A detailed analysis of the total harmonic distortion for a nonisolated boost topology with average current-mode control using the UC1854A and the UCC3817. IAC = Current reference. Ideally, IAC is a ...

A critical measure for all audio components is distortion, typically specified as total harmonic distortion (THD) or total harmonic distortion + noise (THD+N). THD is defined as: ... THD+N is the rms ...

The author is technical publications manager and a senior technical writer at Audio Precision in Beaverton, Ore. When reduced to its basics, the process of audio test and measurement is concerned with ...

Tektronix must have been quite a place to work back in the 1980s. The company offered a bewildering selection of test equipment, and while the digital age was creeping in, much of their gear was still ...

The project was built and designed to measure the quality of AC voltage using a harmonic distortion meter based on PIC18F2550. The project was built and designed to measure the quality of AC voltage ...

With the rising demand of non-linear type equipment and loads, mitigation of harmonics becomes increasingly important. If a harmonics study or testing indicates excessive harmonic levels or a ...

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 ...

A data acquisition system (DAS) is the standard measurement and analysis instrument for industrial, medical, and telecom applications including medical imaging, audio and vibration analysis, and ...

We all know what distortion sounds like. We’ve heard it in heavy metal tunes, cheap iPod docks and the crummy speakers at Taco Bell drive-thrus. And we’ve all read distortion specs on things like ...
