Illustration: James Provost CRT Chronometer: The Oscilloscope Clock Kit uses PIC microcontrollers to turn old cathode-ray tubes into clock displays. Once upon a time, there was a type of particle accelerator so popular that it was mass-produced by the million. Engineers and scientists at their benches, and folks at home in their living rooms, would […]

Kumu Networks Launches an Analog Radio Module That Cancels Its Own Interference

Photo: Kumu Networks Loudmouth: Kumu Networks’ new module addresses a classic problem—the signals a radio transmits are far more powerful than those it receives. It’s a problem as old as radio: Radios cannot send and receive signals at the same time on the same frequency. Or to be more accurate, whenever they do, any signals […]
Bringing Legacy Fiber Optic Cables Up to Speed

Installing optical fibers with fat cores once seemed like a good idea for local-area or campus data networks. It was easier to couple light into such “multimode” fibers than into the tiny cores of high-capacity “singlemode” fibers used for long-haul networks. The fatter the core, the slower data flows through the fiber, but fiber with 50-micrometer […]
