Do mm-Wave power amplifiers need isolators? The answer is often, “YES!” It’s common to see a #mmWave power amplifier with an isolator attached to the output port, but this usually has less to do with matching the impedance of the amplifier and more to do with the impedance matching of the load. Manufacturers often attach an isolator to the output because they have no control over the impedance match of the customer’s system. The figure below gives an illustration of the problem. When the amplifier is tested at the factory everything is working fine: normal operating temperature for a specified amount of DC power. However, when the customer installs it in their system, the performance degrades because of an impedance mismatch which causes part of the signal to be reflected back toward the amplifier. This can result in reduced output power, increased operating temperature, and an increased draw from the DC power supplies. #mmWave #MicroHarmonics #technology #rfengineering #amplifier #isolator

The full wave rectifier bridge is one of the many fascinating things in electronics. Diodes and transistors helped transition the world of electrical engineering as it's today.
Full-wave rectifiers are commonly used in power supplies to convert AC to DC, providing the steady DC voltage needed for electronic devices. There are two main types of full-wave rectifiers: Center-Tapped Full-Wave Rectifier and Bridge Rectifier. A Bridge Rectifier uses four diodes in a bridge configuration to convert both the positive and negative halves of the AC input into DC. ▶️ During the positive half-cycle of the AC waveform, diodes D1 and D2 are forward-biased, allowing current to flow through the load in the direction indicated. Diodes D3 and D4 are reverse-biased during this half-cycle and do not conduct. ▶️ During the negative half-cycle of the AC waveform, diodes D3 and D4 become forward-biased, allowing current to flow through the load in the same direction as during the positive half-cycle. Diodes D1 and D2 are reverse-biased in this cycle, preventing current from flowing through them. This consistent direction of current through the load results in a continuous DC output, as seen in the rectified waveform. In practical applications, a smoothing capacitor is often added to the output of the rectifier to smooth out the ripples in the DC output, providing a more steady and smooth DC voltage. However, this capacitor is not shown here, as the focus is on the basic operation of the bridge rectifier itself. #Diodes #ElectricalEngineering

Hello everyone., An electrical network is an interconnection of the electrical components eg .,batteries, resistors, inductors, capacitors, switches, transistors or a model of such an interconnection, consisting of electrical elements eg.voltage sources, current sources, resistances, inductances, capacitances. An electrical circuit is a network consisting of a closed loop, giving a return path for the current. Thus all circuits are networks, but not all networks are circuits although networks without a closed loop are often imprecisely referred to as a "circuits". Linear electrical networks, a special type of consisting only of the sources voltage or current in linear lumped elements resistors, capacitors, inductors and linear distributed elements of transmission lines, have the property that the signals are linearly superimposable. They are thus more easily analyzed and using powerful frequency domain the methods such as Laplace transforms, to determine DC response, AC response, and transient response in an the networ. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

Inverter Modes in AC UPS : Converts the DC power to sinusoidal AC power and Uses a high frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) switching technique to achieve low distortion sinewave power while retaining good transient response voltage regulation. Operates in the following modes. Mode 1. NORMAL Constant voltage output regulated to ±1% for power loading between 0 and 100%. Mode 2. OVERLOAD. 100% to 125%of rated load. Constant voltage output but 10- minute timer initiated which upon expiring will shutdown the inverter. 125% to 150% overload will shutdown the inverter after 1 minute. These are long enough to cope with starting up surges and current inrushes in the load. When the load exceeds 100% the static switch will transfer the load to Bypass (if available) after 10 or 1 minute depending on the overload percentage.

Switch usage knowledge: DC circuit 1. Electric arc refers to the spark generated between the contacts when a switch disconnects the circuit. The larger the current, the more likely it is to occur, the faster the switching speed of the contacts, and the longer the duration. Long duration can lead to severe consumption of contacts. 2. Switching action of DC circuit In an AC circuit where the direction of current flow changes, the arc will extinguish every time the voltage reaches 0V. In DC circuits, the direction of current flow is constant, and a long arc duration can lead to contact consumption and reduced durability. And there will also be contact transfer phenomenon, resulting in bumps and depressions on the contacts, which cannot be separated due to jamming and may cause misoperation. And there will also be contact transfer phenomenon, resulting in bumps and depressions on the contacts, which cannot be separated due to jamming and may cause misoperation. Please make sure to use switches with DC ratings in DC circuits and use them according to their ratings. #DC #Switch
