Answer A: Creating an "Insights" category
@Olin. I already read the help/papers doc you pointed out. And that's why I think a part of the papers are very far from the description there (except the "to educate" clause, at the most). As far as I understand, this category is intended to "presenting useful information to the world", be "m...

Answer A: How long does it take for energy to propagate in a circuit?
I add my answer here because I think the other answers are incorrect or irrelevant: namely, the answer of Andy is nice after he has redrawn the schematic and changed the problem, answering to another (actually more interesting) question. The answer of Olin seems to me a bit misleading: even if th...

Question Creating an "Insights" category
Looking at the "papers" category, I found that several papers do not fit the very purpose of this category (that's the reason I've not upvoted them). Nevertheless, they are relatively well written, well thought out, and probably interesting for new comers in electronics. I think for example most of...

Comment Post #285817 OK. Anyway, I think a small choke to ground is the normal way to handle these problems, as I wrote in my answer.

Answer A: How to protect RF switches from ESD?
Somewhat a pity to throw money for an expensive ultra-low capacitance TVS. You have not specified what is the frequency range of your antenna system, but since you say you have to protect it from human fingers, it is likely to be a small antenna in the gigahertz range. So, all what you need is...

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 @Olin. Your last interventions are not only extremely welcome for the atmosphere here, but seem in fact necessary to avoid the spoilage of this site by trolls or like (not related to Carloc).

Answer A: During a Li-ion cell charge or discharge at 1C rate, are the electrode interfaces at thermodynamic equilibrium?
Please, have a look at this thesis, from P. 12 to the end. The bottom line is that the Buttler-Volmer equation, which is in fact equation (13) derived in P. 12 to 16 (called by the author the electrochemical diffusion model), is said to be the most accurate battery model. So, it is certainly not ...

Comment Post #282265 @Carloc. >>once more just wanted to talk. On the contrary, I was hostile because you didn't come to talk, but only come to downvote this answer. That's your prerogative, but really, there are better ways to do it. I am also tired because there is a troll with several accounts in that site who ofte...

Comment Post #282265 @Carloc. So, you address the last part of my comment, but you consciously avoid to address the first part that proved there were no mistakes or mismatches in the question of the OP.

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...

Answer A: Unexpected phase shift in results
There is a mistake in the last line: $$\eqalign{V{C1}(t) &= V1(t) - RI{C1}(t) \cr &= \sin(t) - \dfrac{\sin(t) + \cos(t) - \mathrm{e}^{-t}}{2} \cr &= \dfrac{\sin(t) - \cos(t) + \mathrm{e}^{-t}}{2} \cr &= \dfrac{\cos(t-90^\circ) - [-\sin(t-90^\circ)] + \mathrm{e}^{-t}}{2}\cr &= \dfrac{\cos(t-90^\c...

Comment Post #282139 From this answer, I now better understand the question, and in particular that the OP has a micro-controller (or something like that) already available to do many operations. I will update remove some aspects in my answer in accordance.

Answer A: Contactor control - Higher voltage PWM
While your basic idea seems fine, I will not enter into this matter, especially after Olin has said he will. Instead, I will give some other ways to do that, that may be useful in other circumstances. First of all, there are also inductorless convertors, working with capacitors, that are much ...

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...
