MIM/MOM capacitor extraction boosts analog and RF designs
WEBApr 29, 2020 — MIM/MOM capacitors. Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) and metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitors are widely used in analog/RF designs because of their desirable characteristics: High-capacity density due to minimum width and spacing of metals. Good matching characteristics due to lateral coupling. Symmetric plate design.
The basics: What is EMC? - Electrical Engineering News and Products
WEBJan 12, 2022 — EMC stands for Electromagnetic compatibility, which means that a device is compatible with (i.e., no interference is caused by) its electromagnetic (EM) environment. It does not emit levels of EM energy that generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) in other devices in the vicinity. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is the interference ...
What is leakage current? - Electrical Engineering News and Products
WEBJul 24, 2017 — Leakage current can create a constant waste of energy, and in consumer end-user circles is called “vampire power” loss; the answer to which is to unplug chargers when not in use. Power loss is not the only problem that leakage current can create, however. Current can leak from one circuit to another if …
Basics of understanding signal jamming: What you need to know
WEBMar 6, 2019 — Many of the sophisticated advances in signal jamming arose from work with radar. So it is useful to start with a review of a few radar fundamentals. The idea of radar, of course, is that a target reflects some of the energy of a transmitted signal. The returned energy is received and processed to detect the target and extract its location and ...
