Greg Daugherty has worked 25+ years as an editor and writer for major publications and websites. He is also the author of two books. Katie Miller is a consumer financial services expert. She worked ...

Impedance (Z) is a measure of the opposition a circuit offers to the flow of alternating current (AC). It is a complex value composed of resistance (R), capacitance (C), and inductance (L) and is ...

Abstract: A novel method for designing a quasi-conformal antenna with wideband and wide-angle low-scattering properties based on unit equivalent reactance regulation (UERR) and arrangement ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

Even when they were brand new, capacitive touch buttons on the steering wheel didn't seem like the greatest idea, but Volkswagen soldiered on, and now it's getting sued over them. A new class action ...

The Volkswagen ID.4, as well as other ID models, come with capacitive buttons on the steering wheel. While they look good, they increase the risk of accidental touches. One ID.4 owner got fed up with ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

TMR and hall-effect sticks are proven excellent, but capacitive claims to be better. Can the Huben2 prove itself, or is there more to the story that needs investigating? Read on to find out. In 2024, ...

While capacitance is the primary characteristic of capacitors, the concept of “capacitor resistance” is essential for understanding their real-world performance. Capacitors are fundamental components ...

Capacitive touch buttons are a great way to turn just about any (non-conductive) surface into a button, but people generally dislike the lack of tactile feedback. [KontinuumLab] apparently agreed and ...

All engineers know resistance is usually bad news. It generates heat. It reduces efficiency. It wears out components and cuts operational lifetimes. However, resistance is not the only kind of ...
