A circular path created between the data lines and the ground wires when electronic devices communicate with each other. When systems have earth grounds through different power sources, differences in ...

Has anyone had any experience using HDMI fiber optic converters/extenders? I have a weird ground loop problem in my system which I traced back to my HTPC. I get hum whenever I join the grounds between ...

I'm trying to figure out a way to deal with a ground loop problem I have at home, this is 60hz mains hum that comes out of speakers, even when nothing is connected to the device besides power cable. I ...

As semiconductor device performance increases, especially for low power and higher speed ICs, testing low frequency 1/f, RTN and phase noise with improved signal-to-noise ratio is required. Finding ...

GEO HOOD: Large, planned developments, like the 600-acre Norton Commons (pictured), can sustain the upfront costs of geothermal through economies of scale. “The large-scale guys have it figured out; ...

GET UNDER MY LAWN: Drill rigs like this one can operate at 8 feet and — paired with an operator trained specifically for the job — can suffice for many residential geothermal direct exchange projects.

Ground Loop Isolator Yesterday we reported on Apple's instructions for eliminating the humming or buzzing noise coming from Power Mac G4 Mirrord Drive Door systems. J Brown delivers a source for the ...

Taildraggers remain a popular configuration for small aircraft, but they come with a significant risk during ground handling: ground loops. If the tail gets too far off course, it can swing around ...

Lee Wallender is a home improvement writer of nearly 20 years and specializes in home remodeling, repair and maintenance. Sami Allen is the managing editor at Forbes Home, with over seven years of ...

Unwanted disturbances in the data lines between two electronic devices communicating with each other due to unbalanced reference voltages in the ground loop. Data signals can be altered, and ...

When designing or installing the cables for a video transmission system, one assumption that engineers commonly make is that the local earth grounds of both ends of the cable are the same. When ...

As shown in Figure 1, this issue had been previously addressed during pre-internet times in EDN of January 18, 1990 but a further detailed look at the idea is warranted thirty-four years later. Figure ...
