Without doubt, baseband technology has advanced steadily with the introduction of multicore processors and memories that are faster and lower priced, but RF chips have not stood still either. The ...
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are so-called because they are structured very much like the now-obsolete “gate array” form of application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). In fact, FPGAs ...
After one of my engineers told me that she had found a typo in her hardware, I thought just how far design has come in the last 30 years and more. Back then, the analog section of a system consisted ...
New paper published in Nature details NTT Research’s development of the world’s first programmable nonlinear photonic waveguide in collaboration with Cornell University and Stanford University. A ...
The paper describes how, with a SOPC (System on a Programmable Chip) architecture embedded with a 32-Bit NIOS-II, a Layer 2 Ethernet switch can be implemented in a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) ...
