Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.
guest Post subject: what's meant by coupling Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2005 4:58 am i m an undergraduate and starting out in circuit analysis and design and hope to go on to do something in rf field 'cause i like it a lot. i've a very basic question to ask...when people talk about ac coupling capacitor, what they do really mean? exactly, what does coupling exactly mean? i know blocking cap blocks dc signal, bypass cap open circuits the dc signal but i'm not exactly sure what's meant by dc coupling or ac coupling.
any explanation w/ or w/o example will help a lot! thanx

YZ-israel Post subject: Posted: Wed Sep 14, 2005 1:33 am you can say DC coupling is the same as High Pass Filter. It will blocked the DC and the lower Freq. and pass the higher freq.
the 3 dB point for this filter depend on the capacitor and the impedance.[/img]
