Coupling Capacitors: Necessity for Signal Injection

AI Thread Summary
Adding a coupling capacitor to the generator is generally recommended when injecting a signal for troubleshooting. The coupling capacitor serves to block DC components while allowing AC signals to pass, which helps in isolating the signal source from the load. Its presence can enhance signal integrity and prevent distortion, while its absence may lead to poor signal response and unwanted interference. Understanding the role of the coupling capacitor is crucial for effective signal injection and accurate troubleshooting. Overall, incorporating a coupling capacitor is beneficial for maintaining signal quality.

Welcome to PF;
It is usually a good idea - yep.
 
Can you elaborate?
 
What is the role of a coupling capacitor?
How does it's presence or absence affect the signal response?
