Noise occurs in various forms, including thermal noise, flicker noise, and phase noise. Voltage-controlled SAW oscillators (VCSOs) can significantly improve radar system phase-noise performance.

This tutorial demonstrates how to tie a Farmer’s Loop, a reliable midline loop knot ideal for climbing, arborist work, and outdoor activities. Step-by-step instructions and practical tips ensure a ...

A special technique produces very wide loop BWs in high-frequency PLLs (and hence, indirect (PLL) synthesizers), thereby achieving very low phase noise rivaling that of direct (MMD) synthesizers. A ...

The 8 Hz theta rhythm observed in hippocampal local field potentials of animals can be regarded as a “clock” that regulates the timing of spikes. While different interneuron sub-types synchronously ...

Abstract: The tutorial overviews the basics of digital fractional-N phase-locked-loop architectures and their design principles from the signal-processing level down to circuit design. We will examine ...

When Hackaday runs a contest, we see all manner of clever projects. But inevitably there are some we don’t see, because their builders didn’t manage to get them finished in time. [Park Frazer]’s phase ...

This is Part 1 of a three-part series. As modern wireless communications systems (mainly superheterodyne radio transceivers) are now required to deliver higher performance than ever before, they’re ...

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - There will soon be more space to bike, walk and run in Wilmington. Many people in the Wilmington area enjoy spending time outdoors. City officials are now moving forward with ...
