Frequency stability is key to the performance of nanoresonators. This stability is thought to reach a limit with the resonator's ability to resolve thermally induced vibrations. Although measurements ...

As we move away from large power plants with massive rotating turbogenerators, there will be problems with maintaining lock-step grid system frequency stability. Wind turbines have much less ...

Tuned circuits are cheap and easy to produce, however their frequency stability is extremely affected by external factors such as temperature and vibration. Thus an RF oscillator using a tuned circuit ...

Injection locking [1] can not only improve oscillator frequency stability and phase noise, but act as a selective frequency divider as well [2][3]. You can find sample setups of a simple ...

Appropriately cut quartz crystals can be used as high-quality electromechanical resonators. Their piezoelectric properties (voltage across the crystal deforms it; deforming the crystal generates a ...

Rising electricity demand from EVs and AI is stressing a grid built of centralized, rotating generators. Renewables can provide fill the rising demand, but are they “grid ...

Read an introduction to this series in Part 1, and Part 2, which covers noise. This is the third and final part in a series which discusses how to properly test a power supply to ensure it will work ...
