Depletion Type MOSFET - Construction, Operation and Characteristics: As we know already that when the gate is biased negative w.r.t. the source in an N-channel JFET, the depletion-region widths are…
Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) - Construction, Symbols and Operation: Depending upon the majority charge carriers, Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) have been classified into two types, namely (i) N-channel…
Thermal Resistance - Definition, Circuit Diagram and Equation: With power transistors, a designer often uses a heat sink to get a high power rating for the transistor. As already mentioned,…
Crystal Oscillators - Circuit, Working, Advantages and Disadvantages: In crystal oscillators, the usual electrical resonant circuit is replaced by a mechanically vibrating crystal. The crystal (usually quartz) has a high…
What is Oscillator? - Types of Oscillators: An oscillator is the basic element of all ac signal sources and generates sinusoidal signals of known frequency and amplitude. It is one…
Facsimile (FAX) Machine - Definition, Operation and Applications: In addition to the basic signals consisting of speech, music, or telegraph codes, a telecommunications system is often required to transmit signals…
Monochrome TV Transmitter - Block Diagram and its Workings: The term monochrome stands for black and white. Thus a monochrome TV system does not process variations of colour in a…
Basic Elements of Digital Communication System: Figure 23.3 shows the functional diagram and the basic elements of digital communication system. The source output may be either an analog signal like…
