Electrical engineering students rarely leave college with knowledge depth in both digital electronics and RF/microwave theory. The new engineer with digital design skills likely chose that path from a ...

Frequency response measurements are a mainstay of RF communications design and generally considered a routine task—unless one of the device ports happens to be at I-Q baseband. Here, the convenience ...

Many of today's high-speed serial designs use embedded clocks to avoid routing and timing issues involved with separate data and clock signals and to free up precious real estate on board designs.

Photonic-based instantaneous frequency measurement (IFM) of unknown microwave signals offers improved flexibility and frequency range as compared with electronic solutions. However, no photonic ...

Measuring RF power at high frequencies is tricky. What if one sensor could cover it all, cut test time, and simplify complex ...

The device is a simple, small, and cheap frequency meter with out any hard to find components to be able to measure frequencies up to 40 MHz while having below 1% errors. Most of the analog and ...

A new method for measuring distance based on an optical frequency comb has been unveiled by physicists in the Netherlands. The main benefit of the technique, which involves passing the light from an ...

Counting frequency is one of those tasks that seems simple on the face of it, but actually has quite a bit of nuance. There are two obvious methods, of which the first is to count zero crossings for ...
