In high-end audio equipment, careful selection of resistors is one of the best ways to avoid or minimize noise and distortion in the signal path. This paper describes the noise generation in resistors ...

If you know or can estimate a low-noise amplifier’s gain or noise bandwidth, you can measure the other spec using only a handful of resistors and an ac voltmeter (Reference 1). The method in this ...

Since the earliest demonstration of chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) and optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA), femtosecond lasers have been able to deliver ultrahigh peak powers up ...

Follow these seven steps to successfully select a photodiode sensor and design an analog front end for a range of applications such as optical communications and light-based measurements. The energy ...
