Pulse Time Modulation | PWM, PPM, PFM

In this article, we will learn about Pulse Time Modulation. In the previous article, we had learned about pulse amplitude modulation. In Pulse Time Modulation, the timing characteristics such as width, position, and frequency are varied with the amplitude of the input signal. So, Pulse Time Modulation are of three types i.e. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Pulse Position … Read more

Kirchhoff Current Law and Kirchhoff Voltage Law

There are some simple relations between currents and voltages of different branches of an electrical circuit. These relations are determined by some elementary laws that are known as Kirchhoff laws or more exactly Kirchhoff Current and Voltage laws. These laws are first derived by Gustave Robert Kirchhoff and therefore these laws are also called as Kirchhoff … Read more

Frequency Division Multiplexing | Advantages & Applications

In the previous article, we have learned about Time division multiplexing. In this article, we will learn about multiplexing of data based on frequency division i.e. Frequency Division Multiplexing. The frequency division multiplexing (FDM) is based on sharing the available bandwidth of a communication channel among the signals to be transmitted. Let us understand with the help … Read more

Time Division Multiplexing | Types & Advantages

In order to transmit a large number of signals from one location to other, multiplexing is used. Communication channels are costly so it is not economical to use separate channel per signal. Signals can be transmitted over a single communication channel by either dividing the time slots between various signals and transmitting it in turns … Read more

Instrumentation Amplifier – Advantages & Applications

An Instrumentation amplifier is a kind of differential amplifier with additional input buffer stages. The addition of input buffer stages makes it easy to match (impedance matching) the amplifier with the preceding stage. In other words, we can say that the differential op-amp circuit providing high input impedances with ease of gain adjustment through the variation … Read more

Types of Radiation | Properties

Radioactive materials are used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity. These radioactive materials emit nuclear radiation. The radiation consists of alpha, beta, gamma and neutrons particles. These particles that detected by an instrument called radiation detector such as Geiger Muller counter, Ionization chamber, Scintillation counter, etc. Types of Radiation 1. Alpha Particles It is … Read more

Scintillation Counters | Working & Advantages

A scintillation counter is an instrument for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation similar to Geiger Muller counter and ionization chamber. It uses excitation effect of incident radiation on a scintillator material and detecting the resultant light pulses. Scintillation crystals are those which produce a brief flash of light each time they are struck by an … Read more
