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 ...

Intermodulation distortion is one of the most interesting signal analyzer measurements. Often abbreviated IMD, it is an important metric of linearity for a wide range of RF and microwave components.

When we think about signals and systems, we often do so with an emphasis on creating and transmitting signals with specific characteristics. That is, we want the signal to have some desired amplitude, ...

Transmitting high-speed data over a cable or printed-circuit-board (PCB) path will significantly attenuate and distort the signal. Transmission paths are usually transmission lines that introduce ...
