If you came of age in the 1990s, you’ll remember the unmistakable auditory handshake of an analog modem negotiating its connection via the plain old telephone system. That cacophony of screeches and ...

The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

It’s based on a paper by Alan Jurison, who chairs the IBOC Standards Development Working Group of the National Radio Systems Committee; Jeff Baird, principal engineer at Xperi; and Mike Raide, senior ...

Lately, many electronics observers rave over massive digital chips, and for a good reason. Incredible things happen when billions of tiny transistors, each a few nanometers wide, work together. These ...

What is analog computing and how is it used? What is digital computing and how is it used? Why both methods provide promising results, depending on the application. The unveiling of intelligent ...

Advanced chip design is becoming a great equalizer for analog and digital at each new node. Analog IP has more digital circuitry, and digital designs are more susceptible to kinds of noise and signal ...

The proposed “AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act” in the United States should look to the future and mandate DRM reception, with a timetable for sunsetting non-DRM transmissions. Allow me to explain why I ...

How analog signal engineering is performed, in broad strokes. What are the component-selection considerations for new designs? What are VFAs and how are they used? Analog signal engineers specialize ...
