Read MoreThinking about a long-term career as an engineer? Getting into engineering is not the easiest career path, but it can be quite rewarding. Read advice from our Chief Technical Office (and lead engineer) on getting started.
Read MoreSuper Bowl Sunday is coming up, and while most viewers will be focused on the game, or perhaps even more so on the ads, there is an important behind-the-scenes effort that goes on that is vital to the success of the entire effort. Frequency coordination!
Read MoreCompared to mobile networks of the past, it’s clear that there are more frequent, albeit more minor, issues with communications systems these days. Why is that?
Read MoreThe radio spectrum is a large and varied place. What do all those frequencies get used for, and what determines which ones are used for each application? There are several attributes that affect the choice… Read on to learn more!
Read MoreAt its core, engineering is a creative effort, and while there are many software programs that can assist an engineer with his work, ultimately it is the engineer who must create the product that is needed, or, perhaps even more basic, imagine the product in the first place.
Read MoreThere are several ways to simulate jamming in communications and GPS systems. Some are more accurate than others, but each has a place in the testing and training environment. It is vital that the details of the application be considered when selecting the best method, or combination of methods.
