A special technique produces very wide loop BWs in high-frequency PLLs (and hence, indirect (PLL) synthesizers), thereby achieving very low phase noise rivaling that of direct (MMD) synthesizers. A ...

Most engineers are surprised to learn that the term mechatronics isnearly 40 years old. It was first used in1969 by Tetsuro Mori, anengineer at the Yaskawa Company, to describe a system composed ...

In the first of a four-part series, Robert Dusenbury provides an overview of how his team went about designing and producing a golf putter to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of closed-loop ...

This is Part 2 of a three-part series. As discussed in Part 1 and recapped here, modern wireless communications systems (mainly superheterodyne radio transceivers) are now required to deliver higher ...
