Dielectrics are one of the three main categories of electrical materials, the other two being conductors and semiconductors. Common dielectrics used in electronic systems are ceramics, glasses, gemstones, and polymers. Dielectrics, or insulators, are described as being very poor electrical conductors, and unlike conductors, allow for electrical fields to pass through them. However, the electric fields ..

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are the backbone of virtually all modern test and measurement equipment. These devices are responsible for converting the real-world RF signals to digital signals that can then be further processed/stored and displayed to the user. There have been significant advances in ADC technology in recent years, with much faster ADCs with higher ..
