Gate Image Source

AI Thread Summary

The image confirms the arrangement of the components as Gate, Drain, and Source from left to right. This information is corroborated by the package outline in the datasheet. Additionally, it is important to note that the heatsink tab is connected to the Drain. The datasheet does not explicitly label these components, leading to the need for confirmation. Accurate identification of these terminals is crucial for proper circuit design.

Just want to confirm i have this correctly..

in the following image:

from left to right, its Gate, Drain, Source ?

it doesn't say on the datasheet

Yes that's correct, it's shown in the package outline at the end of the datasheet. Note that the heatsink tab is also connected to the drain.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
