    Fall Linear Rise
AI Thread Summary
To create linear rise and fall edges in a circuit, the user seeks to modify a signal to achieve a more linear transition rather than an exponential one. Clarification is requested on whether "linear" refers to a gradual ramping between levels or sharper transitions. The user confirms that a ramp, as shown in Figure 2, is the desired outcome. The discussion focuses on finding solutions to achieve this specific waveform modification. Assistance is needed to implement the necessary circuit adjustments.

I need help with a circuit. I need to run the signal in first image through a circuit that can clean up the exponential rise and fall edges and make it more linear. Can anyone help.

What do you mean by "linear"? That you want the signal to ramp between the levels or do you need the the transitions to be more "vertical"?

Ramp. Figure 2 is exactly what i need. I believe that is a ramp, however slight it is.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
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...
