Transistor–transistor logic. Transistor–transistor logic ( TTL) is a logic family built from bipolar junction transistors. Its name signifies that transistors perform both the logic function (the first "transistor") and the amplifying function (the second "transistor"), as opposed to earlier resistor–transistor logic (RTL) and diode ...
edit. In electrical engineering and electronics, a network is a collection of interconnected components. Network analysis is the process of finding the voltages across, and the currents through, all network components. There are many techniques for calculating these values; however, for the most part, the techniques assume linear components.
Fig. 1 shows the common-base Colpitts circuit. The inductor L and the series combination of C 1 and C 2 form the resonant tank circuit, which determines the frequency of the oscillator. The voltage across C 2 is applied to the base-emitter junction of the transistor, as feedback to create oscillations. Fig. 2 shows the common-collector version.
In the field of electronics, a technique where part of the output of a system is used at startup can be described as bootstrapping. A bootstrap circuit is one where part of the output of an amplifier stage is applied to the input, so as to alter the input impedance of the amplifier. When applied deliberately, the intention is usually to ...
The flat bottom surfaces of the anvil and post embedded inside the epoxy act as anchors, to prevent the conductors from being forcefully pulled out via mechanical strain or vibration. A light-emitting diode ( LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron ...
For field-effect transistors, the corresponding configurations are common source, common gate, and common drain; for vacuum tubes, common cathode, common grid, and common plate. The common emitter (or common source, common cathode, etc.) is most often configured to provide amplification of a voltage applied between base and emitter, and the ...
Common base. In electronics, a common-base (also known as grounded-base) amplifier is one of three basic single-stage bipolar junction transistor (BJT) amplifier topologies, typically used as a current buffer or voltage amplifier . In this circuit the emitter terminal of the transistor serves as the input, the collector as the output, and the ...
Dipole antenna used by the radar altimeter in an airplane. Animated diagram of a half-wave dipole antenna receiving a radio wave. The antenna consists of two metal rods connected to a receiver R. The electric field ( E, green arrows) of the incoming wave pushes the electrons in the rods back and forth, charging the ends alternately positive ...
