In the early 2010s, LightSquared, a multibillion-dollar startup that promised to revolutionize mobile phone communications, declared bankruptcy after it couldn’t figure out how to prevent its signals from interfering with those of the GPS system. Now, engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a new tool that could prevent such problems from happening again: a tunable filter that can effectively block interference even at the higher frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. “The hope is that this will enable the next generation of wireless communications,” says Troy Olson, an associate professor of electrical systems engineering (ESE) at the Pennsylvania Institute…
Fans of the Mini-ITX form factor have plenty of options to choose from with multiple platforms and chipset options ranging from entry level to high-end. ITX has replaced Micro ATX as the preeminent small form factor.ITX replaced Micro ATX as the preeminent small form factor.I’m a big fan of Mini-ITX and recently had the chance to test out a couple of mini motherboards, first the ASRock Z790I Lightning and then the MSI MPG B650I Edge WiFi. As the name suggests, this is an AMD B650 board that aims to balance affordability with a decent feature set.We love the look of…
