    Positive and negative reactance in dipole antenna

    reactance -,+ Thanks for pointing this out. Negative reactance means capacitive of course.

    Positive and negative reactance in dipole antenna

    reactance -,+ Despite the resistive match between antenna and transmitter/receiver a reactive match is also required (with opposite sign). Non-zero reactance increases SWR of the antenna. Positive value of reactance means that antenna is too long (electrically, it's a simplification, but rather...

    Help me with making a 14 Mhz oscillator that outputs more than 500 Watt

    High Power .......?? Try a MOSFET-based design, such as this: https://www.microsemi.com/micnotes/APT9903.pdf It's for different frequency, but the whole idea behind stays the same. Of course, an amplifier should be driven by oscillator. It is, however, possible to design an oscillator with 500W...

    How to write a program to define a gamepad and use it?

    Computer Steering Wheel The protocol is either USB HID class, or none at all. In the former case You will have to implement an USB protocol device. http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_Human_Interface_Device_class This could be done even without a specialized...

    How they made 400 Vdc shift ?? !!

    All oscilloscopes i've seen had a AC/DC switch. In AC position it introduces a series capacitor in signal path, which decouples DC component. That makes AC signal + DC bias measurements quite easy. It's a bit (or sometimes "a lot") harder to remove high voltage AC component, or to measure DC...

    A/D bit rate,max IF sampling and Nyquist criteria question

    nyquist criteria It is not necessary to limit band width of a signal which is being sampled. Not doing so will result in a so called sampling mixer. Baisicly, You will sample aliases. E.g. consider an input signal having a carrier of 10.7MHz. Sampling such a signal with ADC clocked at 10MHz...

    How to solve this IE problem?

    Change the browser to a better one, like Firefox, or Opera... I had the same problem long time ago with IE, it didn't display any polish diacritics, or sometimes display some of them, and even somtimes worked well. It was impossible to solve this problem neither by reinstalling IE, nor by...

    AC Voltage regulator/Stabilizer

    Most (if not all) modern household equipement works fine with very wide supply voltage range. The only one of which I can think is a light bulb which will flicker. Other devices that dislike fluctuating voltage are vacuum tube radios/amplifier/whatever. So I would ask, why You need such a...

    Can we have current without voltage?

    current Current flow is not a result of potential difference. Potential difference (or voltage drop) is a result of current flow. To make a potential difference first of all there's need to be current flow from one point to another, which will move some charged particles (ions, electrons, or...

    How to adjust MP3 music file volume level?

    MP3 volume level There's a better way than normalizing audio samples so that peak sample value is 100%. It's called Replay Gain (ask google for details). It scans a song and then stores a tag in file with information about track's "loudness". It's different from usual normalization, cause it...

    techniques to convert floating point to fixxedpoint

    It depends whether You can or cannot use floating point operations. If You can do that, simply multiply the floating point value by 2^(number_of_fractional_bits) and convert the result to integer. In C there's a libm function ldexp() as far as I remember, which provides fast multiplication of...

    Help me to understand this URL format please

    Those files are served by a PHP script, which checks whether You have clicked the link from the web site, or not. It's a protection from hot-linking the files to another web site. The mechanism probably uses a HTTP header 'Referer' field, which includes the address of the site on which that link...

    Image processing: camera focusing algorithm

    The simplest thing You can do is to filter the image with high-pass filter (two dimmensional convolution). Then You manipulate the camera lens until You get maximal amplitude of signal (calculated for example as RMS value). This approach applies only in a situation when You are able to take...
