Total number of published terms in the current category: 15; Total number of terms on the current page: 7.

asymmetrical voltage

asymmetrical voltage

Asymmetrical voltage is the RF nuisance voltage that appears between the electrical midpoint of two power terminals and ground. Sometimes referred to as common mode voltage, if Va is used to represent the voltage vector between one of the power terminals and ground, and Vb is used to represent the voltage between the other power terminal and ground...

symmetrical voltage

symmetrical voltage

In two-wire circuits (e.g., single-phase power supplies), a symmetrical voltage is the RFI voltage that appears between the two wires. It is sometimes referred to as the differential mode voltage. If Va is used to denote the voltage vector between one of the power terminals and ground, and Vb denotes the voltage between the other power terminal and...

What is a current probe

What is a current probe

What is a current probe? A current probe shall have a specified transfer impedance over a specified frequency range, i.e., when measured according to a specified procedure, the RF voltage induced in the probe and the known RF current on a single wire passing through the probe have a specified...
