  • MIMO: Hardware or Software?

    A while back we covered CEVA’s move to multicore for their communications-oriented XC architecture. One of the motivating elements was the complexity of requirements for…

  • One + One > Two

    The latest, greatest mobile standards appear to be beastly affairs. Added to the old ones, and the number of algorithms that a poor cellphone –…

  • Monolithic Photonics

    An interesting development was announced yesterday in the photonics world. In what appears to be a first of its kind, at least commercially, Skorpios announced…

  • I Sing the Body Electric

    Microchip has just rolled out BodyCom, a new way to do wireless nwtworking using your own body as the antenna. This is a body-area network,…

  • MEMS Caps that Push Both Ways

    The many bands that cellphones must support, coupled with environmental changes that can have a dramatic effect on the effectiveness of a phone’s antenna, have…

  • Cloud Computing Deniers

    I’m not a big fan of “cloud computing,” as EEJ readers know. It seems like a stap backwards, to 1970s-era timeshare machines instead of the…

  • Towards One Less Antenna?

    Right at the beginning of this last year, we took a look at WiSpry; they make a MEMS-based tuning product for dynamically adjusting the antenna…

  • Intentionally Fuzzy

    All software has bugs; every system has some kind of vulnerability. And the canonical way of dealing with them is to fix the bugs or…

  • Indoor “GPS”

    Location-based services have become popular as smartphones are able to listen to the faint GPS (or GLONASS) signals and figure out where you are in…

  • World’s Smallest Server?

    Given all of the effort that goes into building internet capabilities into embedded systems, I was intrigued by a claim to the “world’s smallest device…
