Fast solid-state neuromorphic proton transistor trained to convert triangles into sinewaves

Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and the Tokyo University of Science have created a solid-state electric double layer neuromorphic transistor, claiming it to be the fastest yet, and proving its computational ability by training it to convert waveforms. “The team measured the speed at which the transistor operates by applying pulsed voltage to ...

Free papers introduce IMFET, IC and discrete RF amplifiers

Component distributor Richardson RFPD has prepared a couple of documents on the options available for designers of RF amplifiers. Rather than in-depth, they are a useful introduction to the different possibilities of discrete RF transistors, impedance-matched FETs (IMFETs), and integrated circuit RF amplifiers (MMICs), with component examples picked multiple manufactures whose products it stocks. The ...

Embeddded antennas

 Amphenol RF has introduced embedded antennas supporting 8.5 GHz and cellular 4G/5G-FR1 frequencies along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth/BLE and LoRa, UWB and GNSS. Embedded RF antennas are suitable for IoT and smart devices due to their compact size and durable construction. By surface mounting the chip antenna directly on the PCB, with SMT solution, the need for ...
