Comment Post #277090 Sorry for answering you late: It has been a very long time I have not surfed on this site, as I was very disappointed by the ways of the mod as a mod. I have to correct my mistakes though. You are entirely right: I only thought about the problem as a current source problem, neglecting the obviou...

Comment Post #282151 You may be right. Probably a wrong choice of the example.

Comment Post #285817 Well, for me "100s of MHz" is already called "MHz range". The antenna I am dealing with in the thread are usually operated well in the GHz range. Also, pay attention that 1ns rise time gives something like 300-500MHz frequency content if I'm not wrong (use a convertor to obtain the precise value)...

Comment Post #285921 @Olin. After your action, who would want to leave any comment after downvoting? You create a Meta to make downvotes public, and at the same time act with an unmatched virulence against a person who has duly justified his downvote. You have used incorrectly the upvoting mechanism to fight my downvote,...

Comment Post #284955 yeah. In classical electromagnetism, the propagation of the energy of an EM wave is materialized by the so-called "Poynting vector" (@Engin.. you can google it for more information).

Comment Post #285928 I just would like to understand: >"wouldn't it be a better policy to award upvotes to people who point out errors. That would encourage folk to want to help people fix crappy answers without the discontent that downvotes bring." Do you really believe that codidact will code this feature and aban...

Comment Post #285861 @a concern citizen. No need, I think I have the artifact: the line in the experiment has obviously a non negligible inductance. So, when the switch closes, the inductance of the line creates a relatively slow linearly increasing current, which can induce, indeed, a plateau by capacitive coupling in t...

Comment Post #285921 Hello Elliot. There is an important discussion in Meta about making downvotes public. Since you are here, I'm taking the unusual step of letting you know that. Of course, if you participate to the debate, feel free to downvote my opinion and express a different opinion.

Comment Post #285861 @a concerned citizen. Thanks for the feedback, really interesting again. I suspect your alleged SUSTAINED plateau is an artifact of the experiment. Of course, everything is continuous in classical physics, but the meaning of what I said is that there should be a small peak, then the current should de...

Comment Post #285928 I should also add that your vision is perhaps good, but utopic. Trolls, children, vexed persons etc. exist and use to destroy sites if no counter measures are taken.

Comment Post #285928 I agree with you in principle Andy, and that's why I have make very few downvotes up to now. Nevertheless there are persons that won't do anything after the comments of some other they dislike or so. When you face those persons, there is no time to waste, and a fortiori whenever you know those pers...

Comment Post #285921 Of course, since they already know this matter. My comment has to be understood as "if they were not already knowing this subject". Anyway, that's not the point. The question is of elementary level, and as such, should be answered in a more detailed way. My opinion is that most newcomers in electron...

Comment Post #285921 I downvoted this answer because the first half "One reason" -- "3.3V logic level" is hardly understandable for reasonably competent engineers, and certainly sibylline for most students of the level of this question. This answer may be updated by adding schematics or clearer explanations, in which cas...

Comment Post #285737 In place of asking Lundin if he downvoted you and complaining in your answer, why did you not come to participate to the debate about downvotes in Meta? after all, you are the trigger of this thread. Where are you when your are needed?

Comment Post #285913 To make downvotes open will not create such discussions: the mods need only to step in when the discussion become ridiculous and to close it. On the other hand, openness of the critic will highly improve the quality of the content. Also, mods should remove downvotes ridiculously justified, otherwis...

Comment Post #285907 Completely wrong, I have personally been the target of the troll (I think there is only one currently). Of course, you can discuss 100 years if this is a troll or a regular voter, but the fact is that no one could explain reasonably some downvotes I got.

Comment Post #285861 I liked the part at 17:30, where he explains how the capacitive coupling between the wires produces current. Interesting. Did you mean this video contradict something in my answer? I don't see, on the contrary.

Comment Post #285871 So, the restricted number of papers is what is preventing you to agree with me, not the idea itself. While your argument makes sense, I think it's not the better choice. Nothing should prevent a good organization of this site, even though we have relatively few material. In contrast to "Photogra...

Comment Post #285864 @Olin. No, the bullet list are not only the examples. The two first bullets are from the "definition" section. I've listed all what I saw there, just including the examples as they are supposed to provide a more concrete view. If there is such thing a "broader" definition, it is probably more an info...

Comment Post #285858 Hello Monica. Your suggestion is interesting, and I have personally no objection to call this category resources in place of insights (I should even add that I like this suggestion). This would indeed allow even broader articles to be added. Anyway, I think that's only a cosmetic detail, not the main...

Comment Post #285858 I think your suggestion is of the same order as that of Monica in the previous thread: to change the name of the current category, in order to lower and extend the expectations (actually Monica suggested to change the name of the new proposed category). As I wrote in the answer to Olin, the level of ...

Comment Post #285721 Hello Lundin. I think it would help if you can specify what is the general configuration of your system. Is your antenna connected by a coax to a microstrip circuit including, e.g. the pi filter and C3, which is itself connected to an RF switch via some coax? something else? I'm also surprised that y...

Comment Post #285737 These downvotes from trolls are a real pain in this site. Disgusting. I also agree with transparency regarding them, but even so, it would suffice to disable the downvoting for persons whose score is less than 100 to block most of the imposters. I don't understand why this simple measure has still n...

Comment Post #282265 @carloc. The OP had clearly indicated from the beginning that R1 = 1 Ohm (see the schematic, and that's also clear from the second equality at the beginning of the question). Similarly, the OP had clearly indicated that the frequency is 1 Hz (schematic again). Even without the schematic, this normali...

Comment Post #281971 Spectrum analyser + tracking generator sounds more complicated than a (vector) network analyser, which is especially designed for this task (and other). Note that there are now cheap so called "nano-vna" on the market that give decent results for antennas up to 1GHz.

Comment Post #282127 I'm not sure I understand why you are trying to do. Is the problem the following? : the contactor needs 12 V, 1.5A to switch, but after it has switched, it needs much less current because of hysteresis. So you are trying to design a power saving circuit, using the coil of the contactor as part of a 5...

Comment Post #281549 @Olin. Fig 32 ("basic connections suitable for many applications") and fig. 35 for example indicate to leave pin 3 and 5 not connected. It is evident that if I don't show a pin in a schematic, that means it is not connected, as is common in electronics. In a QA site, the criterion for "wasting your ...
