Why RF Cables fails at High Frequency?

What are RF cables and where they are used? So RF cables are a type of coaxial cable that are used to send radio frequency signals to a communication system. RF cables are often used to send video information to a TV set. RF Cables are often used in domestic as well as in industrial purpose. But as we all know that RF cables fails at High Frequency. And the question arrives is ''Why''?
Let's find the answer to this question.


Magnetic field is always around the conductor and Electric field is tangential to the Magnetic field. Once we can constrain the Magnetic field into the conductor but we cannot establish Electric field inside the conductor. And because of this the Electric field decreases exponentially.


One of the reasons is the ''Skin Depth'' as shown in the figure.

As the skin depth increases the area of the cross section increases and as the skin depth decreases the area also decreases.

The greater will be the frequency the greater will be the Path Loss(PL is directly proportional to the square of the frequency) i. e; losses will increase.
And losses = I^2*R.

We have the formula for skin depth as;


And Resistance will be;

So we can clearly see here that if skin depth increases the area of cross section increases. As area of cross section increases Resistance increases and because of this losses increases. As Path loss is directly proportional to the square of the frequency, so frequency increases. And because of the increase in frequency the skin depth also increases.

And because of the increase in the area at High Frequency the RF cable burns out completely.

Stock Market using Python

 "The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient." - Warren Buffett Today we'll look into few ways for accessing the stock market. And we'll do this using Python ! Now, as we know that there are 2 stock exchange in India; BSE and NSE So we'll get the data from both! To begin with let's access the data from BSE first. (P.S: I certainly like the 2nd and the 3rd method to access stock market!) * So, to import the BSE data we need to " pip install bsedata ". => And then import the module, => Create an object to store the Driver Class => Then we need to do " getQuote('script_code')" where we need to provide a script code of a company which we need to access. Just like here we have given; => And from here we can see that the script code was for the company named "V-MART". But we can't remember all the script code hence we need to download this script file from the BSE websi...

Predicting whether the bank will give loan to its customers based on their credit score (Logistic Regression)

"The best thing about data is that it tells a story." - Naveen Jain Today let's have a look at another machine learning model know as Logistic Regression. Logistic Regression is a statistical model where the outcome is predicted as binary such as YES or NO, based on the previous/train_dataset. ( Please open the images in a new tab or try to zoom-in ) import required models read your dataframe visualize your dataset create Logistic Regression model split your data into train and test dataset fit your train dataset into the regression model predict future values visualize your predicted values Github link for pdf:  click here

Machine Learning model for predicting 'Salary' of an Employee based on 'YearsofExperience'

“ Data really powers everything that we do .” — Jeff Weiner In the 21st century, Data is one of the most valuable entity anyone can have! There is loads-and-loads of data generated everyday. And to process this huge amount of data we need people who have expertise in it, who by the way are called as Data Engineers. Data Engineer collects the raw data, process it for further use; but we need an Analytic process which will automatically predict the data based on the previous one. And here's how 'Machine Learning' comes into the picture. "Machine Learning allows us to make highly accurate predictions based on the Historical Dataset which is used to train the machine learning model." Today let us look at a similar ML model to predict the 'Salary' of Employees based on 'YearsofExperience'. (P.S: I've provided pdf link at the very bottom of this page for clear understanding) 1) import the required modules 2) read the csv file 3) plot the graph 4) us...
