New National Instruments Hardware and Software Provide Dramatic Advances from Baseband to RF Engineers and scientists now can generate RF and baseband signals more than 300 times faster with the new ...

In Part 3 of RF Fundamentals, we will focus on the challenges related to the need to generate and demodulate analog and digitally modulated signals in the RF signal chain. We’ll review CW signal ...

Despite the need for an IC, this ubiquitous interface between the modulator and audio-video signals has not been reduced to an integrated circuit. The major reasons for that deficiency are the ...

Direct modulation of a laser 1 has always been used in optical telecommunications. Although distance–capacity product capabilities using this approach have been limited, it represents a very ...

Modern oscilloscopes capture, view, measure, and analyze complex RF signals in the time, frequency, and modulation domains. Time-domain analysis, the original oscilloscope function, allows users to ...

Tektronix has rolled out the RTX130A, an integrated MPEG and RF signal generator offering both unmodulated and RF modulated playout of MPEG transport streams, supporting both cable (QAM A, B & C) and ...

As the number of higher-throughput applications grows, so does the need for wider bandwidth and network coverage in wireless systems. Given limited spectrum allocation, wireless communication ...

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts searching for a way to use their Raspberry Pi mini PC with an old school retro TV, may be interested in the Raspberry Pi Zero RF Modulator HAT. Using old now-defunct TVs and ...

[Stephen] recently wrote in to share his experiments with using the LimeSDR mini to conduct a bit of piracy on the airwaves, and though we can’t immediately think of a legitimate application for ...

Most of us know that to get the best possible WiFi signal, you want there to be as few walls as possible between you and the Access Point. But that might soon change, as researchers at MIT have found ...

After a long break, Anritsu is returning as an exhibitor to embedded world. Enrico Brinciotti, Anritsu, explains why for Anritsu the event has become a key meeting point for the embedded community, ...
