What are the factors affecting signal to noise ratio?
If the SNR is too low, the signal cannot be distinguished from the noise. The signal must be boosted, or noise must somehow be removed.
What is the difference between silicon and germanium semiconductors?
integrated circuits and components made in GaAs are much faster than silicon because its low field electron mobility is larger than silicon. GaAs has ability to emit light used in leds,lasers and microwave emitter used in cellular phones
Where can one purchase Marshall mg100hdfx amplifiers?
One can purchase a Marshall Plexi amplifier on online shopping sites such as EBay, Musicians Friend, or ZZounds. If looking to purchase offline, one may wish to visit their local music store.
What is the importance of ammeter?
An ammeter measures current, an important variable in electronics.
How many machine cycles do one byte instructions have?
Depending on the particular microprocessor, a machine cycle is the fetch or store of one (typically, one byte) native word. In the 8085, this is a byte fetch or store, plus the overhead in decoding and processing the instruction. In this case, the first machine cycle is four clock cycles, or T states, and subsequent machine cycles are three clock cycles, although certain instruction sequences, such as DAD, require two extra clock cycles.
What are photovoltaic systems used for?
Photovoltaics means to generate electricity from sunlight. Tiny photovoltaic cells are used in devices such as calculators, to save battery power. Larger systems are used to provide electricity to devices or homes that are far from the interconnected electric network.
How do you represent a negative number in Binary Coded Decimal?
All I know is that when a number is negative, you convert the decimal into binary and if it is negative you put 1111 before the binary digits.
How can you build a model car to support a egg without breaking it?
Make the car out of a frame of popsicle sticks and the egg will not break.
What is a difference between motor and generator?
A generator uses the rotation of a coil of wire in a magnetic field to generate an electric current (also known as a dynamo), while a motor uses electricity flowing through a coil of wire placed at right angles to a magnetic field to produce rotation of the coil. Look up Fleming's left and right hand rules in a Physics textbook for further information.
Is discrete signal continuous?
To answer this properly more context is needed but frequency is in most contexts continuous.
What strenghthens a magentic field made by a current carrying wire?
Increasing the current along the wire.
What is the purpose of a coupling capacitor?
A coupling capacitor does the same work as its name suggests, that is coupling one stage of the electronic circuit with another. It does that without passing the DC bias voltages between stages so that these stages are not affected by each other.
To block or avoid the flow of D.C and to allow only A.C
How do you protect electronic devices from a EMP?
you cannot directally protect your device from an electro magnetic pulse however emps can only fire in a straight line so if you swerve your device away from the emp direct line of fire it will miss your device altogether =)
What is a sign of a short circuit?
A common sign of a short circuit is a blown fuse or a tripped breaker. Also visually seeing a burned wire and of course the smell of burned insulation all give an indication of a short circuit.
ICDP Stands For Iron Clad Double Pole. It is also known as Main Switch. It contain two fuse. One is for phase wire and another is for neutral wire.
What are the types of FET biasing circuit?
Various FET biasing circuits are as follows:
1. Fixed bias
2. Self bias
3. Potential divider bias
4. Current-Source bias
When there is a break on the circuit what is the reading?
The typical answer is current is zero when there is a break in the circuit. It depends on the complexity of the circuit, there may be other paths for the current to flow, such that if there is a break in one part of the circuit, the rest of the circuit still has current flow (but a different value than designed).
If you are reading voltage, and there is a break then that will change, also depending on the complexity. If it is a single loop, and you're reading voltage before the break, your voltmeter will read the same voltage as the voltage source, since there is no current flowing between any resistors between the meter and the source. If you're reading voltage after the break then the meter will read zero (0) volts.
What are the two main characteristics of a transistor?
- The ratio of the dc collector current (IC) to the dc base current (IB) is thedc beta (bDC).
- bDC is called the gainof a transistor:
bDC = IC/IB
- Typical values of bDC range from less than 20 to 200 or higher.
- bDC is usually designated as an equivalent hybrid (h)parameter:
hFE = bDC
- The ratio of the collector current (IC) to the dc emitter current (IE) is the dc alpha (aDC). This is a less-used parameter than beta.
aDC = IC/IE
- Typical values range from 0.95 to 0.99 or greater.
- aDC is always less than 1.
- This is because IC is always slightly less than IE by the amount of IB.
- From graph above we can see that there are 6 important parameters to be considered:
i) IB: dc base current.
ii) IE: dc emitter current.
iii) IC: dc collector current.
iv) VBE: dc voltage at base with respect to emitter.
v) VCB: dc voltage at collector with respect to base.
vi) VCE: dc voltage at collector with respect to emitter.
- VBB forward-biases the BE junction.
- VCC reverse-biases the BC junction.
- When the BE junction is forward biased, it is like a forward biased diode:
VBE ? 0.7 V
- But it can be as high as 0.9 V (and is dependent on current). We will use 0.7 V from now on.
- Emitter is at ground. Thus the voltage across RB is
VR(B) = VBB- VBE
- Also
VR(B) = IÂRRB
- Or:
IÂRRB = VBB- VBE
- Solving:
IB = (VBB- VBE)/RB
- Voltage at collector with respect to grounded emitter is:
VCE = VCC - VR(C)
- Since drop across RC is VR(C) = ICRC the voltage at the collector is also:
VCE = VCC - ICRC
- Where IC = bDCIB. Voltage across the reverse-biased collector-bias junction is
VCB = VCE - VBE
