Generating Sine wave is very demanded job in power electronics field. So do to me too. I read some topics over the internet and found many ways to generate a sine wave. As most of you are really interested in generating sine wave so I’m writing today about it here.
There is some different ways...
Find bellow an Android TCP client extension
that implements a very simple socket; note that its operation is performed 'one-shot', which means that only one command is sent ( and its respective response, read ) at a time, and then the socket connection is closed. So, be aware that it is not a...
The role of impedance transformer is crucial in RF microwave input/output impedance matching and antenna feed network design. Impedance transformer are primarily used as bridging network between two component with different input impedances. Quarter-wave impedance transformer or λ/4...
SIW technology is essentially a hybrid of microstrip and dielectric-filled waveguide (DFW) technologies. Starting with a PCB substrate, top and bottom metal layers provide two of the waveguide walls. Then, two parallel rows of vias are added, forming the side walls of the waveguide. Figure 1...
Microstrip Array Antenna and it’s Application
The antenna plays a very important role in determining the overall system performance of airborne as well as space borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. The basic driving force for frequency and polarization selection of an SAR system...
Signal integrity (SI) addresses two key aspects in high-speed digital designs: signal timing and quality. SI analysis aims to ensure signals reach their destination in good condition. In a system, signals travel through various kinds of interconnections (e.g., from chip to package, package to RF...
Fifth generation (5G) wireless communication is next major phase of mobile communications standards beyond the current LTE-Advanced. In order to meet 5G faster speed (1-10 Gbps), millimeter wave frequency band has been recommended for 5G wireless communication. Ka band has been targeted for...
Microstrip Array Antenna and it’s Application

Assuming that you are familiar with the fundamental specifications of an ADC and what they mean, the next step is to know your entire signal chain well and then work to fit the ADC to the requirements. After carefully determining signal chain requirements, then select your ADC with the...
Nodemcu is a great WiFi chip, that can be used in several wireless applications.
In this blog post, an Application running on Android Phone will get the temperature and humidity values from the Nodemcu and it will also control the 4 Relays, which are connected to the Nodemcu, all over WiFi...

Besides the advantage of higher performance in performing calculations and faster data transfers, what are the advantages of working with an MCU that has a larger bus width?
MCUs with higher data bus widths enjoy higher performance in terms of faster operations, often...

Instrumentation amplifiers (INAs) are precision devices, but they have a particular function and aren’t another type of operational amplifier (op amp). Instrumentation amplifiers are not op amps; you can’t configure them in a multitude of ways, and you only set gain to a chosen...

Ceramics comprise the most widely used non-polarized dielectrics. The reason is they offer attractive combinations of volumetric efficiency, manufacturability, and cost. Some applications -- such as high-frequency RF signal chains and high-precision measurement circuits...

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can create serious issues for manufacturers in an industrial environment. A buck converter generates a pulsating ripple current with high di/dt at the input. Without input capacitors, ripple current is supplied by the upper power source...
Lot of people who start with HFSS have issues in making the complicated geometry in HFSS. Here are very simple steps which anyone can follow to make a 3D structure in HFSS
Just take example of this cavity with attached beam pipes
Step 1 Draw this 3D structure on paper as 2D line Diagram...

While I was home this winter, I saw that the remote for our TV tuner was damaged physically, causing the buttons to not function responsively. Some of them just didn't work. I saw this as an opportunity for a fun couple days' project to build a new remote controller for the tuner.
The TV...
The Intel Edison test board, along with the USB mouse
I have recently been using the Intel Edison for the Cornell robotics project team (which co-hosts the Intel-Cornell Cup USA competition). Building on my previous knowledge of embedded systems, I started learning to use and program on...
Hi friends !
After a long time a came back again ! 8-)
I want to share you some simple literature ( my own handwriting ) about control systems and oscillators but believe me i tried to make it as simple as i think simpler than this is impossible !
Ready ?
Here i share you 16...

This is a method for calculating the Tin/Lead content in any solder containing mainly those two metals. The method uses only a scale to precisely determine the density of the solder and from there knowing the density of the Tin and Lead, to calculate the Tin/Lead ratio.
As you know the best...

Introduction to I/Q signal
As mentioned above, for SSB modulation, in reality, there will be at least three tones in the spectrum.
One is signal(i.e. desired sideband), another is undesired...
I/Q Imbalance
As mentioned above, for SSB modulation, there should be only one desired sideband in the spectrum in theory.
Nevertheless, in reality, there will be at least three tones in the spectrum.
As shown below, one of the three tones is undesired sideband, so-called image ...
Single Sideband Modulation
Conventional double sideband(DSB) modulation can be considered wasteful of power and bandwidth because they contain a carrier signal and two identical sidebands.
Conversely, single sideband(SSB) modulation, as the name implies, uses only one sideband to provide...
We can also analyze it in terms of E/H fields .
As illustrated above, both microstrip line and stripline radiate E-field outside.
Thus, we need ground plane to absorb their E fields.
And larger the ground plane,
lower the ground impedance, more the E-fields that ground plane...
According to my previous experience,
wideband matching from 700 MHz to 2700 MHz (GSM/WCDMA/LTE) can be achieved by mere 3 components.
If the frequency range is 2.4, 2.1, 1.8, 1.6, 0.9 GHz,
and you have 5 components,
just do the wideband matching from 0.9 GHz to 2.4 GHz
To start...
For a Direct-conversion(Zero-IF) receiver, RF signal down converts to BaseBand signal near 0 Hz directly.
Let’s assume there are 2 tones , f1 is interference, f2 is signal, and their frequency are close, i.e. f1 = f2.
If LNA IIP2 is not good enough, f1 and f2 will compose IMD2...
