In the cellular telephone RF world measuring power has become a critical function because the difference of 1 decibel can affect the operation of a 'cell site with three sectors, eight channels per r

It may be worth mentioning that RMS is the usual method of defining a DC equivalent which, given a pure waveform, will be about the same as the average. With distorted waveforms RMS will not define t

The "obsolete" test equipment that flooded the surplus market about 12 years ago when the defense contractors went bust was a goldmine for those of us who were (and still are) doing consulting work.

It may also be worth mentioning that there really is no such thing as "RMS power". The proper term is average power. RMS is only valid in terms of voltage or current. You can find an RMS value of pow

Dear Gary, You're acquainted with 3-phase electricity, yes? Imagine looking down the edge of the wire and seeing waveforms, infinitely thin, popping out at 0, 120 and 270 degrees. Kind of vector-ish,

That's a common misconception. Only RMS voltage or RMS current through a resistor produces the equivalent heating that the same value DC voltage or current provide into that same resistor. When calcu

If what you say was true then there would never be any power into our transmission lines. Average power is not zero simply because there is no negative power. There is only RMS voltage and RMS curren
