RF & Wireless technology, Tools and Instruments
The term “software-defined radio” (SDR) describes a technology in which the functions of a radio system’s hardware components are instead defined by software. SDR systems are therefore more flexible than traditional radio systems, which are defined by hardware components with fixed functions. Take a look at what SDR is, how it works, what are the components of SDR and what its applications are. [Read more…] about What are the components of Software Defined Radio and its Applications

In addition, wireless technology has also made it possible for devices to communicate with each other without the need for wires. The following are some of the top wireless technology trends in the year 2022. [Read more…] about Top Wireless Technology Trends in 2022
The internet of things (IoT) is the system of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, enabling these physical objects to collect and exchange data. Find out what is narrowband IoT and the use cases of narrowband IoT. [Read more…] about What is Narrowband IoT and use cases
Printed circuit boards, or PCBs, are made from a variety of materials, the most common of which is fiberglass. The fiberglass is mixed with an epoxy resin and then layered with a copper foil. The foil is then etched away to create the desired circuit pattern. Find out different types of PCB materials for Radio Frequency applications. [Read more…] about PCB Materials used for Radio Frequency Applications
Network analyzers are electronic instruments used to measure the characteristics of electrical networks, such as impedance, AC voltage and current, and distortion. RF network analyzers can be used for a variety of applications, such as characterizing filters, amplifiers, and impedance matching networks; measuring noise figure and gain; and troubleshooting RF circuits. Find out some basics of Vector Network Analyzer. [Read more…] about Vector Network Analyzer Basics
