FW: Capacitor Failure Analysis

I have generally seen that if you go by the Ecap data sheet say: 2000hrs @ 105 degrees C. T Then if you are running at an Ecap case temp of say 65 degrees C; the MTBF works out to be about 32000hrs; if the case temp is 75 deg C, the MTBF is 16000hrs and so on. MTBF generally applies to 50% of

Mark, In context with the boresighting issues, I think that you are probably referring to the hemispherical arc (with a rotating centre table), which is generally used to model ship borne HF antennae. The other technique could be to boresight the antenna (with a pneumatic cylinder) once the

It's more typical to provide an operating voltage range for your product, and let the customer decide if he is happy with what he expects for brown-out voltage. From a manufacturer's standpoint, it is good to find out what the actual operating characteristics of your product are, for example
