Bridging AE Techron Switch-Mode Amplifiers: Benefits and Drawbacks
Bridging, or bridge-tied load (BTL) operation, is a common technique in amplifier applications where two amplifier channels are configured to drive a single load differentially. This approach is often used to maximize output voltage and power delivery, especially in...EMC Testing to DO-160: Practical Insights for Sections 16, 18, and 19
When it comes to aerospace EMC testing, few topics challenge engineers more than the power input and signal coupling tests outlined in RTCA DO-160. In a recent webinar, Patrick Andre, an EMC expert consultant and member of the RTCA SC-135 committee, shared deep...
Understanding Real vs Apparent Power in High-Power Test Systems
In high-power electrical test environments, understanding the differences between real power and apparent power is critical for system design and equipment selection. This distinction becomes especially important when choosing the right power amplifier for your...
