  2. Bus duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_duct

    Feeder busway is used to interconnect equipment, such as between a transformer and a switchgear line up. A variant type is a low-impedance busway, which is designed to have lower voltage drop by virtue of close spacing of bus bars, which reduces inductive reactance. A trolley busway provides power to equipment that must be frequently moved.

  3. Signal-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio

    where is the signal mean or expected value and is the standard deviation of the noise, or an estimate thereof. [ note 2 ] Notice that such an alternative definition is only useful for variables that are always non-negative (such as photon counts and luminance ), and it is only an approximation since E ⁡ [ X 2 ] = σ 2 + μ 2 {\displaystyle ...

  4. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    Using the Smith chart, the normalised impedance may be obtained with appreciable accuracy by plotting the point representing the reflection coefficient treating the Smith chart as a polar diagram and then reading its value directly using the characteristic Smith chart scaling. This technique is a graphical alternative to substituting the values ...

  5. Stub (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stub_(electronics)

    Stubs can match a load impedance to the transmission line characteristic impedance. The stub is positioned a distance from the load. This distance is chosen so that at that point, the resistive part of the load impedance is made equal to the resistive part of the characteristic impedance by impedance transformer action of the length of the main ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Output impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_impedance

    The actual output impedance for most devices is not the same as the rated output impedance. A power amplifier may have a rated impedance of 8 ohms, but the actual output impedance will vary depending on circuit conditions. The rated output impedance is the impedance into which the amplifier can deliver its maximum amount of power without failing.

  8. Microelectrode array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microelectrode_array

    Neurons and muscle cells create ion currents through their membranes when excited, causing a change in voltage between the inside and the outside of the cell. When recording, the electrodes on an MEA transduce the change in voltage from the environment carried by ions into currents carried by electrons (electronic currents).

  9. 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 ...
