For a Direct-conversion(Zero-IF) receiver, RF signal down converts to BaseBand signal near 0 Hz directly. Let’s assume there are 2 tones , f1 is interference, f2 is signal, and their frequency are close, i.e. f1 = f2. If LNA IIP2 is not good enough, f1 and f2 will compose IMD2...

It is a common concern of technicians to adapt equipment manufactured on countries whose frequency of electric public mains differs from its local, so that a modification becomes necessary, but depending on the size of equipment, the cost of the transformer may be the largest when compared to...

Using the PIC32MX250F128B, I decided to make a simple audio player. I wanted to play back good quality audio from a large memory space - a microSD card. So, I made this WAV player that can play back 16-bit 44.1kHz WAV files with 12-bit stereo audio output. Of course that's not all it can play...

In Part I of this blog, we saw that we can construct two partially correlated signals, x1(t) and x2(t), as: \[ \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;\; \;\; \; x_1(t) = \sqrt{P_1}s_1(t) \\ \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;\; \;\; \; x_2(t) = \sqrt{P_2}ρ∗s1(t)+√(1−|ρ|2)s2(t)ρ∗s1(t)+(1−|ρ|2)s2(t) \] where P1 and...

I was recently asked how to estimate the frequency of a noisy sine wave over a short capture. In this context, 'short' means the total capture duration relative to the period of the sine wave. So we may have, at most, a few periods of the sine wave (or, at worst, less than one period). Here is...
Coding Spacing is commonly generally defined by the range between data transitions to prevent DC content of data. Bi-Phase which is self -clocking but reliable and used in early Telephony 1.544Mb/s repeaters then tri-level coding was used. Similar starts in ethernet coding were used. Magnetic...

Design site has error in the design calculations for RMS >Peak. In the end the RMS voltage of the transformer should only be slightly more than the LDO Vdc if the optimal parts are selected. Assuming you want 5V,1A regulated choose LDO regulator with minimum drop otherwise 2.5V typical may...

Gate Drivers
LSNI-BT02 The previous post discussed a simple transistor based inverting MOSFET driver ie. LSIN-BT01. It consisted of a Level-Shifter stage followed by a transistorized totem-pole output stage. This post discusses a NON-INVERTING version of the previous driver. For quick reference this...

Equipments such as Inverters and Rectifiers employ power modules as IGBTs, MOSFETs and TRIACs based on compact packages (modules). These components are mounted just above heat sink structure, and unlike PCB based packages, offer the possibility for assemble adopting an alternative approach...
