Design Guides

Since there is no unique solution for a particular RF applications, some guidelines are needed. This article looks at some such guidelines. An antenna transmits and receives electromagnetic (EM) radiation in free...

Companies are trying to maintain their competitive edge by adding more functionality to their products. This is making systems that were previously relatively simple more complex and difficult to design. Designers...

With full duplex realisation, a single antenna could be shared between the transmitter and the receiver. 5G standards are currently being laid out. It is estimated that 5G paradigm will be realised...

Location based services are rapidly emerging in the modern era where users are provided with various application softwares to comply their requirements. Applications such as Google Maps, Cab Service, Food delivery...

This article discusses what to expect from next-level field programmable gate arrays. Architectures of different field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) differ from vendor to vendor. Some vendors are Silego, Lattice Semiconductor, Xilinx,...

Various automation processes in the industry need control of AC induction motors using AC drives. Presented here is a robust system for switching on/off, varying the speed and direction of rotation...

Rigid-flex circuits combine the best of both—rigid boards and flexible circuits—integrated together into one circuit. Reliability is important for electronic devices. Hence, a substantial number of electronics’ manufacturers focus on the reputation...

Power dissipation is a concern while designing high-performance systems. Clock gating technique can be used to reduce power. The Internet of Things (IoT) connects smartphones, desktop systems, smart sensors, smart automobiles, and...

Sometimes, after rains, the air feels moist. The water seems to have suspended in the air. However, in certain AC’s you click some buttons and the atmosphere brightens up. How and...

We come across LCD displays everywhere around us. Computers, calculators, television sets, mobile phones, digital watches use some kind of display to display the time. An LCD is an electronic display...
