This paper covers design choices of the world’s first K-band data converter. By avoiding established CMOS design principles and applying an ultra-high speed process, new capabilities emerged; a compact, single-core quantizer and design expertise led to breakthrough performance and layout and circuit simplifications are dominant design considerations.

In 2015 Entegra Solutions were contacted by Thales Air Traffic Management looking for the highest dynamic range, wide bandwidth data acquisiion card available. Their objective was to build a passive radar using beamforming techniquest to receive reflections of DVB-T Tv signals from aircraft to replace traditional airfield radars.

In a perfect world, systems would never fail. Unfortunately, this is not reality—at least not yet. Systems fail and sudden, unexpected failures can be costly. Although you cannot completely remove the risk of failure, even with the most well-thought-out plans, you can reduce it. Ensure you have a maintenance strategy that can help you manage cost if something does go wrong and reduce the risk of failure.

Bundles of electrical cables in vehicles, aircraft, ships and buildings pose electromagnetic compatibility and interference challenges to the electrical design engineer. Due to their lengths, they are more likely to radiate or pick up irradiation than many other electrical components and systems. This white paper will discuss how these challenges can be met with the aid of electromagnetic simulation.

This paper examines the current state of LTE networks and the ways it could evolve to deliver a gigabit-per-second user experience. To accomplish this, the ecosystem will need to deliver 100x data throughput improvement. As a premier provider of RF front-end solutions, Skyworks believes we have the capability to enable this evolution using tools and techniques provided in the LTE specification leading up to the release of 5G. Additionally, this paper explores the impact of new 5G services from the mobile and fixed wireless perspective.

Next-generation systems will always be expected to be smaller, lighter and faster. But engineers also face the challenges of full ntegration. Previously spec’d oversized, heavy, and slow interconnect solutions inside increasingly higher-density systems wreak havoc. So the need for robust, miniaturized high-speed interconnect solutions has never been greater.

This new article from CEL “Alphabet Soup: Understanding IoT Acronyms and How to Compare Them” will help product managers and IoT design engineers understand the complex maze of communication standards and protocols used in Internet of Things solutions. New ideas and protocols are appearing at a rapidly and some companies are pushing technologies that are not yet ready for prime time.
