If the impedances in the two circuits differ, then the power ratio must be corrected for that difference.

The same formula and conditions apply to the determination of a power ratio from a ratio of currents. Vi/v2 is the ratio of RMS voltages across two circuit elements of equal resistance, or in the case of identical signal shapes in the two circuits, such as sine waves, the ratio of voltage amplitudes across two circuits having equal complex-valued impedances, and This definition of a power ratio, in units of decibels, assumes equal impedances in the two circuits: In two circuits of equal impedance, the ratio of their powers may be determined as the square of the ratios of the voltages. Transmission period ( drawing not to scale)įigure 1.1-The power spectral density of random data signal has nulls at multiples of the data rates and a maximum effective bandwidth related to its rise and fall time.

The knee frequency, !knee ~ 0.5/ !10_90% Hz, is a crude estimate of the highest frequency content within a particular digital signal. He frequently conducts technical workshops for digital engineers at Oxford University and other sites worldwide: DR.
