Abstract :
The theoretical relationships between broadband electrical input impedance and maximum instantaneous input current are given for classes of input voltage signals with or without bandwidth limitations. A nominal resistance associated with a complex impedance is defined, and this quantity can be used in circuit analysis or design to predict maximum possible transient current. Results from several experimental measurements are presented.
