Traditional test methodologies employ testing as part of the validation
phase of a project. While testing
plays an important role for validation and
quality control, it can also serve as a developmental
catalyst if the experiments are
performed during earlier phases of a
design. Development is accelerated by
iterative testing, ...

As commercial and military electronics
applications continue to
“push the envelope” with higher
powers and smaller packaging requirements,
it is becoming more critical to minimize
the thermal resistance from the
heat load to the heat sink. Ideal packaging
materials must have high thermal conductivity
and coefficient of thermal expansion
(CTE) ...

Software Defined Radio (SDR) represents
an important move forward
for mobile and personal communications,
promising a major increase in
flexibility, capability, and cost efficiency. It
utilizes a combination of field-programmable
gate arrays (FPGAs), digital signal
processors (DSPs), and analog/RF
designs to achieve the radio’s system performance.
The SDR’...
