Making an oscilloscope is relatively easy, while making a very fast oscilloscope is hard. There’s a trick that converts a mundane instrument into a very fast one, it’s been around since the 1950s, and ...

The ubiquitous diode—though you likely have a good understanding of this device, this primer of sorts acts as a quick-read guide, highlighting many of the essentials you need to know. The diode is a ...

Making an oscilloscope is relatively easy, while making a very fast oscilloscope is hard. There’s a trick that converts a mundane instrument into a very fast one, it’s been around since the 1950s, and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a pedagogical method for teaching diode's characteristic curve in laboratory using an oscilloscope without current probe. The results obtained by the instrument are ...

When checking and verifying capacitors, inductors, diodes, bipolar transistors, and cables, the gamut of test methods can range from those used to confirm a defective component to identifying the ...

Abstract: The step recovery diode has been discussed in several papers. Recently, diodes have become availble with attractive combinations of short transition time, long lifetime, low series ...
