Coaxial Cable – Mathematics Primer for Vector Fields

Dr. Patronis will be writing a series of articles on the properties of coaxial cable. This primer lays some mathematical ground work for the motivated learner. This should be a part of every engineers technical library.

Gauss's Law and the Electrostatic Field

The third installment of a series of articles dealing with the properties of coaxial cables.

The Properties of Coaxial Cable – Part 1 The Magnetic Field

Once the reader has considered "The Field," they are ready to reconsider how wires really work. Dr. Patronis presents the subject in Part One of a short series on electricity and magnetism.

Reality Check! Are like make / model loudspeakers consistent?

How consistent are production loudspeakers? Measured data is used to compare the responses of 12 units of the same make/model.

Integration Convergence and the Future of the World

Much confusion surrounds the use of these two terms. The 2006 Convergence Summit sorts things out.

Lessons from the RF Analyzer

The proper instrument can allow the unseen to become observable. Dale uses his HP RF analyzer to demonstrate some wireless mic issues that audio people must deal with everyday.

Impulse vs. Sine Sweep Response

What's the best way to get room data? Some advocate impulsing the room with balloons or starter's pistols. Others prefer using swept sine waves. Don sheds some light on this old argument with some reminders about each method's susceptibility to amplitude non-linearities.

The Electrostatic Field and Electrostatic Potential Relationship

This is the fourth of a series of articles describing the properties of coaxial cable.

The Conduit Transformer

This paper intends to show how a simple error in power wiring geometry inside the conduit can create a transformer which induces voltage on the ground wire. This can ruin an otherwise well designed technical power and ground system.

Your First Measurement Rig…

Many first-time buyers of measurement systems are confused by the multitude of choices in the marketplace. This article will help you sort through the offerings and spend your money wisely.
