Impedance Combination01:21

Impedance Combination

294
Consider a string of christmas lights, each bulb symbolizing an impedance element. In this series configuration, the flow of electric current remains uniform across every component. This behavior aligns with Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL), which asserts that the total impedance in such a setup equals the sum of individual impedances—akin to resistors in series. It follows that the voltage from the power source is distributed proportionally among these components, adhering to the...

Impedances and Admittance

In the realm of AC circuits, passive circuit elements like resistors, inductors, and capacitors take on a different character when characterized by phasor voltage and current. Their behavior is expressed through impedance, a vital concept in AC circuit analysis.
Impedance is a measure of resistance to sinusoidal current flow in an AC circuit. Unlike their behavior in DC circuits, where inductors appear as short circuits and capacitors as open circuits, the behavior of these components in AC...

Biasing of Metal-Semiconductor Junctions

185
Biasing metal-semiconductor junctions involves applying a voltage across the junction. Specifically, the metal is connected to a voltage source, while the semiconductor is grounded. This technique is essential for controlling the direction and magnitude of current flow in electronic devices, including diodes, transistors, and photovoltaic cells.
In Schottky junctions, where the semiconductor is n-type, applying a positive voltage to the metal relative to the semiconductor reduces its Fermi...

MOSFET Amplifiers

138
The MOSFET, when operating in its active region, functions as a voltage-controlled current source. In this region, the gate-to-source voltage controls the drain current. This principle underlies the operation of the transconductance MOSFET amplifier. The output current is directed through a load resistor to convert this amplifier into a voltage amplifier. The output voltage is then obtained by subtracting the voltage drop across the load resistance from the supply voltage. This process results...

Design Example: Capacitance Multiplier Circuit01:20

Design Example: Capacitance Multiplier Circuit

654
In integrated circuit technology, a capacitance multiplier is often utilized to produce a larger capacitance value when a small physical capacitance falls short. This is achieved by a circuit that multiplies capacitance values by a factor of up to 1000, such that a 10-pF capacitor can replicate the performance of a 100-nF capacitor.
The circuit illustrated in Figure 1 below incorporates two op-amps, with the first operating as a voltage follower and the second acting as an inverting amplifier.

RLC Series Circuits: Impedance01:29

RLC Series Circuits: Impedance

2.1K
When current flow is opposed in a DC or AC circuit, it is referred to as resistance or impedance, respectively. Impedance plays a key role in determining the performance of AC circuits. It is represented by Z, which is a combination of resistance and reactance, and depends upon the angular frequency, measured in ohms.
Thus, the magnitude of the impedance is given by the following equation,

Area of Science:

  • Photonics
  • Materials Science
  • Electromagnetism

Background:

  • Photonic crystals (PCs) and metamaterials are key components in metadevices.
  • Designing effective refractive indices (n_e) and relative impedances (Z_r) of PCs is challenging due to their coupled nature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel method for independently tuning the effective refractive index (n_e) and relative impedance (Z_r) of photonic crystals.
  • To enable flexible design of metadevices with tailored electromagnetic properties.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a unit cell composed of a dielectric matrix with symmetrically distributed air holes.
  • Analyzing the dependence of n_e on the dielectric filling ratio and Z_r on hole position.
  • Achieving impedance matching (Z_r = 1) by adjusting hole positions for various n_e values.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated that n_e is primarily governed by the dielectric filling ratio.
  • Showed that Z_r is controllable via the position of air holes within the unit cell.
  • Successfully achieved impedance-matched conditions (Z_r = 1) for PCs with diverse n_e.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed method allows for independent and flexible tuning of n_e and Z_r in PCs.
  • This facilitates the construction of high-efficiency impedance-matched metadevices, including generalized Mikaelian lenses (>96% efficiency), even with high refractive index matrices.
