A manufacturer of III-V photonic devices claims to have proven the feasibility of 60-GHz radio over fiber (ROF) transmission at a 1,270-nm wavelength, paving the way to potential solutions for 5G networks. The company says that radio over fiber networks are emerging as a completely new and promising communication paradigm for delivering broadband wireless access services.

MediaTek is working with Microsoft to deliver this year the first Azure Sphere chip, the MT3620 that the partners expect to drive IoT innovation with built-in security and connectivity. Azure Sphere is designed for highly secured, connected MCU-powered devices at a price that the companies expect will make enterprise-class security affordable for an array of cloud-connected gadgets.
In this webinar, we feature the design and development of a field oriented control for a permanent magnet synchronous motor using NXP MagniV microcontroller. The workflow will guide you through model simulation using SIL/PIL models.

This white paper introduces the Quicksilver evaluation kit which caters to a diverse array of IoT applications, ranging from home appliances to smart buildings to energy meters. Powered by a Cypress SoC solution, the kit combines IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless connectivity with an embedded applications processor.
Amplification of sub-picoamp signal currents is always a design challenge, especially when gain adjustment is required that spans multiple decades. A straightforward approach to the design task would normally involve potentiometers and teraohm feedback resistors, which are neither easily miniaturized nor temperature stable.

With all the buzz about how the output spectrum of LED lighting can be varied for applications like street lighting, human-centric lighting, and horticultural lighting, the question occurs: how is the spectrum determined anyway? With a nifty little device called a spectroradiometer.

When upgrading your hardware platform to a newer and more powerful CPU with more, faster cores, you expect the application to run faster. In many cases, however this is not the case. In this paper, we examine what causes these performance issues.
In this webinar you will learn about STMicroelectronics' complete software solution for its range of Bluetooth® Low Energy radio transceivers. BlueNRG-Mesh software enables them to form a mesh network.
The smart connectivity of buildings should be central to transformation: but the reality is something else. While the ‘digital building’ has been a multi-heralded concept for some time, implementation is more problematic. This White Paper discusses the challenges and advantages of the digital building and how a major industry initiative is helping with the convergence of disparate control systems to enable the concept.
Around five years ago, everyone was talking about IoT and how it was going to change everything as we connect billions of devices. We seem to go through cycles where a technology gets hyped so much and that’s what we seem to be going through right now with AI (artificial intelligence).
While researching Try These Low-Cost Oscilloscopes, Suggest Others, I came across the €299 (about US$366) Ikascope from French company Ikalogic. Curious to see how well it works, I contacted the company and received a review unit. The Ikascope connects over Wi-Fi to a Windows or Linux computer or to iOS and Android phones and tablets.

Ted Haeger and Eldon Greenwood from Control4 really should take their show on the road. On Day 3 of “A Designers’ Guide to the Connected Home,” — a three-day, three-hour EETimes University course — they went at it for almost an hour, discussing the ins and outs of what it takes to really make a home smart.
With a focus on maximizing efficacy, presenters from Lumileds and Arrow will describe the key attributes and system-level benefits of a new LED emitter that offers breakthrough performance to exceed the DesignLights Consortium’s DLC Premium requirements.
The writer observes that decibels are “found everywhere, including power levels, voltages, reflection coefficients, noise figures, field strengths and more,” and yet even seasoned engineers can be left scratching their heads when using decibels in their calculations.
Whether you’re an experienced schematics designer or a beginner, printed-circuit-board design and layout may be new to you. This course gets you started, detailing the process as well as sharing valuable manufacturing insider knowledge. Even if you’re an old hand, this 45-minute course will help you avoid common pitfalls and create better designs.
