Intel Will Showcase Future Technology in Electronics and Communication at the Olympics 2018 Olympics: Intel Will Showcase Future PCB Technology in Electronics and Communication Editorial credit: lazyllama / Shutterstock.com I love watching the Olympics. It’s exciting to see the best athletes from each country test their skills against one another. The Olympics are also a forum for host countries to showcase everything that they’re capable of. In the 2018 Olympics countries aren’t the only ones who will be showing off. Intel recently announced a partnership with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that will let Read Article
How to Perform In-House Pre-Compliance Testing for Radiated Emissions How to Perform In-House Pre-Compliance Testing for Radiated Emissions Sometimes you can feel like you’re putting out good vibes, but you’re really emitting something else. The same goes for wireless circuits. You go through the design and immunity testing, then send your board off to an EMC lab only to find out your board is radiating the electronic equivalent of garlic breath. Performing in-house hardware pre-compliance testing can help you avoid a costly rejection. You’ll have to spend some money on equipment Read Article
conducted emissions test equipment Conducted Emissions Test Equipment and Noise Reduction Guidelines One of my classes in college was so difficult that the professor would give us the test questions a week in advance. Even knowing exactly what to study for the exam, lots of students still failed. Conducted emissions analysis for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is similar. Devices need to be checked to see if they’re putting too much noise back into the grid through their power supply. Otherwise, the FCC will think you’re disrupting utility Read Article
How FRAM Memory Simplifies Embedded System Data Logging How FRAM Memory Simplifies Embedded System Data Logging I’ve always found it easier to make decisions when the options were clear-cut. Choosing between black and white, right or wrong, you could make your decision and never regret it. However, decisions that involve picking black, white, or one of many shades of gray really stress me out. I was happy abiding by my binary logic until Ferromagnetic Random Access Memory ( FRAM) came on the commercial market and I was forced to embrace one of the shades Read Article
Advantages of Massive MIMO for 5G Cellular Infrastructure Massive MIMO Benefits for 5G Cellular Infrastructure Editorial credit: PureRadiancePhoto / Shutterstock.com Even though I ended up here in southern California, I was originally born in Texas. We have a saying that you probably have heard, “everything’s bigger in Texas.” That turned out to be true for me, as I’m the tallest member of my extended family. I’d like to think that the minds behind massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna arrays were also born in Texas. MIMO has been around Read Article
RS-485 The RS-485 Interface in a Wireless World RS-485 is still relevant, even if it does not use those big D-sub connectors. Read Article
IoT Storage Technologies: Ultra Low Power CBRAM IoT Storage Technologies: Ultra Low Power CBRAM Do you remember using those old floppy disks back in the day? I remember my computer had two floppy disk drives. You’d put the disk with your program in one and a disk for the data in the other. Eventually, the incredible invention that is the hard drive came about and storage space exploded. Our memory capacity is still increasing, but now the size is becoming less of a factor. When it comes to the Internet of Things (IoT) energy usage is the Read Article
Wearable Technology in the Future Will Be Seamless and Convenient What Wearable Technology In the Future Holds In Store for Us When I was younger I was a bit of a nerd, and I guess I still am. The most visible sign of my nerdiness was my fashion sense or lack of it. Tall socks, cargo shorts, and a brown Pacman hoodie that I wore in every season, except summer, made up my daily wardrobe. I was simply more interested in gizmos and gadgets than I was in looking good. I’m still more interested in fashionable electronic devices than clothes, but the line between the two is Read Article
The IoT is Developing New Technologies for Aging in Place The IoT is Developing New Technologies for Aging in Place My grandmother has lived down the street from my parents for the past 7 years. She moved down there after it became apparent she had Alzheimer’s disease and my parents realized she couldn’t live alone anymore. However, technology has allowed her to live a semi-independent life. My mother uses nanny cams to make sure my grandma is safe and happy and goes down to the house whenever grandma needs help. This arrangement has kept my grandmother out of Read Article
