What is a Gunn Diode? How it Works?
Gunn diodes are semiconductor devices which are used to generate low-power microwave signals in a simple and low-cost manner. These have been in use for more than 60 years now. Gunn diodes can work with frequencies ranging from a few gigahertz to over 100 GHz. It was first discovered by J. B. Gunn of IBM […]
Basic Op Amp Circuits and Projects
In the following article I have explained op amp basic application circuits and projects, with equations, for solving their specific component values. Op-amps (operational amplifiers) are a specialized type of integrated circuit that include a directly-coupled, high-gain amplifier with an overall response characteristics adjusted by a feedback. The op-amp derives its name from the fact […]
