The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

The radio broadcast “air chain” is rapidly evolving from a linear, hardware-defined signal path into a flexible, software-driven ecosystem.

What is an analog front-end (AFE)? Why use an AFE? AFE tradeoffs in energy-meter design. Sensors provide analog signals that need to be converted to digital values via analog-to-digital converters ...

The current state of engineers working in analog signal-path engineering. Who they are, their ages, experience, and their time in the practice. Signal-path design refers to the process of designing ...

Anyone involved in IC product sign-off that includes a mixed signal design portion knows that developing robust tests for these intricate designs has historically been a significant bottleneck, no ...

Analog and mixed-signal test remains heavily specification-based because the measurements do not always produce a single expected result. The absence of objective coverage metrics has historically ...
