Delay Lines

Inductors, coils, and transformers are all types of electronic components that are based on the principles of electromagnetic induction. These components are used in a wide range of electrical and electronic circuits for a variety of purposes. Inductors are passive electronic components that consist of a coil of wire. They are used to store energy in the form of a magnetic field, and to oppose changes in the current flowing through them. This property is known as inductance, and is measured in units of henries. Inductors are commonly used in circuits to filter out high-frequency signals, or to provide electromagnetic shielding. Coils are similar to inductors, but are typically used to refer to a coil of wire that is used as an electromagnet, or as part of a transformer. Transformers are electronic components that use the principles of electromagnetic induction to convert AC electrical power from one voltage level to another. This is done by passing the AC power through a primary winding of wire, which creates a varying magnetic field. This field then induces a voltage in a secondary winding of wire, which can be used to power another circuit. Transformers are commonly used in power distribution systems to step voltage levels up or down as needed. Delay lines are electronic circuits that are used to introduce a delay in a signal. This can be useful in many applications, such as in communication systems where it is necessary to synchronize different signals, or in audio and video systems where it is necessary to match the timing of different signals. Delay lines can be implemented using a variety of technologies, such as mechanical, acoustic, or electrical.
