Critical comms: TETRA vs DMR
Critical comms users are looking beyond push-to-talk voice to an all-IP world of converged applications. But which radio standard is best? Jonathan Bunce of Simoco explains the European perspective and puts the case for DMR as a successor to TETRA. [ + ]
Designing the SKA's precursor with digital simulation
The challenge of developing instruments to cope with the flood of data from the next generation of radio telescopes is pushing the boundaries of technology. Simulation can help. [ + ]
Celestial GPS using dead stars
Radio signals from deep space could soon be used to produce a kind of ‘celestial GPS’ for satellite navigation. [ + ]
A strategic approach to radio technology
Chief information officers have a responsibility to make informed and balanced decisions when it comes to implementing strategic radio network plans. [ + ]
Yagi - the man behind the antenna
The Yagi antenna can be found everywhere - land, sea and air. So who was the man who brought us this ubiquitous device? [ + ]

Remembering the Avo 7
The remarkable Avo Mark 7 moving coil multimeter remained in production from 1936 to 1986. No self-respecting engineer was without one. [ + ]
More speed, more insight
FFT-based EMI test receivers used for compliance measurements can reduce scan time by several orders of magnitude and to provide more precise and reproducible measurements. [ + ]
Choice: the solution for public safety
In a world of broadening critical communications methods, solutions that don’t offer choice aren’t solutions - they’re constraints. [ + ]
Industry voice growing: ARCIA
The Australian Radio Communications Industry Association has had a very successful six months, writes Christian Kelly. [ + ]
System-level design of mixed-signal integrated circuits
Researchers at the Semiconductor Technology Academic Research Centre have developed a way to reduce the time it takes to design mixed-signal semiconductors by 50%. [ + ]
The FM innovator
Considered by many to be the most prolific inventor in radio history, Edwin Armstrong, the pioneer of FM, is barely known today. [ + ]
Combining technologies for crisis communications
Keeping lines of communications open during a crisis is critical - and the Dublin Fire Brigade has shown how, using satellite and hybrid technologies. [ + ]
