Fully integrated RF and microwave modules faciliate rapid prototyping
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today introduced four high performance RF and microwave standard modules that extend and strengthen its standard module product portfolio. The new modules complement ADI’s existing product offerings by delivering easy-to-use, fully integrated, hermetically sealed solutions that dramatically shorten the proof-of-concept phase of the design cycle and help reduce the overall in-house […]
What is feedback?
Feedback is a term that describes comparing the actual output of a system to the desired output and adjusting the actual output to produce the desired end result. For example, the human nervous system provides constant feedback to the brain, especially when pain is felt for avoiding further bodily harm. In electronics, feedback is defined […]
Data acquisition system protects smart grid equipments, improves power delivery
Analog Devices announced a data acquisition system (DAS) that enhances smart grid equipment monitoring in order to protect equipment from harmful system faults and improve power delivery to residences and businesses. As electricity demand grows and renewable energy generation is added, utility companies must increase the scope, granularity and accuracy of monitoring points across the distribution […]
