Q&A Why are antenna PCB traces square instead of rounded?

Corners and chambers that are a small fraction of a wavelength are not significant in the <4Ghz band. More significant is the tolerance and loss tangent on the substrate. They would hardly be m...

Q&A Re model of transistor is the same in 2 different configuration

I never would recommend to use the "re model" for a BJT. The reason is as follows: The BJT is a voltage-controlled device (Ic is controlled by Vbe and the base current is an unwanted by-product...

Q&A Effect of adding stages to a filter

There are a number of misconceptions here. bode plot db/Hz First, it's "dB", not "db". Second that's not a Bode plot. Those are dB/Log(Hz). In other words, a certain frequency ratio results in...

Q&A How to design a low-pass filter when certain conditions must be met

Your requirements are odd. Can you specify what purpose that filter is for? I'm saying this because, for a -0.1 dB/Hz, a filter will have a continuously increasing attenuation slope. Think of it li...

Q&A Calculate values of externally excited DC generator/motor

Your generator constant is 2 V per Webber-Hz, or 2 V/(Wb Hz) = 2 (V s)/Wb. You somehow got a value of 5. The rest of your calculations are probably off due to that. Added I didn't have much tim...
