What is the difference between a DC power supply and an AC power supply?

common problems 4180

Alternating current is suitable for transmission and distribution of electricity over long distances through the grid system.

Direct current is a one-way flow of charge and is more reliable than alternating current, but is not suitable for long-distance power transmission. Most electronic devices use DC because their voltage is constant, such as devices powered by batteries. Some devices also use rectifiers to convert AC to DC. Power supplies usually have built-in rectifiers and transformers that can raise or lower the voltage to a suitable level.

    The article will cover the basics of impedance and points of measurement. Impedance is the resistance of an AC circuit and is invisible. Therefore, it must be measured using a specialized measuring instrument such as an impedance tester. People who have never touched an impedance tester before may be more concerned about how to use it and what to look for when using it. Therefore, this article will present in an easy-to-understand way the...

    There are two main types of spectrum analyzers: sweep tuning analyzers and real-time analyzers. Modern spectrum analyzers use digital signal processing to provide more measurement capabilities, making it easier for you to interpret your measurements. Whether it's a swept-tuning analyzer or a real-time spectrum analyzer, they both display the change in amplitude with frequency. However, exactly how each analyzer handles...
