AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the appearance of WiFi and Bluetooth RF waveforms, noting that in the time domain, they appear as a blur during packet transmissions, while in the frequency domain, they show multi-lobed frequency bands. The inquiry stems from either a school assignment or general interest in understanding these waveforms. The thread was moved to the Electrical Engineering forum for broader visibility. Participants engage in questions about the use of oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers for analyzing communication waveforms. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities of visualizing RF signals in different domains.

In what domain? In the time domain it looks like a blur during the packet transmissions. In the frequency domain it looks like multi-lobed frequency bands. Is this for a schoolwork assignment or general interest?

Yes.

Yes.
In that case, I'll move the thread to the EE forum to get more views.

@Benjamin_harsh -- Does my post above make sense? Have you used an oscilloscope to look at communication waveforms of any kind? Have you used a spectrum analyzer to look at RF communication bands? :smile:
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
