Hardware Design for Edge Computing vs. Cloud Computing Hardware Design for Edge Computing vs. Cloud Computing The next great developments in IoT products are in edge computing. The term “cloud computing” is now a regular piece of technical vocabulary, and for some time it was viewed as the solution to every data-intensive computing problem. While cloud computing certainly gives many developers a simple way to create value and scale quickly, edge computing is quickly becoming a viable alternative to deploying software applications on the cloud. In fact Read Article
Tricks of the Trade: Signal Integrity Devices Tricks of the Trade: Signal Integrity Devices As with any job, Signal Integrity engineers use niche tools. SI tools are often thought of as S-parameter viewers, 3D EM solvers, or measurement equipment. These tools have one thing in common: analysis. What about the devices that SI engineers deploy to make their lives easier? In this article, I’ll discuss three devices to save time and money: multiport test cables, RF switches, and the old RC filter. Multi-port RF Cable Assemblies Today’s high Read Article
Say Hello to the First Space Tow Truck Say Hello to the First Space Tow Truck Artist's impression of MEV-1 (silver) attached to communications satellite (copper) (Image source: Northrop Grumman) Things are moving quickly in space these days (no pun intended). I like to think that I keep my ear to the ground, but I was surprised to discover that Northrop Grumman's Mission Extension Vehicle-1 (MEV-1), whose mission is to essentially act as a space tow truck, successfully launched a week ago. Riding on top of a Russian Proton Read Article
Building the Right Team for Electronics Design: A Deeper Investigation Building the Right Team for Electronics Design: A Deeper Investigation In Building the Right Team for Electronics Design: An Introduction we discussed the concept of creating a diverse team of people with a diverse set of skills. In today’s market, it is virtually impossible to build a team of homogenous engineers who can deliver from start to finish. Each engineer, possessing unique skill sets, contributes to the sum of parts within the design lifecycle. In this article, we will dive more deeply into the different Read Article
