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 ...

The DB4370-DPM series of transmit combiners for the 217- to 221-MHz range uses high Q tuned cavities to greatly reduce intermodulation (IM) interference in radio installations. With the increasingly ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
