engineer

A capacitor’s resistance to the flow of alternating current (AC) is referred to as its impedance. Like resistance, impedance is unique to AC circuits because it considers the amplitude and phase shift of the current relative to the voltage. Although impedance is similar to resistance, it is not the same

The Ultimate Guide to S Parameters

29/07/2023, hardwarebee

The linear characteristics of radio frequency (RF) networks, circuits, and components are described by scattering parameters (S-parameters). They measure the propagation of RF energy through a system and contain data on its essential properties, such as gain, loss, impedance, phase, and stability. S-parameters can be measured or saved in ordinary
