  2. Electrical impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance

    In electrical engineering, impedance is the opposition to alternating current presented by the combined effect of resistance and reactance in a circuit. [1]Quantitatively, the impedance of a two-terminal circuit element is the ratio of the complex representation of the sinusoidal voltage between its terminals, to the complex representation of the current flowing through it. [2]

  3. Characteristic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_impedance

    The input impedance of an infinite line is equal to the characteristic impedance since the transmitted wave is never reflected back from the end. Equivalently: The characteristic impedance of a line is that impedance which, when terminating an arbitrary length of line at its output, produces an input impedance of equal value. This is so because ...

  4. Output impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_impedance

    In electrical engineering, the output impedance of an electrical network is the measure of the opposition to current flow , both static and dynamic , into the load network being connected that is internal to the electrical source. The output impedance is a measure of the source's propensity to drop in voltage when the load draws current, the ...

  5. Impedance matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching

    Source and load impedance circuit. In electrical engineering, impedance matching is the practice of designing or adjusting the input impedance or output impedance of an electrical device for a desired value. Often, the desired value is selected to maximize power transfer or minimize signal reflection.

  6. Impedance parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_parameters

    Impedance parameters or Z-parameters (the elements of an impedance matrix or Z-matrix) are properties used in electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and communication systems engineering to describe the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks.

  7. Input impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_impedance

    In electrical engineering, the input impedance of an electrical network is the measure of the opposition to current (), both static and dynamic (), into a load network or circuit that is external to the electrical source network.

  8. High impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_impedance

    In analog circuits a high impedance node is one that does not have any low impedance paths to any other nodes in the frequency range being considered.Since the terms low and high depend on context to some extent, it is possible in principle for some high impedance nodes to be described as low impedance in one context, and high impedance in another; so the node (perhaps a signal source or ...

  9. Nominal impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_impedance

    This nominal impedance of filters will generally be the same as the nominal impedance of the circuit or cable that the filter is working into. [ 5 ] While 600 Ω is an almost universal standard in telephony for local presentation at customer's premises from the exchange, for long distance transmission on trunk lines between exchanges, other ...
