Impedances in a sentence

A circuit calculation, such as finding the total impedance of two impedances in parallel, may require conversion between forms several times during the calculation.

Adding shunt elements effectively reduces the source and load impedances, reducing the impedance ratio and increasing the off-state attenuation.

Analysis may be simplified by assuming that magnetizing branch impedance is relatively high and relocating the branch to the left of the primary impedances.

A radio frequency (RF) amplifier design typically optimizes impedances for power transfer, while audio and instrumentation amplifier designs normally optimize input and output impedance for least loading and highest signal integrity.

Deriving the device-specific impedances What follows below is a derivation of impedance for each of the three basic circuit elements: the resistor, the capacitor, and the inductor.

For example, an audio amplifier with a gain given as 20 dB will have a voltage gain of ten (but a power gain of 100 would only occur in the event the input and output impedances were identical).

However, all impedances of the equivalent circuit shown are by definition linear and such non-linearity effects are not typically reflected in transformer equivalent circuits.

In connecting a waveguide to an antenna a complete transmission is usually required, so their impedances are matched.

In practice the ideal impedances are not possible to achieve.

In such as case, the transmission at the maximum frequency(s) transfers the maximal possible energy to the output load, as determined by the physics of the source and load impedances.

Lower sensitivity meter movements are acceptable for testing in circuits where source impedances are low compared to the meter impedance, for example, power circuits; these meters are more rugged mechanically.

Series combination For components connected in series, the current through each circuit element is the same; the total impedance is the sum of the component impedances.

Speaking of noise temperature therefore offers a fair comparison between components having different impedances rather than specifying the noise voltage and qualifying that number by mentioning the component's resistance.

The effective length of the tube is fixed since the radiation impedances at each end are fixed.

They may implement a shunt across the transmitter circuit and induction coil to maximize the pulsing signal of the dial by eliminating all internal impedances of the telephone set.

This introduces error but allows combination of primary and referred secondary resistances and reactances by simple summation as two series impedances.

Transmission line impedances also make it necessary to provide reactive power to maintain voltage levels necessary for active power to flow through.

When large resistors or sources with high output impedances are used in the circuit, these small currents can produce large unmodeled voltage drops.

Where it is needed to add or subtract impedances, the cartesian form is more convenient; but when quantities are multiplied or divided, the calculation becomes simpler if the polar form is used.

With metamaterials, we can also obtain total refraction phenomena when the wave impedances of the two media are matched.
