Current Source Inverter Control of Induction Motor: A thyristor Current Source Inverter Control of Induction Motor (CSI) is shown in Fig. 6.45. Diodes D1-D6 and capacitors C1-C6 provide commutation of thyristors…
Fiber Optic Components and Systems: The Fiber Optic Components and Systems can be divided into subgroups, the source, the link, and the detectors. We will now explore the makeup and…
Microwave Link in Electronic Communication: A Microwave Link in Electronic Communication performs the same functions as a copper or optic fiber cable, but in a different manner, by using point-to-point…
Types of Optoelectronic Devices: Although light-emitting diodes and photodiodes are not quantum-mechanical devices in the Types of Optoelectronic Devices, they are semiconductor devices closely associated with lasers. It is most…
Gunn Effect: In 1963, Gunn discovered the transferred electron effect which now bears his name. This Gunn Effect is instrumental in the generation of microwave oscillations in bulk semiconductor materials.…
Negative Resistance Amplifier: The classical application of the tunnel diode was in microwave oscillators, especially after it was realized that the secret of stable oscillations lay in loosely coupling the…
Frequency Multiplier Circuit: A typical Frequency Multiplier Circuit chain is shown in Figure 12-11, The first stage is a transistor crystal oscillator, operating in the VHF region, and this is…
Microwave Transistors: Silicon bipolar transistors were first on the microwave scene, followed by GaAs field-effect transistors. Indeed, FETs now have noticeably lower noise figures, and in the C band and…
