscope, you need to change the scales of the axes. Use the knob for the horizontal axis and set the µs/div to a lower value. This will allow you to zoom…
An electric motor is an electrical device that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy. Ferguson, Missouri serves as the corporate headquarters for the American multinational Emerson Electric Co. The company manufactures products and provides engineering services for industrial, commercial, and…
To determine the threshold voltage, use the equation of the drain current as a function of the gate to source voltage VGS in the VDS saturation region. VDS(sat)=> VGS-Vth defines the saturation region. The transfer curve at drain current saturation…
Digital counters are being used in many different sectors of our life. You can use it in digital clocks, analog to digital converters, frequency counters, time measurements, and many other purposes. But if you can build your own digital counter,…
You cannot use a 12V power supply on a 5V. It will cause the device to draw more current than it is designed for and will likely burn out, causing fire hazards and explosions. In other words, if the applied…
DC offset is the mean amplitude displacement from zero. It shifts the reference level of your oscilloscope from the original ground or center zero point. The reference level shifts due to the addition of a DC voltage to your output…
