There are several ways to implement immersive audio, each with different computational and hardware needs. Calculation of the head-related transfer function (HRTF) is an important aspect of deploying immersive audio. This FAQ begins by detailing what an HRTF is, looks at an open-source program for calculating HRTF, and then considers how cameras and inertial measurement […]

How does artificial intelligence relate to immersive audio?
Tools like neural networks (NNs), machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) are being applied to hard problems related to immersive audio. This FAQ will examine how NNs and ML are being used to up-mix audio tracks into their original constituent parts, how NNs are being used to produce personalized head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) and […]
HIgh-frequency, high-bandwidth RFICs and MMICs target RF and microwave
CML Microcircuits has announced the SµRF, a new range of high frequency, high bandwidth RFICS and MMICs targeting RF and mmWave applications. As wireless communications move further into the GHz range, the need for high-quality RF building blocks to enable high bandwidth and low latency is growing rapidly. The global demand for faster downloads and […]
What is pseudorandomness and why is it useful?
Pseudorandomness is a measurement of the degree to which a sequence of numbers, though appearing to be random, is produced by a deterministic and repeatable process. True randomness is a stochastic quality of a sequence which has a probability distribution or pattern that may be analyzed statistically but may not be predicted precisely. Pseudorandom sequences […]
