AI Thread Summary
In a voltage-follower configuration using an op-amp, the output voltage (Vout) ideally equals the input voltage (Vin), resulting in a closed-loop gain of 1. When a resistor ratio of 9:1 is mentioned, it typically refers to a non-inverting amplifier setup rather than a true voltage follower. In this case, the resistors are positioned in the feedback loop, with one resistor connected from the output to the inverting input and the other from the inverting input to ground. The closed-loop gain can be calculated using the formula Vout = Vin * (1 + R2/R1), where R2 is the feedback resistor and R1 is the resistor to ground. Understanding these configurations is crucial for accurate circuit design and analysis.

Op-Amp: "voltage-follower" question

Hi all, ...

If a simple op-amp circuit is described as:
-> being in a "voltage-follower with-gain" configuration, and
-> having a resistor ratio of 9:1

...Where are the two resistors positioned with respect to the op-amp circuit element, and
...How, if at all, doe they come into play when calculating the configuration's "closed-loop gain"?

Thanks heaps!

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...
