Jacques: ""
.(in fact, IIM, with its abuility to exert the PA in the four quadrant is the tool) ""Yes, 4 quadrant is the way to go. In using active loads since '83, I find the possibilities for circuit exercise wonderful, with the load pretending to be either a constant current, voltage, or resistance load...even constant power.
Jacques: ""
Easily solved if you apply correct layout methodology to minimize loop areas and use correct non-inductive resistors. ""Sheesh, the physical size lends itself to voltage pickup errors. I prefer using mine, it's 60 picohenry and 50 watts, with no coupled di/dt error.
Jacques: ""
I do remember there is an erratum following this paper. Check whether it's free, those guys are such audiosharks...""You remember correctly. And, they want 20 bucks for that also.
Maybe I should write up my load resistor and give it to them in exchange for a year's useage of the online archive..
Cheers, John
