EE World discussed with GlobalFoundries’ Anthony Yu trends and tradeoffs in co-packaged optics and silicon photonics resulting from the rising data demand that AI thrusts upon us. It’s coming down to speed versus reliability, at least for now.

EE World spoke with Sarah Boen, Director of Technology and ASIC Strategy at Tektronix, who spoke at a panel session on how AI and silicon photonics are changing networks and the challenges facing test engineers and reliability engineers. In OFC 2024: It’s AI or die, EE World reported on how the data generated by AI…

Washington, DC — The International Microwave Symposium (IMS), which took place here in June 2024, featured a wide array of RF, microwave, and mmWave components. These components range from passive connectors and waveguides to amplifiers, switches, filters, and data converters. In general, these components make their way into military communications systems or commercial wireless networks.…

By Steve Rumsby, Spirent Communications When is a standard not a standard? This is a technical rather than metaphysical question, though the answer has implications well beyond technology. In the communications business, waiting for a formal technical standard to publish can seem like forever. As a result, industry groups develop their own interim standards to…

The infrastructure of data communications networks needs lots of fiber, semiconductors, and network equipment to bring data to the masses. Optical data networks form the backbone of today’s communications. Data centers, which seem to dominate any discussion of digital communications, depend heavily on fiber-optic connections from a few meters to many kilometers. Getting those bits…

It’s not always easy for an engineer to determine the best networking and fiber optic measurement solution to address their measurement needs. To help with that, this webinar discusses: The what, why, and how of available options like optical spectrum analyzers, optical wavelength meters, optical power meters, variable attenuators, fixed and tunable laser sources, and…

At the 6G Symposium and 6G Summit, attendees saw the latest research that could lead to the next generation of wireless.

Through photos and videos, EE World covers some of the active and passive components that RF and wireless engineers need to connect us all.

In EE World videos from the 2023 International Microwave Symposium, engineers received a history lesson on early transatlantic cables through an analysis using today’s methods. Plus, a demonstration of a 1944 radio using a razor blade as a rectifier. Modern equipment provided an automated Morse code signal.

The Apollo MxFE software-defined signal processing SoC from Analog Devices digitizes and generates analog signals with DSP in between. Applications cover aerospace & defense, instrumentation, and wireless communications.
