This is way out of my field but I'll give it a shot. Just don't expect me to be an expert by the end of it. Wugapodes (talk) 23:30, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Wow that was intense. I understood more than I thought I would, but that's still not a lot. Because of my lack of knowledge, and lack of access to the sources, I'm going to trust that they say what is referenced.

Comments

[edit]
  1. "Synchronous tuning" shouldn't be bolded unless the article is about it, which I don't think it is. A wikilink would be great.
  2. The amplifier is synchronously tuned if all the Ck and Lk are equal. In staggered tuning, the Ck and Lk are generally different in each stage. Each equal to their respective letter? So, all Ck are equal to each other, and all, Lk are equal to each other, must Ck equal Lk? And for the second statement, must a Ck be equal or different (or does it not matter?) to its respective Lk? Must each Ck and Lk be different than every other Ck and Lk? I guess clarify that statement as it can be interpreted many different ways and I don't know the correct answer.
  3. In the A0 := A(w0) equation, should that colon be there?
(Optional) The first graph showing synchronous tuning bandwidth response, I feel, would be more informative if contrasted with the bandwidth and gain effects graph of staggered tuning that's shown a little further down. At least as a layman, the two together would be a nice way to show, visually, how the two differ.

"Synchronous tuning" is bolded per MOS:BOLD because that title redirects here. In the process of making the comparison between the two schemes in this article it has already been fully explained what it is. It could possibly be made its own article by someone, but I have nothing further to write about the subject.

Didn't realize it redirected here. That makes sense then.Wugapodes (talk) 18:04, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On the Ck and Lk, I will try and make that clearer. It is that if all Ck are equal to each other and all Lk are equal to each other, then it is synchronous tuning. The converse is not true however; one cannot say that for synchronous tuning they must be equal.

The present wording is much clearer. Wugapodes (talk) 18:04, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The symbol := means "is defined as" rather than "is equal to". See List of mathematical symbols#Equality, equivalence and similarity.

Sounds good. Like I said, not my field so I'm not familiar with the symbols, but thank you for the link!Wugapodes (talk) 18:04, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the existing diagrams could be combined successfully, the result would be too busy. I'll look at possibly producing a new diagram but with fewer variables. SpinningSpark 14:22, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The new graphic is great, and I think really helps illustrate the comparison. You really did a great job on this article, including the illustrations. Wugapodes (talk) 18:04, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On Hold for 7 days. It's really close. Just address those few things and you're golden (well, green I guess). Wugapodes (talk) 00:14, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Passed A very informative article. As a layman, I found it educating and with enough information that I could at least understand what the topic was. From the level of detail it went into and the caliber of the sources, I would even venture to say that an expert would not find it too lacking. That being said, I would strongly recommend an expert in the field do a round of review to speak to the comprehensiveness of the article before seeking featured article grading. Congratulations on such a good article. Wugapodes (talk) 18:04, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
