A dc restoration circuit is needed following the output coupling capacitor to make the drive voltage referenced to the power switch s common. The supply voltage of the driver should be well bypassed so that its voltage does not droop during the drive pulse. 

A ferrite toroid or E core can be used for a drive transformer. No gap is needed since the input coupling capacitor guarantees that the core will operate in a bipolar fashion. A high permeability core is also suitable for this purpose. The wire that is going to be used will be in the range of 32 to 36 AWG. The core size will be approximately 0.4 to 0.6 inches (10 to 15mm).

CD is the capacitance of the detector which is depicted by the dotted lines in order to indicate that - in contrast to actual electronic components - it is a property inherent to the detector HV is a high voltage source, Ra the load resistor, CK the high voltage coupling capacitor and Amp the...

An AC current will flow through the three series coupled capacitors two double-layer capacitors at each side of the wetted membrane and the capacitor with the membrane itself as dielectric. The measured voltage difference will consist of flie voltage drop in the solution between the measuring electrodes, plus the voltage drop across the three capacitors. Most of the reactance will stem from the membrane because its capacitance will be far lower than that of the double layers. At sufficiently high frequencies, the reactance of the membrane capacitors will be so small that the effect of the membrane will disappear, and flie phase angle will approach 0°. 

A practical, important system of two mutually coupled capacitors (Kaplianskyetal, 1972) is shown in Fig. 2.46. This is the system of two parallel lines of the length I symmetrically located with respect to each other. Let all wires have the same radius ro the distance between the wires is di in the first Une and di in the second one. The lines are located in two...

The connections which we have shown are for dc input. If ac operation is desired, all that is necessary is the insertion of a coupling capacitor in series with the input signal lead. 

Capacitors can be used to separate a.c. and d.c. in an electronic circuit. If the output from circuit A, shown in Fig. 3.75(a), contains both a.c. and d.c. but only an a.c. input is required for circuit B then a coupling capacitor is connected between them. This blocks the d.c. while offering a low reactance to the a.c. component. Alternatively, if it is required that only d.c. be connected to circuit B, shown in Fig. 3.75(b), a decoupling capacitor can be connected in parallel with circuit B. This will provide a low reactance path for the a.c. component of the...
