Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

Modern high-frequency amplifiers are a cranky group that lose performance when driving capacitive and reactive loads. Fortunately, you can use some simple tricks to pacify poorly loaded amplifiers.

Despite all of the attention devoted to low voltage, low operating, and quiescent currents, and low power in general, the reality is that many applications require more power during real “work” as ...
