To test an RF system, you need to apply a signal. The type of signal you need depends on the device and operating conditions—you may start out with clean signals in initial design phase, graduate to ...

Last month, I talked about how to get started with mBed and ARM processors using a very inexpensive development board. I wanted to revisit mBed, though, and show something with a little more substa… ...

We usually reserve the honor of Fail of the Week for one of us – someone laboring at the bench who just couldn’t get it together, or perhaps someone who came perilously close to winning… ...

How to build an arbitrary signal generator using an ADI Direct Digital Synthesis chip and a PIC uC.

Some tracking generators have a limited frequency sweep as compared with their mating spectrum analyzer, so you need to know any frequency limitations in advance. For this example, I'll use the new ...

In this hands-on tutorial, discover how to make a generator using a DC motor, transforming mechanical energy into electrical ...
