A brief introduction to solid-state physics, leading to discussion of physical characteristics of p-n junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors, and field-effect transistors: active, saturated, ...

As the twentieth century progressed, triode tubes came to form the technological ... Looking ahead to future applications of electronics, he grew even gloomier. He believed that “electron ...

By connecting the screen grid directly to the plate, you can operate the tube in triode mode. Low voltage gain and low output impedance characterize this mode. Figure 3 shows how the triode curves ...

The triode vacuum tube might be nearly obsolete today, but it was a technology critical to making radio practical over 100 years ago. [Kathy] has put together a video that tells the story and ...

His grid-triode was no great success as a detector, but it did eventually make modern radio and electronics possible He invented the three-electrode vacuum tube without understanding how it worked.
