An AI Agent on the RF Bench: The Power Budget Is the Guardrail
At EuMW 2026, Keysight showed an AI agent driving a source, asignal analyser and a ZX60-24A-S+ amplifier through a harmonics test.The key engineering content was a written power budget: −10...
Microsoft Rallies, Chips Fall: The AI Infrastructure Divide After the US Midterms
Microsoft rallied as chip stocks fell after the US midterms. An engineering view of the divide: data-center permits, power delivery, financing and the gap between planned capacity and paying customers.
Europe Is Weak in AI Narrative. But at Embedded World, I Saw Something Different.
"FPGA & SoC. Made in Germany." No AI slogans. No hype. Just modules. At Embedded World, the Trenz Electronic booth was easy to walk past. But it was showing exactly...
