Designing cellular antennas into small IoT products

06 May, 2024

Consumers expect wearable electronics such as smart watches, fitness trackers and pet trackers to be very small; these IoT products must still work well even though the ground plane is shortened.

PCB testing

01 March, 2006

By combining electronic and mechanical testing through mounting the board under test in a cantilevered or two-support beam position and subjecting it to an oscillating force, important reliability information can be gained and incipient failure modes; eg, track breakage, SMD and pin joint failures revealed.

Two-chip Bluetooth system

25 May, 2004

Xemics' two-chip Bluetooth solution, using the recent Skyworks' 1.2 compatible radio, sees overall PCB surface required shrink to less than 49 mm2. This means that the two-chip solution is even smaller than the 'single chip solutions' available.
