Static vs Dynamic Conditions
09/24/2020
Circuit Analysis under "Static Conditions" versus "Dynamic Conditions":
Dynamic Conditions are often either a little bit more complicated, or sometimes a lot more complicated.
As an example, analyzing a Transistor Circuit under Dynamic Conditions is a lot more complicated than under Static Conditions.
- Dynamic "Slopes" come into play.
-
Methods of "Coupling" become important considerations.
- Direct Coupling
- RC Coupling
- Impedance Coupling
- Transformer Coupling
- Optical Coupling
-
Even the characteristics of the device often change.
- Input and Output Impedances
- Gain
- Inter-Electrode-Coupling
- As the frequency increases, as in VHF, UHF, and above, often there are many factors that come into play that can really complicate things, such as with Microwave Frequencies.
- Reactance often plays an important part in these situations, so understanding both Static and Dynamic Conditions can really help when we evaluate various circuits.
