On The Radio: RF Design In The ISM Band
Mastering the groundswell of radio waves The intangible and the invisible electromagnetic spectrum of which radio frequency is a relatively small part is as valuable a natural resource like any other and one which commands our constant attention. From Hertz to Marconi to today’s RF engineers, microwave electronics basics may not have changed dramatically but […]
Choosing the right MEMS microphone interface for your project
by Bruce Rose, CUI Inc. Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) microphones have been steadily increasing their market share, driven by the surge in popularity of voice-controlled electronics with applications like voice-enabled navigation devices and digital home assistants. But what are the different types of MEMS microphone electrical interfaces available and how do you apply them to your […]
Sockets handle 25-pin BGA packages little loss, minimal increase in PCB
A new high-performance socket handles 0.4-mm-pitch BGA 25-pin devices. The CG-BGA-5030 socket is designed for the 2.125×2.225-mm package size and operates at a bandwidth up to 30 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The socket is designed with an easy open clamshell lid with an integrated compression mechanism. The contact resistance is […]

Filters, Part 1: Analog, switched, and digital filters
Filters are essential functions in most circuits and systems; as frequencies extend into the multi-GHz range, surface acoustic wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters are needed to meet the design objectives. An engineer I worked with (and whose name I have forgotten) once remarked to about electronic filters (and he was serious): “like […]

Image gallery: Smart, small, and integrated at electronica 2018
Over 80,000 attendees from 80 countries spent four days at electronica 2018 in Munich last month combing 17 halls, 182K square meters of exhibition space, and meeting with as many of the 3,100 exhibitors as possible. The driving force for many of the new products introduced at the trade fair was, again, the need to […]
