Talk:T pad

Pads (L-pads, T-pads, pi-pads, et.al.) are also used for AC signals in the AF (audio) range and are not limited to RF applications. This article appears to be too narowly scoped.

"Impedance and loss section " and "Resistor values" section seem to have a circular definition.
It looks to me like :$$   \gamma_ \mathrm T ,\ $$ is used to compute R1 and R2 in the Resistor values section, but it is defined in the Impedance and loss section in terms of R1 and R2. It looks like a circular definition to me. There is probably something simple that I am failing to grasp, or maybe something that is obvious to the experts that did not get written down. Could some provide a numerical example like generating the component values for a 16dB pad that matches 100 ohms to 135 ohms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Constant314 (talk • contribs) 15:26, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Its definition is the natural log of the loss. It can be computed from the R values, or the R values can be computed from it.  This is not circular, and not a definition, just some relationships.  The relationships given appear to be limited to the case of symmetrical T pads, with equal input and output impedances, so your example can't be work with these formulae.  Some generalization would be in order... Dicklyon (talk) 02:01, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Hyphen in title?
Sources aren't consistent, but the hyphen makes no sense. How about we change it to just T pad, parallel to L pad? Dicklyon (talk) 02:13, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
