A fundamental property of any electronic or electrical circuit is that the voltages present within it are referenced to a common point, conventionally called the ground. This term is derived from ...

Connecting them at only one point. Cutting the ground plane under a mixed signal component Connecting them with capacitors. Segmenting the ground plane in a PCB such that there is only a narrow ...

Having problems with your process controls and electrical instrumentation? The source may be a grounding disturbance known as a ground loop. According to the ANSI/ IEEE Standard Dictionary of ...

Grounding of electrical systems is an often forgotten yet important design consideration. Issues with proper grounding can be complicated, confusing, and downright frustrating to solve. So much so ...

Proper rudder control is crucial for preventing ground loops in tailwheel airplanes; continuously and gently using the rudder pedals ("wiggling your feet") is key to maintaining directional control on ...

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 ...

Ground start is the primary analog signaling method used between telephone switches such as the central office (CO) and a private branch exchange (PBX). It offers a way to indicate on-hook and ...

A signal-injection circuit for control-loop analysis is flat from dc to 200 kHz, isolated from chassis ground and easily constructed with a readily available instrumentation amplifier Brian Keeney, ...
