  • Patent number: 11965915
    Abstract: Herein is provided a device for optimizing bandwidth during oscilloscope measurements. The device is connectable to a probe for electrically connecting a test point and an oscilloscope. The device may include at least two grounding connectors with different inductances for electrically connecting ground to the probe and a tuning network comprising circuitry configured to compensate for the different inductances of said at least two grounding connectors, the tuning network being switchable between different modes, each mode being configured to compensate for a specific inductance of said at least two grounding connectors. A method for optimizing bandwidth during oscilloscope measurements is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10182495
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a ground terminal for an electronic device. The ground terminal comprises a ground cable connecting device, an electrical switch, an electrical conductor connecting the ground cable connecting device to the electrical switch. The ground terminal and its ground cable connecting device is configured so that the electrical switch is brought in to a first mode in response to an electrical wire being connected to the ground cable connecting device, the first mode being a mode in which the switch establish electrical conduction between an electrical circuit of the electronic device and the ground cable connecting device.

  • Patent number: 9077342
    Abstract: A circuit assembly for processing an electrical signal of a microphone is provided. The microphone has an inherent impedance. The circuit assembly comprises an impedance circuit, a signal processing unit, a first electrical signal path, and a second electrical signal path. The first electrical signal path is coupleable to a first electrical output of the microphone and is furthermore coupled to a first input of the signal processing unit. The second electrical signal path is coupleable to a second electrical output of the microphone and is furthermore coupled to a second input of the signal processing unit via the impedance circuit. An impedance value of the impedance circuit is selected based on an impedance value of the inherent impedance of the microphone.

  • Patent number: 8421651
    Abstract: Apparatus and method to detect one or more keys of a mobile wireless electronic device that have received an activating input, e.g., have been pressed, interrogates simultaneously several keys of a group of keys to reduce time required to detect which of the keys is pushed to provide inputs to the electronic device. The keys are arranged in a two dimensional matrix that facilitates organized interrogation of the keys. Resistors are used in providing a decoupling effect with respect to the antenna function of the wireless electronic device.
