Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...

The electron transport properties of graphene devices are critical to many applications, but our understanding of these properties is still incomplete, in spite of rapid advances in recent years. One ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

Most simple circuits you'll find for measuring reactive components cover only a limited range of component values. Here's a circuit built from a handful of inexpensive parts that will let you measure ...

An optimal way to determine an op amp's input capacitance. Steps involved in making the input-capacitance measurement. 1. With a series resistor at the op-amp input, the input capacitance of the op ...

This paper defines a method to measure the chip die pad capacitance using time delay reflectometry (TDR). This method is useful for measuring the low-value capacitance that is present at the end of a ...
