Thanks for your reply!
Yes, I figured as much. However I am having a hard time finding a good book to use. Perhaps I am not searching for the right key words. That is why I am asking for other who have learned about this formally for advice on where they learned it from. What I am looking...
Hello,
I am a hobby machinist and also an EE PhD student. Recently I have been trying to make powerful solenoid actuators. I have succeeded, but they aren't perfect. I really want to make a professional, powerful solenoid. To give a sense of how deep I am going, here is what I have found so...
##n## is an integer. And I believe must be smaller than -2 from what I showed here. So that would mean the max value in the lower limit should be -4? Then I could just expand out until k=0 and use a geometric sum.
Homework Statement
Find ##x[n] \ast h[n]## when ##x[n] = 3 u[2-n]## and ##h[n] = 4\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{n+2}u[n+4]## where ##u[n-k]## is the unit step function.
Homework Equations
None really

Yes, sorry I didn't state my current academic status as I wanted to keep the post short.
I will have my PhD in electrical engineering in a year and also obtain a masters in physics at the same time.
Hello,
I will try to keep it short here. I want to be a professor (Physics or Engineering) but from what I am reading, it seems like a large amount of work with little pay. I have a few questions about this topic and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on it.
1.) What are the...
Hello,
I hope I am posting this in the correct forum topic. It really is more of a "mathy" type of question, but I am posting it here because it deals with radar, and this type of math is used a lot in radar. To the mods, feel free to move it to a more suitable location if desired.
I have...
I made a typo in my original post, the one term at the end of the lagrangian should be ##mg y_0## not ##mg \dot{y_0}##.
I figured it out! I was correct in my reasoning as you pointed out, but the trick was to realize that part of the integral of the third term can be written in the form ##-ml...
1.) The Problem Statement:
a.) Find the Lagrangian of a pendulum where the height of the hinge is oscillating in the y direction and is is defined as a function ##y_0=f(t)##
b.) Add a function (a gauge transformation) of the form ##\frac{d F(\theta,t)}{dt}## to the original lagrangian...
Ah that makes perfect sense! So now that the path in phase space is determined, how do I do the integration? I have attached a plot I made in MATLAB defining the loop the the particles motion defines in phase space. It would just be the center loop.
My professor said I have to look at the...
I only really need help evaluating the contour integral. I added more detail for completeness.

An ideal transmission line is terminated with a load impedance of 90 ohms and has a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. Why does it's S11 response trace out a circle on the smith chart?

It's been a little bit since I have studied multi-particle quantum mechanics and I am a little rusty on the notation.
Let's say I have a wave function, that consists of the tensor product of two spaces, one for each particle moving, ##|\psi_1,\psi_2>##. Each of these particles is moving in a...
EDIT: Oops! I posted this in the wrong section! Meant to post in engineering section!
I am not sure if I am doing this problem correctly or not. It is very simple.
