Ayrton shunt switching principle. The Ayrton shunt or universal shunt is a high-resistance shunt used in galvanometers to increase their range [1] without changing the damping. [2] The circuit is named after its inventor William E. Ayrton. [3] Multirange ammeters that use this technique are more accurate than those using a make-before-break ...
Ayrton shunt switching principle To make a multi-range ammeter, a selector switch can be used to connect one of a number of shunts across the meter. It must be a make-before-break switch to avoid damaging current surges through the meter movement when switching ranges.
Ayrton-Perry winding An Ayrton–Perry winding (named for William Edward Ayrton and John Perry ) is a type of bifilar winding pattern used in winding wire on forms to make RF resistors . Its advantage is that the resulting coil of wire has low values of parasitic inductance and parasitic capacitance . [ 1 ]
A capacitive fixed-fixed beam RF MEMS switch, as shown in Fig. 1(a), is in essence a micro-machined capacitor with a moving top electrode, which is the beam. It is generally connected in shunt with the transmission line and used in X- to W-band (77 GHz and 94 GHz) RF MEMS components. An ohmic cantilever RF MEMS switch, as shown in Fig. 1(b), is ...
In accelerator physics, shunt impedance is a measure of the strength with which an eigenmode of a resonant radio frequency structure (e.g., in a microwave cavity) interacts with charged particles on a given straight line, typically along the axis of rotational symmetry.
In the voltage regulation formula, V no load is the voltage measured at the receiving end terminals when the receiving end is an open circuit. The entire short line model is an open circuit in this condition, and no current flows in an open circuit, so I = 0 A and the voltage drop across the line given by Ohm’s law V line drop = IZ line is 0 V.
Magnetic field (green) induced by a current-carrying wire winding (red) in a magnetic circuit consisting of an iron core C forming a closed loop with two air gaps G in it. In an analogy to an electric circuit, the winding acts analogously to an electric battery, providing the magnetizing field , the core pieces act like wires, and the gaps G act like resistors.
The SI unit of absolute thermal resistance is kelvins per watt (K/W) or the equivalent degrees Celsius per watt (°C/W) – the two are the same since the intervals are equal: ΔT = 1 K = 1 °C. The thermal resistance of materials is of great interest to electronic engineers because most electrical components generate heat and need to be cooled.
