Woah, it looks like this article went from an electronic circuit "stub" article to an autobiography of a musician. I'm going to restore this page and move the musician stuff to a new page called Devin Wardlaw. --Dirkbike 20:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This bit is only vaguely related to the main subject, so I've parked it here...

== Computer network stub ==

Electrical length = (Rise time) * (Speed of light) * (Cable propagation relative to light speed)

Maximum stub length = Electrical length * (1/6)^[1]

This is relates to buses like SCSI, RS485, CAN-bus, Ethernet etc..

It would be nice to explain stubs in terms of scattering rather than impedances; delayed-echo-from-end-of-stub-interferes-with signal-on-main-line sort of thing. It's more intuitive. --catslash (talk) 11:48, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly, a short circuit stub is an anti-resonator at pi/2, that is, it behaves as a parallel resonant circuit, but again fails as 3/2 pi is approached.

shouldn't it be

...but again fails as pi is approached?

No. Consider a stub being used as a band-pass filter on a main line. At π/2 the stub presents an open-circuit, has no effect on transmission on the main line, and we are in the middle of the filter's passband. At π the stub presents a short-circuit and we are fully in the filter's stopband. At 3π/2 however, the stub is once again an open-circuit and is now letting through frequencies that are supposed to be in the stopband and hence has completely failed.

I think I got it. Thanks. I guess the difficult concept to grasp is that stubs are resonators (like a series resonant circuit; when short => minimum Z) and anti-resonators (like a parallel resonant circuit; when open => maximum Z) at the same time. The open circuit stub is said to behave like a series resonant circuit and to be open at βl =π (and integer multiples) and short at βl =π/2 (and integer multiples). On my side, I would have insisted on the double behaviour of stubs: they can resonate like a short series resonant circuit and anti-resonate like an open parallel resonant circuit. The same happens for both open circuit stubs and short circuit stubs but inversely:

open circuit stub

βl = π/2 (and integer multiples) => short series resonant circuit;

βl = π (and integer multiples) => open parallel anti-resonant circuit;

short circuit stub

βl = π/2 (and integer multiples) => open parallel anti-resonant circuit;

βl = π (and integer multiples) => short series resonant circuit;

The sections on various stubs would benifit from wiring diagrams and circuit diagrams for their equivalent impedance (LC) circuits (circuit with corresponding lumped components).150.227.15.253 (talk) 11:30, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
