These magical creatures crop up out of nowhere and fry your electronics or annoy your ear holes. Understanding them will doubtless save you money and hassle. The ground loop in a nutshell is what ...

One of the most difficult types of power problem to understand, diagnose, and resolve is the Ground Loop. All types of equipment are susceptible to this type of problem: medical, industrial, and data ...

When designing or installing the cables for a video transmission system, one assumption that engineers commonly make is that the local earth grounds of both ends of the cable are the same. When ...

Unwanted disturbances in the data lines between two electronic devices communicating with each other due to unbalanced reference voltages in the ground loop. Data signals can be altered, and ...

Of all the annoyances that can afflict any audio/video home theater or even a simple stereo installation, the notorious “ground loop” may well be the most difficult and persistent one to track down ...

As semiconductor device performance increases, especially for low power and higher speed ICs, testing low frequency 1/f, RTN and phase noise with improved signal-to-noise ratio is required. Finding ...
