    Terahertz insulator materials and reflection properties

    Hi, I'm currently perusing ideas for research in the area of Terahertz waveforms. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on previous works dealing with Terahertz insulator materials and reflection properties. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Regards, NW

    Help with Feedback System Z-Transform

    How would I find the initial conditions terms, like would I take the Z-transform of the difference equation when i sub in the initial condition terms to the difference eqn?

    Help with Feedback System Z-Transform

    Thanks for that CEL :) Seem to be getting somewhere :d For my last question the the 1st post... With B(z) - the output from block H(z)... would B(z) = C(z) * H(z) Which equals B(z) = H(z)G(z)[R(z)-H(z)C(z)] ...>?

    Help with Feedback System Z-Transform

    Hey CEL, Thanks very much for your fast reply :) Can I ask, how you got \frac{C(z)}{A(z)}=\frac{z(z+8)}{(z+2)(z+4)} I had: \frac{z}{(z+1)} * \frac{(z+1)(z-8)}{(z+1)(z-8)+9z} Simplify to \frac{C(z)}{A(z)}=\frac{z(z-8)}{(z-2)(z+4)} Where H(z) = 9/(z-8)..? Also would the...

    Help with Feedback System Z-Transform

    Hey, Thanks for the replies... I can’t believe I made that mistake... CEL is right is a negative feedback system, sorry about that, it was late when I was drawing that pic :P Thanks for showing the steps of how you got that jhicks :) For the comparator (circle) A(z) is + and the Output...

    Help with Feedback System Z-Transform

    Hey, I have the following standard feedback system: http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/7152/feedbacksystemuq5.jpg This shows the Z-Transform where: A(z) is the z transform for input a[n] and C(z) is the z-transform of the system's output c[n]...

    What Is the Smallest Angle of Incidence for Light to Enter and Exit a Prism?

    Hey, I have a problem.,. I am trying to figure out smallest angle of incidence θ for which a ray can enter the left face of the prism (seen in the pic below) and exit the right face. The infomation I have: The isosceles prism has apex angle φ = 56.1° and index of refraction n = 1.42...
