In this article, we'll perform a worst-case analysis in LTspice, using a resistive circuit for a temperature sensor reading as an example.
October 29, 2020 by Ignacio de Mendizábal
In this article, we use LTspice to analyze the precision of a current-pump circuit when all resistors are non-ideal and temperature is varied across the automotive temperature range.

This article is the second in a two-part series that reviews the basics of electromagnetic compatibility tests. We'll now turn our attention to radiated EMC tests.
October 13, 2020 by Ignacio de Mendizábal
This article provides an example of how we can use t-testing to determine if an experiment has produced a statistically significant change in system performance.
October 12, 2020 by Robert Keim
This article is the first in a two-part series that reviews the basics of electromagnetic compatibility tests. First, we'll focus on a main category of EMC tests—conducted EMC—and the relevant test setup.

This article introduces a statistical distribution used in significance testing. We’ll discuss its importance and its relation with the normal distribution.
October 05, 2020 by Robert Keim
What exactly do scientists and researchers mean when they state that something is or is not statistically significant? How do we establish statistical significance, and how do we interpret it?
October 02, 2020 by Robert Keim
While most electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests are conducted in specialized laboratories, electrical engineers can still benefit from knowing the basics of EMC testing.
October 01, 2020 by Ignacio de Mendizábal
The Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients are standard techniques for inferring causation by calculating the strength of a linear or monotonic relationship between two variables.
September 30, 2020 by Robert Keim
This article introduces important subcategories of inferential statistical tests and discusses descriptive statistical measures related to the normal distribution.
