It used to be that I’d post just about anything here. However, after a few months of posting circuit design articles, I developed a consistent readership and decided that most of you aren’t interested in my daily life and/or the tech hobbies that I might be up to. As a result, I separated my personally-centered […]

What’s even cooler about this reactance is that the Non-Foster region is determined by the switching frequency–so, one could move it around just by changing the switching frequency. You’d effectively have a digitally-tunable antenna.

I’ve been doing some statistical measurements lately (more to follow). It occurs to me that while most people measure the mean of a set of measurements, the median is more useful.

Some of you may have noticed that the site was down for a day last week. Expect a bit more down-time: I’m going to do a bit of experimentation to ensure that future down-time doesn’t happen again (improve reliability).

Special thanks to Justin Patrin for his awesome ASCIIMathML plugin. From now on, equations will look nicer, like: [amath]arc=2*cos^-1(1-r_2^2/(2*r_1^2))*r_1[/amath] You rock, Justin! I (and my readers) thank you.

Introduction You’ll notice that this post has Matt Miller listed as the author. Poojan requested Matt’s comments on his differential circuit post. Poojan was impressed with my comments enough that he decided to make it a follow-up post. So, this post is co-written by both Poojan and Matt.

Introduction From my personal blog: I’ve been lucky enough to find myself in a team that’s intent on finding the best circuit design for a given application. This doesn’t happen often to many people, but I feel that I’ve had more than my share of this opportunity. The conclusion is usually that we come up […]
