(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) AC parameters which describe the amplifier's performance over frequency can appear very ...

It is not too often that a tool fails me. Most of the time I have made some mistake, so when a Bode Plot failed to predict an unstable system, I came down with a bad case of myopia. I spent so much ...

A frequency response analyzer (‘FRA’) is often used to measure gain and phase plots of control loops (Bode plots), filter responses and general frequency domain transfer functions. The FRA generally ...
