Understanding wireless across the spectrum
Waves are part of our world as both waves in the ocean and radio waves coming in from the Sun’s corona share fundamental properties.[i] Wireless communication was born from the science of waves and how they travel. After more than a hundred years of study, we’ve organized waves into a large electromagnetic spectrum (EM) that […]
RF-sampling transceivers enable multiantenna wideband systems
Texas Instruments has introduced two new RF-sampling transceivers that are the first in the industry to integrate four analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and four digital-to-analog converters (DACs) in a single chip. With the industry’s widest frequency range, highest instantaneous bandwidth and 75 percent smaller design footprint than a discrete solution, the quad-channel AFE7444 and dual-channel AFE7422 […]
Understanding single-ended and differential communication systems
Do you know the difference between single-ended and differential communication schemes? And when should you use them, which one you should use, and why? Single-ended communications set ups are meant to be used only for short runs or to provide communication between devices on the same Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Single-ended communications will reference the […]
Wireless propagation simulation software gets geometry caching upgrade
Remcom announces geometry caching and other processing optimizations in Wireless InSite 3D Wireless Prediction Software. Wireless InSite’s X3D Propagation Model automatically caches processed geometry for later use, dramatically reducing run times for all subsequent simulations. Wireless InSite will determine when a project’s geometry has not changed and will reuse the initial cached file for future X3D […]
