Priced at only $80, the portable RF Meter is a low-cost signal-strength measurement tool for designers of RF radio systems. Two models are available to detect signals ...

The complexity with system-on-chip (SoC) design continues to grow, creating greater complexity of the corresponding design-for-test (DFT) logic required for manufacturing tests. Design teams are ...

A newly drafted IEEE standard will bring more consistency to defect metrics in analog/mixed (AMS) designs, a long-overdue step that has become too difficult to ignore in the costly heterogeneous ...

While strength is often visually represented in the form of cones, bars, or dots, it’s really calculated in the form of decibels per milliwatt, or dBm. A perfect signal is -30dBm, which you’ll ...

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 ...
