Take Spectrum Analysis Beyond the Bench: The Ultimate Field RF Workflow. Traditional RF testing usually starts and ends on the workbench. But in the real world, radio frequency signals don’t stay neatly inside a lab. Whether you’re monitoring spectrum health, tracking down elusive interference, or surveying a remote installation site, effective RF work requires you to go where the signals are. To tackle the complexities of outdoor RF environments, you need tools built for mobility without sacrificing precision. Enter the dynamic duo for field engineers: the HAROGIC PX Series handheld spectrum analyzer and the HDA Series directional antenna.

Designing for Centimeter-Level GNSS Accuracy. What It Really Takes. Autonomous robots, precision agriculture equipment, material-handling systems and other high-precision applications increasingly depend on GNSS for much more than approximate location. They need reliable positioning accurate enough to navigate, operate and repeat tasks consistently. Read more via Taoglas:

Planning a DOCSIS 4.0 HFC upgrade? The right amplifiers and control products make a big difference to how your distributed network performs, scales and holds up over time.

Qorvo’s updated CATV Product Selection Guide brings our newest amplifiers and control products together in one place, so you can compare options and shortlist the right solutions for your design.

-Support for expanded spectrum and upstream capacity
-Products suited to distributed network architectures
-Remote monitoring and control options
-One reference for faster, easier planning

DOCSIS 4.0 offers a path to get there on existing hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) infrastructure. But the upgrade is only as strong as the equipment in your distributed network design.

How to Choose a Gateway for LoRaWAN: Indoor vs Outdoor, 8 vs 16 Channel. Almost everyone shopping for a gateway starts with the same question: eight channels or sixteen? It is the number printed on the box, so it feels like the decision that matters. It usually matters least. Three mistakes come up again and again, and all three are expensive to undo.
