World’s Fastest Real-Time Spectrum Analysis? Aaronia’s RF Beast at Ham Radio 2025
A deep dive into Aaronia’s triple-screen RTSA demo at Ham Radio 2025 — showcasing 3.2 THz/s sweep speed, AI signal classification, and field-ready spectrum analysis.
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...
Rohde & Schwarz ZNA at 67 GHz: When 16 Traces Tell You Everything — Except What You Need to Know
Sixteen traces. Four Smith charts. Full S-parameter matrix from 10 MHz to 67 GHz. The R&S ZNA screen at the microwave show looked like everything you'd need. Here's what it...
Mini-Circuits + VDI + Erickson PM5B at EuMW 2025: The 115 GHz Demo Nobody Stopped For — and Why It Mattered Most
The display read 15.306. No robotic arm. No giant screen. Just a Mini-Circuits synthesizer at 9583.333333 MHz × 12 = 115 GHz, a VDI multiplier, and an Erickson PM5B with...
