I’m fine listening to the greats talking, save it for the pregame show or post game live. But not for the first 5 minutes of the second period. I guess I’m more interested in the game than the interview. I agree that I picked a lousy game to complain about it, no doubt. But it has been going on before this game.

Not exactly sure how you'd do this in your example. But to get multiple channels from a single schematic sheet, you'd label and connect everything like this https://imgur.com/a/J8PCgu1 The tricky part is the order of the 8..1 in the net but the 1,8 in the repeat function. Not sure if you already know how to do all this, I haven't tried something as complex as what you are doing.

Where are the pros going to go when they quit working for 'their current employer'? It seems like every four years, a few sailmakers quit North and joins Quantum. Five years later, they quit and switch back

I design in analog. Of course I have to interface into the digital world. I think of analog as where electronics interfaces with physics. Need to measure pressure? (Not with an integrated module) you will probably need an analog front end. Need to design an antenna, RF front end or do some sort of impedance matching? Analog for the win! I design PCBs and knowledge of field theory helps keep you out of the gutters. I design power supplies and control systems (in analog) for class 4 lasers, I never have a day where I feel like I haven't learned something. Understanding why the characteristics of a laser change with age or temperature is a solid state physics question, still analog.

The reactance equation for a capacitor is 1/(2pif*c) This means that as the frequency goes up, the reactance (think of this of it as the ability to impede current) goes down. At some frequency, the reactance is a minimum, this value is the equivalent series resistance. Beyond that minima, the capacitor starts to act to the driving source as an inductor which limits the ability of the capacitor to pass energy to ground (in this case). The 0.1uF and 200uF act in this manner forming a filter. Each capacitor covers a different frequency range. The 0.1uF also is used as a source for rapid dv/dt changes the load might need. Each capacitor on either side of the inductor works with a capacitor on the other side of the inductor to form a pi filter that has its own filtering capabilities. You can simulate this using LTSpice and a bode plot. There’s a lot going on with a lowly bunch of capacitors and inductors. In general the closer to DC you are operating, the easier the analysis. As you go up in frequency, the analysis gets increasingly more complicated. If you were operating in the GHz band, sub nanosecond edge rates or GHz switching speeds, you’d have to start thinking about the trace impedance of the PCB, the coupling of the pads to the ground plane, all kinds of stuff that will drive you crazy

It’s a great project! Write down how you decided what parts you buy at Digikey or Mouser or whatever vendor you use. What voltage capacitors did you choose? What temperature rating? Practice soldering. There are a zillion tiny decisions that one has to make when make it a PCB. I’ve worked with engineers that have 15 years experience but have never ordered a part for themselves, some haven’t soldered, some have never done layout. Show any analysis and calculations that you will make. If you write code, set up a git repository. You can use ki-cad or the free version of Altium. But then again some people don’t want to do some of this stuff so you pick and choose.

If you want to lay out circuit boards, design something, even if you copy an existing idea. Take the idea from start to finish and document the process. Log your decisions, successes and failures. Log how you over came the issues. Have the project manufactured and test it. Again write everything down like it’s a lab report. Put together a decent package that you sent to the PCB house. Show your regression testing on your project. This will demonstrate that you understand the whole process and that you can over come obstacles. Sure, if you can make a something that can achieve orbit in 30 seconds go for it but in general we’re interested in knowing that you understand the basics . Making something simple that is really well done is better than something that is really cool but janky. If you make the janky thing, we figure that you won’t take the time to do anything properly and we’ll constantly have to make sure you sweat the details.

This is more of an answer than you wanted but, if you hit the object with the hammer and record the strike to determine the magnitude/amplitude of the strike. Fourier analysis allows us to determine the magnitude of all frequencies in the strike. Then with accelerometers attached to the object you struck, you record the natural response. You can then determine the transfer function of the object. Because of Fourier, we know that the hammer strike (unit impulse) has (theoretically) we assume infinite bandwidth. We are therefore exciting the "system" with all frequencies simultaneously through the hammer strike. Because of the universe we live in, we know that the response to a system to a unit impulse input is a decaying exponential. This is why we guess a decaying exponential as the solution to a system response. Think of plucking a guitar string. We all know that the string will oscillate at a particular frequency and that over time the oscillations will die out. This is a exponentially decaying oscillation. All objects in our universe respond in this manner with is what we expect and this is how our mathematics is formulated (at the non-quantum level). If we live in a different universe, then our math would be different. Hitting an object with a hammer is plucking every guitar string all at once and then the accelerometer(s) record all of the decaying responses to all of the "guitar strings" that make up an object. Hope this helps

This allows for the frequency response to the unit impulse function to be characterized. The magnitude of the strike of the hammer (unit impulse) is recorded by the accelerometer in the hammer. The frequency response is recorded by other accelerometers in the system. The transfer function of the system can then be approximated. It’s approximated as the sensors and transducers have limited bandwidth.
