What are harmonics in RF systems? A given signal’s second harmonic is approximately twice the given signal’s fundamental frequency. Ideally, amplifiers are expected to have zero non-linearities in the ...

There are several ways to evaluate the bandwidth of a signal in the time domain and frequency domain. Previously we looked at the classic relationship of rise time (t r) and bandwidth (f 3db) [Ref 1], ...

The power quality of electrical distribution systems has a drastic effect on power regulation and consumption. Power quality includes all aspects of events in the power system that deviate from normal ...

Using sophisticated power electronics and communications systems to improve power system efficiency, flexibility and reliability is increasing interharmonic distortion and putting new equipment ...

The power quality industry has developed certain index values that help us assess the quality of service as it relates to distortion caused by the presence of harmonics. These values, or harmonic ...

At first glance, tuning a musical instrument seems a straightforward task. However, any professional tuner will tell you that the reality is rather different. Pluck a string and the sound it produces ...

Chestnut Ridge, NY. Teledyne LeCroy has introduced a new harmonics calculation option for the MDA800 motor drive analyzer series. This optional software package enhances the standard capabilities of ...
