Please read question description carefully before answering.
I am studying microelectronics. I recently got confused about about the small signal models and large signal models. After reading an extensive list of sources, I have come up with some pointers which I want to verify that I have got right.
The term "small signal" can refer two things : small signal amplifier and small signal model/analysis. A small signal model is not the same thing as a small signal amplifier. The same thing can be said about the term "large signal". However both small and large signals are ac signals, and they are large or small with respect to the quiescent or operating point established by the dc bias circuit obtained using DC modeling in both large and small signal amplifier analysis.
Both large and small signal models can be used to model the non linear devices like diodes and transistors( which are operated as amplifiers in active region). The transistor amplifiers are used as voltage or current amplifiers when used as small signal amplifiers and the transistor amplifiers are used as power amplifiers when used as large signal amplifiers.
The small signal amplifier is an amplifier when the applied (AC) input is small with respect to the DC operating point on the DC load line. This type of amplifier uses small signal modeling for its ac analysis. Small signal modeling involved linearizing the non-linear circuit elements at the dc operating point.
There's exist two load lines: dc load line which gives operating point and then there's an ac load line.
The small signal amplifier analysis includes two steps:
  1. DC analysis using DC modeling or Large Signal Modeling
  2. AC analysis using Small Signal AC (or Incremental) Modeling
The large signal amplifier is used as a power amplifier. The large signal amplifier analysis includes two steps:
  1. DC analysis using DC modeling or Large Signal Modeling
  2. AC analysis is done using graphical analysis and no specific model is used here to model the AC operation of large signal.
The DC analysis is done using large signal modeling in both small and large signal amplifiers so it is also called large signal analysis. The AC analysis done in small signal amplifiers using small signal modeling is small signal analysis.
Please provide feedback if my points are accurate or need improvement.
(I tried searching large signal model of a transistor and also searching dc model of a transistor. The results obtained in images section of google search show the kinds of circuits for dc models and large signal models. That is also how I inferred large signal models and DC models are the same. Some references are also present to support this point).

Answer
In my book about the semicondcutor devices I defined very precisely the small signal and the large signal concepts. Any nonlinear device can be modeled by a small signal model and a large signal model. Small and large is related to the ac signal amplitudes either current or voltage compared to the DC operating voltages and currents. In small signal, the signal is so small that one can linearize the device I-V characteristics. Otherwise the one has to use the large signal model.
In small signal amplifiers analysis one can use the small signal device models otherwise one has to use the large signal models.
Small signal models are either physically based or black box two port networks such as the h. model, the y-model and the s-model.

Question

We had a problem with "negative resistance" since it represented two different types of resistances - "true negative resistance"
and "differential negative resistance"
Now we have a similar problem with "negative impedance" since it represents different things in electronics and electrotechnics...
IN ELECTRONICS, we believe that all natural passive components (resistors, capacitors and inductors) absorbing energy from the input source have "positive impedance" (or simply "impedance"). So, from this viewpoint, the impedances of capacitors and inductors have the same positive signs. Conversely, the artificial electronic circuits - NICs (negative "resistors", negative "capacitors" and negative "inductors"), behaving in an opposite way (adding energy to the input source in the same manner as the according passive components do it), have a true "negative impedance". So, this classification regards to the way of processing energy - "positive impedance" means consuming while "negative impedance" means producing energy; "positive impedance" means "ordinary impedance" while "negative impedance" means something opposite as "inverse impedance", "opposite impedance" or "anti-impedance".
IN ELECTROTECHNICS, they classify the impedance of the reactive elements capacitor and inductor according to their behavior in time when a DC input voltage is applied - "negative impedance" symbolizes an "increasing voltage opposition" while "positive impedance" symbolizes a "decreasing voltage opposition". From this viewpoint, the impedances of capacitors and inductors have opposite signs.
IN ELECTRONICS, BOTH CAPACITORS AND INDUCTORS HAVE POSITIVE IMPEDANCE WHILE IN ELECTROTECHNICS, CAPACITORS HAVE NEGATIVE IMPEDANCE BUT INDUCTORS HAVE POSITIVE IMPEDANCE.
This concept is extremely simple, clear and intuitive if we think in terms of voltages when we apply a constant input voltage to the elementary RC and RL circuit. Then, voltage drops appear across capacitors and inductors; they change in a different (opposite) way through time but both they are voltage drops. Conversely, voltages appear across negative capacitors and inductors; they also change in a different (opposite) way through time but now both they are (electromotive) voltages, not voltage drops.
After these speculations, it is interesting to remember what a negative impedance converter did. What does it convert? Does it make a capacitor behave as an inductor and v.v., an inductor as a capacitor? No, it doesn't. A gyrator can do this magic. A negative impedance converter can make capacitors and inductors behave as sources (negative impedance elements) instead as passive elements having positive impedance:
I have presented these speculations in the archived Wikipedia talk page about negative resistance:
I have inspired to ask this question by the enthusiastic speculations of Tolga Soyata in the related questions about capacitor and inductor:
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Cyril Mechkov sir,
Capacitor is not considered as a current source because it can not provide current(energy) to the circuit for a long time. It will just momentarily provide(energise) the circuit, hence it is not classified as a current source.

Dear all
when I simulated VLC system, I used Rayleigh fading channel by calling the function "comm.MIMOChannel". However, I think the correct channel type should be Rician fading channel for VLC.
I would like to know, can i just replace ''Rayleigh'' in parameter "FadingDistribution" with Rician ? Or could someone tell me how to model the Rician channel, namely the main parameters in Rician ?

I think it is not easy to determine the fading distribution of VLC channel as it totally depends on the scenario. For example the indoor scenario is totally different about vehicular ones. Also, other parameters might affect this like frequency, existing of blockage and shadowing, etc.

I've got a bunch of antennas with varying VSWRs and dBi ratings, and a couple of standard SMA headers from various 2.4Ghz radios. I would like to learn how antenna selection will affect RF power and range.
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Mark,
welcome,
I would like to express the colleagues answer in an other way. In the link budget one defines also the effective isotropic radiated power EIRP which is the the transmit power Pt issued by the power amplifier at the input of the antenna times the antenna gain, that is the EIRP= Pt. At where At is the transmit antenna gain. Expressed in dBm= 10 log (Pt/1mw) + At ,
the EIRP is the quantity used to calculate the power reaching the receiver antenna. As the antenna gain increases the the received power will increase proportionally. This will increase the S/N ratio for the range and same receiver.

I am doing a project in power reduction of OFDM signals. Can anyone suggest ways to calculate power spectral density and the reason why the curve mostly starts at 0dB?
Relevant answer
Answer
Just a conceptual answer which can be useful. The OFDM symbol is already composed from its frequency components which are the OFDM subcarriers having frequency k deltaf from k=1 to N where N is the total number of subcarriers. These sub carriers are amplitude shift keying by the modulating digital data.
Every subcarrier signal k can be expressed by Vk exp -j k 2 pi deltaf t + j phik,
Vk and phik can be represented in the constellation diagram with maximum amplitude Vkm. In fact in order to reduce the spectral power density one has to reduce the size of the constellation Vkm.

Answer
Dear Isen,
You asked your question 7 years ago and then i come accidentally and introduce an answer to your question. You may be need its answer but i assume another colleagues may need it.
So, there are only three types of pins: power supply pins, analog pins and digital pins. The two types can be further subclassified into in put and output pins.
-The input digital pins must be capable of ESD protection as well as logic level converter
- The output digital pins must be make the required level conversion plus driving the output load
- The analog input and output cells has only to convey the signal from the input to output and vice verse in addition to ESD protection.
So the differences stems from the functions assigned to the cells connected to the pads.

This question is dual to the question below that I asked a few hours ago:
There, we began thinking what would happen when connecting the input voltage source in parallel to another voltage source (the output of a voltage follower) what was quite confusing for traditional thinking electrician and not so for electronics specialists. Here, we would like to know what happens if we connect the input current source in series to another current source (the dual situation). We would like to know it since we have the feeling that this is a powerful idea in electronics-:) Well, let's begin thinking...
It is obvious that we should apply the input current to the input of a current amplifier (e.g., a BJT) and to take the output current from its output. But we are curious enough to (try to) "blow" the input current into the output of the current amplifier (the BJT collector) and to take the collector voltage as an output. And we ask the same confusing questions:
Is this arrangement (two current sources connected in series) possible and correct from the basic electricity viewpoint? What would be the sense of this nonsensical connection? Can we use it somewhere in electronics? Can we see it in some existing circuit solutions? Can we see this idea in our life? Can we generalize it as a fundamental (particularly, circuit) principle?
BTW we have already managed to "blow" the input current into the collector of a BJT by applying a parallel-parallel negative feedback
but here we mustn't apply a negative feedback. Then?
As in the dual question, I have given a hint with the same attached picture. If this is not sufficient, look again at the link below:
I warn again: do not consider these speculations as an absolute truth; they show only my personal viewpoint at this phenomenon...

It has been recently claimed that D2D communication in LTE-A (Rel 12+) will establish direct communication with the device in its proximity (UE) and can have many potential advantages e.g., increased network spectral efficiency, energy efficiency, reduced transmission delay, offloaded traffic for BS and less congestion in cellular core network. In contrast, there are various anticipated challenges, for example Device discovery. D2D session setup, D2D resource allocation, D2D MIMO transmission and D2D-aided BS deployment in HetNets (Heterogeneous Networks).
Keeping this in view, can somebody shed light on possible differences between D2D communication and existing wireless transmission techniques such as WiFi Direct, Bluetooth, UWB? How is it different than these existing ones?
Relevant answer
Answer
I think the main issue here for D2D communication is the interference management. It is correct that the devices in D2D can directly communicating in similar way as other Ad hoc wireless networks. But there is one major difference here, that in D2D the communication can be performed under the control of the network. The signalling of D2D communication is still controlled by the network, therefore, it is possible to select for example the subbands or time of transmission in order to manage the interference levels with the Up/Down links of the network. The network also observe the quality of communication and the packets could be redirected over the the network if needed. This could enhance the reliability of the system.

I have a GNSS RF chip. I should connect the RF pin to an antenna connector with a 50 ohm microstrip transmission line.
I calculated the RF track width and printed the PCB
Now I want to measure the track impedance to verify calculation and design.
Is there any measurement device for that?
*The frequency of RF signal is about 1.5GHz.
Relevant answer
Answer
Denis:
My understanding of the 'exam question' that Farid Hosseinzadeh has set us is:
Given the PCB with GNSS chip installed, what piece of test equipment should be connected to the input connector of the PCB in order to find the characteristic impedance of the track connecting the input connector to the chip?
The picture I have in my head is that the track is in the order of a few cm in length and I am additionally assuming that no modification of the PCB to facilitate the measurement would be welcome.
From the assumption about track length I was then thinking along the lines of section 9.2 in Keysight Technologies, 'Time Domain Analysis Using a Network Analyzer' http://literature.cdn.keysight.com/litweb/pdf/5989-5723EN.pdf, which is saying that the TDR NWA should be operated with wide frequency span to resolve down to disconuity separations in the cm region.
If you could provide details of the measurement you thinking of, which answers the requirement as stated in this post, without using a wideband test pulse or a wide frequency span NWA test signal, I will happily be educated.

The extremely interesting and topical questions below were about the rift between digital and analog circuits
But the human aspects engendered by this "war" are even more important for us, human beings, living and working in this continously changing environment. This "digitalization" makes a tremendous impact on the electronics, particularly on electronics education. In addition to all the positive sides of this process, there are negative aspects as well...
First of all, this tendency has imposed the domination of the formal approach in technical education. Making circuits digital, miniaturizing and enclosing them in packages, and interacting with them by means of software (e.g., FPGA) has apparently eliminated the need of technical abilities, a natural aptitude to technics (simply, the vocation for mastering something material, e.g., real circuits, with his/her own hands). This gives a chance to students that are averse to technics to enter technical universities at the expense of those having a technical vocation. For example, students graduated mathematical, philological, trading and other non-technical schools can easily enter Technical university of Sofia by solving a few mathematical problems without any proof of their technical aptitudes). In the Computer systems department, where I teach basic, digital and microcomputer circuitry, our students become sooner a kind of "informatics" specialists than real engineers...
Of course, the same sorry truth can be said about teachers and university lecturers. The abstract digital ground gives an excellent opportunity for those of them having no technical sense, abilities and vocation, to work in technical departments where to build "brilliant" courses and to carry out "striking" lections analyzing circuits by applying sophisticated formal methods without understanding circuit phenomena. I have noted the sorry truth that I can talk with my colleagues about anything but only without circuits...

My question regards the real necessity to have subframe (3GPP Rel. 12) or slot (3GPP Rel. 13) aligned transmissions in the unlicensed band.
According to TR 36.889: "Channel reservation refers to the transmission of signals, by an LAA node, after gaining channel access via a successful LBT operation, so that other nodes that receive the transmitted signal with energy above a certain threshold sense the channel to be occupied." This signal is transmitted until the next subframe or slot boundary is reached so that transmissions are aligned.
The channel reservation signal defined by the 3GPP standard adds an overhead to LTE-LAA transmissions that impact on its performance. If there were no necessity for any kind of time alignment to the PCell the SCell performance could be increased.
Therefore, my question is, what would be the possible implications to all LTE layers if the transmissions were not aligned at all? 
Relevant answer
I am still trying to understand if the time alignment to PCell's time frame structure is really necessary. It seems there could be non-time aligned transmissions by the SCell as long as it transmits the necessary signals (RS, PSS, SSS, BCH, etc.).
Does anyone know if there is some kind of limitation to non-aligned transmissions?

and
- this battery can generate the output power you need to have a beneficial effect.

Then I suggest try absorbers, if your university has an anechoic chamber for antenna or EMC testing you will should find some absorbers there. These are replaced in routine and usually available, cut them to your required size and measure the results after placing them at places likely to be causing coupling. If it works you may order specific ones or for academic requirements this should suffice.

I am building a VLC system. A DMT signal (300MHz) from AWG directly modulates my LED. The LED is of SMD type mounted on a MC-PCB. I have transferred the DMT signal from AWG onto a 50 ohm trace on another PCB (via SMA jacks). 
How can I connect the signal from trace with SMD LED terminals. The trace is locate don another PCB and LED is mounted on a separate MC-PCB. Can I use a simple copper wire to connect the trace and the LED terminals? For RF applications coaxial are preferable. Should I use a coaxial cable for connection between the LED and trace?
Relevant answer
Answer
Here come one good and one bad news:  The bad first:
The maximum output voltage of the generator is 0.5 V peak to peak = +/-0.25 V (with DC component = 0 V) into 50 ohm = +/-5 mA.  The LEDs need a DC bias voltage in the range of 2.0 V to 4.5 V, with a current of a few 100 mA.  So you cannot drive the LEDs directly by the output signal of the generator.
The good news: If you place a suitable amplifier (transistor plus the necessary passive components) very near the two pads of one LED, you don't have to worry about reflections.  I would try a simple (not optimal) circuit like the one in the attached scan.  However, if this would be your first "homemade" PCB I would advise you to ask someone in the lab for support.
And, still being doubtful about the switching speed of these LEDs, I would start the tests using a very low frequency (e. g. 50 Hz). At frequencies below 100 Hz it might be necessary to use a greater capacitor at the input (e. g. 100 myF at 12.5 Hz).
I hope this is helpful. Good luck!

Answer
 Dear Lutz,
Wish you an enjoying journey to your son.
Chaotic signals have random nature much like noise and their applications stems from such unique characteristics.  So, they are used as an alternative to the pseudo noise code generators such as the maximum length PN codes. Their main applications are in spread spectrum systems where they are used to spectrally  spread a lnarrow band width signal to produce noise like wide band signal which becomes more imune against narrow band jamming.  Also, it can be used in orthogonalizing the different data signals to make them orthogonal and thereby do not interfere with each other  if they are transmitted in shared medium. This is is the code division multiple access CDMA. The last main application is to secure the data by encrypting them with cipher  keys generated by chaotic signals. One of the unique properties of the chaotic signals is that they are very sensitive to the  initial values and encounter large variations.

When discussing whether there is a connection between the transistor common-base stage and the op-amp inverting amplifier...
... Prof. Lutz von Wangenheim gave as an example the so-called "current feedback amplifier" (CFA). I have ever met this weird device, but I did not pay attention to it because I just did not understand what the hell all these absurd connections were (an output to output instead to input?) contradicting the simple engineering logic. Now it was enough to cast a glance at its internal circuit diagram (the attached picture below) to be amazed and admire this great circuit solution! This was a chain of ingenious ideas, a real "necklace of diamonds"! Just to see how beautiful, simple and symmetrical its circuit diagram is enough to admire it!
It was very interesting for me to see in this "cocktail" of famous circuit solutions some useful implementations of basic circuit ideas that have arisen for consideration in a number of previous questions:
http://www.circuit-fantasia.com/my_work/conferences/cs_2005/paper2.htm (the differential dynamic load idea and its implementations)
But what was my surprise when browsing through reputable sources? I noticed that instead of being made related to the classical tricks widely used in transistor circuits, the current feedback amplifier is presented as something completely new. I have not met even a hint of the existence of such famous circuit ideas like "common-base" and "common-collector" configurations, "dynamic load", "bootstrapping", instead, I read direct statements like "the inverting input is its low-impedance output terminal" (http://www.analog.com/library/analogdialogue/anniversary/22.html). But I would be very interested to see the look on the face of the ordinary (unenlightened in the intricacies of the circuit "handicraft") reader when he/she reads that the input of the circuit is... its output!
So, my suggestion is to try unveiling the clever secrets behind CFA as we go back in the past and try to recreate, step-by-step, the way its creators (David Nelson, Kenneth, Saller Bill Gross etc) were thinking when inventing it. If you allow me, I can start the discussion by exposing below my story about the possible reasons for originating this clever circuit solution.

Welcome,
The modulation index of pulse width modulated waveform representing an output of a dc to ac inverter is purposely defined by the amplitude of fundamental frequency component contained in the output waveform divided by the  a reference inverter obtained by the fundamental frequency clocking FFC. The reference waveform which is a bipolar square wave gives an an amplitude of 2/pi Vidc, the input Dc voltage. 
The the modulation index= Vof/ (2/pi) Vidc,
where Vof is the fundamental amplitude of the output pulse modulated wave form.
Then all what do need if to fiter the fundamental and measure its amplitude.
In fact you need to measure the amplitude of your output sine wave after the low pass filtering.

Relevant answer
Answer
The group velocity of the microwave and light wave must match as the waves are wide band modulated. In case of a very narrow bandwidth the group velocity may approach the phase velocity in the limit of a single ferquency. So, in general, one has to match the group velocity.
This is equivalent to match the impedance of the two transmission media in a wide bandwidth by using the group index ng. That is zw= zo/ ng for the light waves and the ffective index for the microwave.

Hi!
I am quite sure, but the problem would have arisen because of improper selection of port, for that purpose first form the outer cylinder (vacuum) of radius slightly greater than your assigned radius and then select edge of outer cylinder for assigning ports. Second, what I saw, that your excitation is been given at some other line (microstrip line), not at your assigned port (may be, I am wrong), this can also create some problems. One more thing, gaps which you defined, have some physical significance in terms of electric field, magnetic field, fringing field effects and wavelength. So, it is also a problematic case, that's why you would be getting spikes. I will run your problem by own, then I will be able to discuss exact solution of your PS.

i want brief details about reflection coefficient vs frequency in antennas. for a good antenna, if reflection coefficient is more or less
Relevant answer
Dear Venkateswararao ,
The antenna is a load on the radio frequency feeding source. The feeding source, has normally a source impedance Zs. Assuming that the antenna input impedance is Za, then by definition the reflection coefficient rho can be expressed by 
roh=( Za- Zs)/ (Za+Zs)
To feed the whole power to antenna, the roh must be equal to zero. Which means that Za= Zs. Normally Zs is pure resistive and equal 50 ohm then  Za must be matched to 50 ohm which means that the reactive part of the antenna impedance Xa must be made zero , which is the condition of resonant antenna, while the antenna equvalent resistance must be matched to 50 ohms.
From this discussion , the reflection coefficient will be minimum at the resonance frequency of the antenna. The reflection coefficient will be highest far from resonance frequency and drops to minimum at resonance frequency of the antenna. If there is equality of the resistive parts of the antenna and source  the reflection coefficient will fall theoretically to zero at the resonance frequency of the antenna.

First the question is not complete and clear. Which type of recorder you are talking about? Mechanical, Electronic (Analog or Digital), or Magnetic etc.
Any recorder record a variable quantity. May be physical- temperature, pressure, humidity, weight, speed, acceleration, voltage, current, power etc. etc. Now these physical quantities need to be converted to another physical quantity say mechanical movement, or voltage or current depending upon the type of recorder. This conversion of one physical quantity to other takes place through a mechanism or a device called transducer. Simple microphone is a transducer. It converts air pressure into equivalent varying voltages. Speaker is a transducer that converts varying voltages at its input into equivalent  varying air pressure.

I just found an bootstrapped sample/hold circuit from a text book. I have simulated the same. I need to calculate SNR, SNDR and ENOB for the same
Input at 5MHz, sampled at 100MHz
How can I do that on cadence?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Anush,
I would like to add to  the Vladimir answer, that the error due to sampling is considered as a noise and distortion. To be more clear the sample and hold circuit outputs at a sampling time instant  nTs a value y(nTs) while the inpu is x(nTs) . As clear from you waveform the two values are different. They are only approximately equal.
So, the noise and distortion is the difference y(nTs) )=y(nTs) - x(nTs) ,
So building a difference time sequence extending a number of complete cycles of the input wave form can be used to evaluate the noise and distortion simply by by squaring and averaging the difference function along the observation time T=MTs.
That is N+D= sum y(nTs) ^2 over all Msamples /M,
The signal to noise and distortion can be determined by dividing the signal power to the noise and distortion power as defined by the above equation. That is,
SNAD RATIO=  sum x(nTs) ^2 over Msamples/M / N+D,
In order to separate the noise from distortion you need only to transform the output sampled sequence to frequency domain using the discrete fourier transform or the fast Fourier transform. The input tone and its harmonics will be apparent in this domain in addition to the noise floor. One can then determine the mean square value of the fundamental and the mean square value of the harmonies and the  mean square value of the noise floor. One can get also the spurious free difference
which represents the ENOB. However, the effective number of bits has only meaning for a complete A/D converter.
