NB-IoT Antenna Design and Layout for Your PCB With all the possible wireless communication protocols available for use in a mobile device, it can be difficult to keep them straight. Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and LTE-M are two low-bandwidth protocols that provide remote monitoring capabilities over several miles of distance. While the data rates are quite low in both protocols, these protocols are excellent choices for lightweight embedded systems, such as small sensor arrays, industrial or Read Article Single-Ended Signal vs Differential Transmission Just about every place you look these days when you talk about high-speed PCB design, the signaling required for a product is, by default, differential signaling. But, differential signaling was not always at the forefront of product development. The original method of moving data was single-ended signaling. And, in some instances, it is still in use today. This article will describe the differences between single-ended vs differential Read Article Is it Simultaneous Switching Noise or Crosstalk? How can you distinguish simultaneous switching noise and crosstalk? Take a look at the difference between these two signal integrity problems in this article. Read Article Antenna Impedance Matching Network Circuit Simulation in Altium Designer Need to simulate an antenna impedance matching network? The SPICE tools in Altium Designer can help. Read Article Analog Signal Bandwidth and its Relation to Power Integrity Here’s how your analog signal bandwidth interacts with your PDN, and how it affects power integrity. Read Article Designing for Antenna Isolation in Your Wireless System Antenna isolation is designed to prevent interference between antennas and ensure diversity in wireless systems. Read Article Differential Pair Spacing and Crosstalk in PCB Design Differential crosstalk causing problems in your signals? Here’s how differential signals produce crosstalk and how you can ensure differential signal integrity. Read Article PCB Debugging: Tips, Tools, and Tricks There are some basic testing and PCB debugging steps you should take when your new prototype has some functionality and signal integrity problems. Read Article Switchback Routing vs. Serpentine Traces Routing for Maximum Density Choosing between switchback routing or serpentine routing means considering signal integrity and crosstalk in your board. Read Article Integrated Electronics Manufacturing and Design Collaboration Advanced devices require collaboration among multiple team members, both to ensure functionality and manufacturability. With embedded systems, this extends beyond a hardware team to include software developers. If you want your new product to be manufacturable at scale, then at some point, you will need to involve your manufacturer in the collaborative process. This is especially true with high speed digital devices and high speed analog devices Read Article What You Need to Know About GaN and SiC FETs New FETs on the block. What you need to know about high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). Read Article Getting Closer to Creating an Unlimited Power Source with Artificial Suns Graphical representation of a Tokamak fusion reactor (Image source: pixabay.com) Many of us spend a lot of time patting ourselves on the back and telling ourselves how clever we are as a species. We often hear claims that the total sum of human knowledge is doubling every ‘X’ years, where the value of ‘X’ depends on who you are talking to. The inventor and visionary Richard Buckminster Fuller originated the concept of the “Knowledge Doubling Read Article Smart Tweezers are Cunningly Clever You think you don't need smart tweezers, until you read this. The problem with engineers is that we can never have too many tools.
