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.

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.

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

[SandeepKumar-jjzi]

Nice demonstration of even and odd order harmonics.

[yakovdavidovich]

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

Hello! i think, i have this problem in car audio system, Sound quality is different, and bass, sometimes is weird, sometimes is empty, in warm temperature sometimes its play much better (loud bass and quality (Soft)). So, finnaly how to fix that? i have all componets good, all conections itp. but still its not play good. Thanks.

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

[apexmcboob]

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

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

[sergioantoniogomesdossanto]

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

[like_cabezon]

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

[gainednevadastab]

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

[omsingharjit]

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

[royrogers]

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

[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?

[genghizalseitov]

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