Sampling based versus mixer-based front-endNMDG NV
This document compares two techniques for large-signal network analysis - a sampler-based front-end and a mixer-based front-end. The sampler-based approach converts broadband signals to low frequencies simultaneously, allowing fast measurement but with lower dynamic range due to noise.

This document summarizes research on estimating the conditions required to break lock in a missile-borne monopulse receiver. It describes designing a third-order phase-locked loop (PLL) receiver model and simulating two jamming scenarios: 1) continuous wave (CW) radar echo with CW jammer signal, and 2) CW radar echo with frequency-modulated (FM) CW jammer signal. For the first scenario, simulation results show the PLL loses lock to the radar echo when the jammer to signal amplitude ratio exceeds 1.01. For the second scenario, simulations estimate the FM modulation index required for break lock varies exponentially with the modulating signal voltage, and an empirical relationship is derived.

FM demodulation involves changing the frequency variations in a signal into amplitude variations at baseband, e.g. audio. There are several techniques and circuits that can be used each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
In any radio that is designed to receive frequency modulated signals there is some form of FM demodulator or detector. This circuit takes in frequency modulated RF signals and takes the modulation from the signal to output only the modulation that had been applied at the transmitter.
There are several types of FM detector / demodulator that can be used. Some types were more popular in the days when radios were made from discrete devices, but nowadays the PLL based detector and quadrature / coincidence detectors are the most widely used as they lend themselves to being incorporated into integrated circuits very easily...
Infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry are two common forms of spectroscopy used to determine molecular structure. Infrared spectroscopy works by shining infrared radiation on a molecule and observing which wavelengths are absorbed, providing clues about its bonds. Mass spectrometry works by firing electrons at molecules to form radical cations, then detecting their mass-to-charge ratios to determine molecular mass and obtain additional structural information. Both techniques provide essential data for elucidating molecular structures.
This document describes an experiment to characterize active low-pass and high-pass filters. The objectives were to determine the cutoff frequencies, gain-frequency responses, and roll-offs of second-order low-pass and high-pass filters. The experiments involved plotting the gain-frequency and phase-frequency responses of the filters using a function generator, oscilloscope, and op-amps. The measured cutoff frequencies and roll-offs matched the expected values based on the circuit components. However, when higher frequencies approached the op-amp's bandwidth limit, the high-pass filter response became band-pass-like due to the active element limitation. In conclusion, active filters are suitable for low-frequency applications where the op-

NMR signals provide information about the number, environment, and connectivity of different nuclei in a molecule.
1) Early NMR spectrometers used permanent magnets or electromagnets with field strengths of 60-100 MHz for proton resonance, while modern instruments use superconducting magnets cooled by liquid helium to achieve fields over 100 MHz.
2) Key requirements of NMR spectrometers include high and stable magnetic field, field homogeneity, and a computer interface.
3) Pulsed Fourier transform (FT) NMR uses a radiofrequency pulse to simultaneously excite all nuclei, and the free induction decay signal is Fourier transformed to obtain the frequency domain spectrum.
