As part of a power electronics design project involving a 3.6-V dc-dc converter, it became necessary to test and accurately characterize the planar transformer shown in Fig. 1. Transformer operating ...

While it might seem counterintuitive on the surface, there are a number of cases where dumping a large amount of energy into a resistor simply to turn it into heat is necessary to the operation of a ...

Figured this was the best place to put it.<BR><BR>I'm making 50 ohm RF dummy load with resistors. So I'm using 0.5W metal film resistors in parallel, a fair few of them.<BR><BR>I have 49.9 ohms ...

I sold low-power FM transmitters in a former job, and one of the things I learned is that most customers lacked a suitable dummy load for testing. In new LPFM or translator applications, you can save ...
