When first learning about and building electronic circuits, the first things all of us come across are passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. These have easily-understandable ...

RF front ends are advancing through the integration of high-frequency passive networks with increasingly efficient active devices engineered for ultra-wide bandwidths and constrained power envelopes.

Engineers generally focus most attention on active components such as transistors, optoelectronic devices, ICs, and the like. In any design, however, the characteristics of passive devices ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...
