RF Tx/Rx theory is highly complex and years of independent study are needed to achieve mastery of all the details of how electromagnetic variables can affect different application scenarios. RF Tx/Rx refers to the technical theory underpinning transmission and reception of RF (radio frequency) signals. The RF spectrum includes electromagnetic framework frequencies ranging from 30Hz […]

Python is highly portable programming language that can run on various software and hardware platforms. Programs written in Python do not need to be compiled into binary code in advance; they can be executed directly from the source code and this greatly simplifies development, accelerating time to market. In addition, Python has extensive and powerful […]

Real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning is a technique designed to counteract signal errors in global navigation satellite system (GNSS) calculations and that enables far greater accuracy as a result. It utilizes a nearby reference station with known coordinates or a network of reference stations, also known as NRTK, to provide correction data in real-time via a […]

Changing habits in power generation and consumption are making power grids in some markets unstable, with brownouts, supply interruptions and even blackouts increasing in frequency. Much of the instability is caused by shifting user habits as workers remain at home, the adoption of renewable generation technologies which is seeing homeowners generating solar or wind energy […]

With 5G still not deployed in many markets across the globe and coverage far from complete in countries that have deployed the technology, it may seem premature to be considering 6G. However, some technologies need to be prepared in advance of reaching deployment, and antennas for the 6G market are no exception.  Today, we’re at […]

The package of capabilities that 5G connectivity offers brings together speed of more than 1Gbps, sub-1ms latency and unprecedented device density per cell. Combined, these make the technology seem like a complete no-brainer for designers and developers. As they specify cellular connectivity for the next generation of IoT and other devices, it’s understandable that the […]

Connecting the unconnected has long been a goal for governments across the globe and substantial initiatives are now established that are bringing internet connections to remote locations in developed markets and previously unconnected territories in the developing world. Critically, this connectivity must be offered at a cost that users can afford and this places constraints […]

The application of edge computing in IoT enables data insights to be created quickly, cost-effectively and locally, thereby removing the delay and expense caused by communicating all data. Success in IoT stems from collecting information and then being able to act upon it to improve performance, enhance efficiency or cut costs. A lot relies on […]

What is an IoT module? An IoT module is the essential enabler of the Internet connection that makes up the ‘I’ in IoT. IoT modules are compact computing components that are embedded into devices to enable wireless communication between a device and the network. IoT modules are just one of many components that are placed […]
