Delay lines are used in applications that require a signal delay of a few nanoseconds (ns) or where incremental timing corrections are needed for the system to work properly. This article discusses ...

Waves in water are transverse. This means that the vibrations causing the waves are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. As this little boat demonstrates, you can see that the waves are ...

This rule of thumb enables us to estimate the highest frequency to worry about for a data signal. Spoiler summary: At the Tx, it is 2.5× the bitrate. At the Rx, in a lossy channel, it is the Nyquist: ...
