Distortion and Nonlinearity Basics

Join Gregory in this enlightening video, where he demystifies the origins of distortion in non-linear circuits-a fundamental exploration for those seeking to grasp the essence of amplifier distortion.
Using specialized equipment, Gregory unveils the impact of symmetrical and non-symmetrical distortion on odd and even harmonics within the circuit, employing the clarity of spectral analysis. The non-linear transfer function takes shape through an XY plot, offering a visual narrative that simplifies the complexities of distortion.
Concluding with a focus on the time-domain, Gregory sheds light on the behavior of odd and even harmonics, providing a concise yet comprehensive understanding of their interplay.
Whether you're a seasoned audio enthusiast or a curious mind, this video is a brief yet insightful journey into the intricacies of audio electronics. Tune in for a streamlined exploration of amplifier distortion with Gregory as your guide.

All Electronics is now All RF Channel. Nice job, Greg.

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

Thanks man!

[@alexlefevre3555]

The XY distortion and the integer harmonic display all in one with the sinuous fundamental really made this make sense to me brother. Thanks so much.

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

Nice man!!!

[@manuelminutello3027]

man... never have i ever pressed the subscribe button so fast! perfect mix of complexity and simplicity, just incredible!!!!!

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

Thank you!! Welcome to the channel

[@SandeepKumar-jj7zi]

Nice demonstration of even and odd order harmonics.

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

Nice!!

[@yakovdavidovich7943]

That's very cool... reminiscent of parity in number theory. You're connecting puzzle pieces in my brain, Gregory. Thanks for your excellent channel!

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

Thank you!

[@michaeljordan494]

Your video ais really good and helps me to understand the concept taught in class very clearly. Do more videos

[@apexmcboob5161]

That explains things in a very easy to grasp way. Thank-you, I just subscribed.

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

Thank you!

[@mariand82]

Really nice

Hi Gregory! Did you close the brazilian channel? I liked him! Congrats! 🙂

[@like_cabezon3810]

what a good job man, now this should be clear crystal to everyone pd: How it´s going the bpsk trasceiver?

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

Thank you! Man, I'm the king of unfinished projects 😅 When we return to the bpsk we need to redesign it from scratch I think.

[@sergioantoniogomesdossanto7857]

Muito bom..parabéns..mas coloque os valores dos componentes..inclusive os indutores..muito obrigado

[@gainednevadastab9439]

Very nice project. Do you know if you could post the schematics and build info for the GPSDO project, looking to possibly make / replicate it. Thanks

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

Thank you! I didn't finish the gpsdo yet. I have a video on the channel showing the schematics of the ovenized oscillator

[@omsingharjit]

how waveform compression can multiply frequency ..!! i have to watch it many times to understand

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

Be welcome!! Haha

[@omsingharjit]

@@AllElectronicsChannel why you laugh 😀

[@royrogers7644]

How about playing some music and listen to what more or less 2nd or 3rd harmonic distortion will sound like?

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

🤩🤩🤩

[@genghizalseitov3807]

Hi, when you will post power meter circuit and arduino code?

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

When we get it working 😄

[@genghizalseitov3807]

@@AllElectronicsChannel thanks waiting of end project.

[@xXxbastek]

TRANSFER FUNCTION it's not an proprietor term for this XY plot!? Is it transfer curve or characteristic curve? Is it transfer function term reserved for dynamics of linear systems?

[@AllElectronicsChannel]

Transfer function is also a correct term, more used by mathematicians

[@xXxbastek]

@@AllElectronicsChannel yes, but this dynamic system not a math lecture. The transfer function it is the result of division of the Laplace transform of the input, to the Laplace transform of the output. Used in different context hurts my brain.
