voltage-source equivalent circuit
31Hydraulic analogy — The electronic–hydraulic analogy (derisively referred to as the drain pipe theory by Oliver Heaviside) is the most widely used analogy for electron fluid in a metal conductor. Since electric current is invisible and the processes at play in… …
32Multimeter — A digital multimeter A multimeter or a multitester, also known as a VOM (Volt Ohm meter), is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. A typical multimeter may include features such as the ability …
33Transmission line — This article is about the radio frequency transmission line. For the power transmission line, see electric power transmission. In communications and electronic engineering, a transmission line is a specialized cable designed to carry alternating… …
34Common base — Figure 1: Basic NPN common base circuit (neglecting biasing details). In electronics, a common base (also known as grounded base) amplifier is one of three basic single stage bipolar junction transistor (BJT) amplifier topologies, typically used… …
35Johnson–Nyquist noise — (thermal noise, Johnson noise, or Nyquist noise) is the electronic noise generated by the thermal agitation of the charge carriers (usually the electrons) inside an electrical conductor at equilibrium, which happens regardless of any applied… …
36Valve RF amplifier — A valve RF amplifier (UK and Aus.) or tube amplifier (U.S.), is a device for electrically amplifying the power of an electrical , typically (but not exclusively) radio frequency signals.Low to medium power valve amplifiers for frequencies below… …
37Clamper (electronics) — Not to be confused with voltage clamp. Positive unbiased voltage clamping shifts the amplitude of the input waveform so that all parts of it are greater than 0 V A clamper is an electronic circuit that prevents a signal from exceeding a… …
38Metamaterial antenna — This Z antenna tested at the National Institute of Standards and Technology is smaller than a standard antenna with comparable properties. Its high efficiency is derived from the Z element inside the square that acts as a metamaterial, greatly… …
39Transformer — This article is about the electrical device. For the toy line franchise, see Transformers. For other uses, see Transformer (disambiguation). Pole mounted distribution transformer with center tapped secondary winding. This type of transformer is… …
40Electrical element — Electrical elements are conceptual abstractions representing idealized electrical components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, used in the analysis of electrical networks. Any electrical network can be analysed as multiple,… …
