Mixed-signal printed circuit boards (PCBs) present unique challenges in high-performance applications, such as vibration analysis and other multi-channel data acquisition systems. Nonlinear ...

Unless you are a hermit or a Stylite, robust interaction with your neighbors is usually a good thing. Of course, this is not the case with broadcast transmitters, where living in isolation is usually ...

Let’s take an amplifier and feed it with two test signals of identical amplitude, but of two different frequencies which we will call “f1” and “f2”. Since the amplifier is non-ideal, there will be ...

Passive intermodulation (PIM) distortion arises when non‐linearities and imperfections within electrical connectors and transmission lines cause the intermodulation of signals, leading to spurious ...

Q: What is passive intermodulation (PIM)? A: PIM is the generation of interfering signals caused by nonlinearities in the mechanical components of a wireless system. Two signals mix together ...

ORLANDO, FL, JUNE 17, 2015 — Professional Wireless Systems (PWS), a Masque Sound Company and experts in supplying and supporting wireless systems for live and broadcast events, announces the release ...

Intermodulation distortion is one of the most interesting signal analyzer measurements. Often abbreviated IMD, it is an important metric of linearity for a wide range of RF and microwave components.

Two unique, real-world cases of interference in the FM band will be discussed by David Maxson, owner of Isotrope LLC, on the Tuesday afternoon of the upcoming Broadcast Engineering Conference at the ...

Distortion comes in two basic classes: Linear distortion, which is not an oxymoron; and nonlinear distortion, which includes all other distortions except noise. Noise is quite another matter and is ...
