Orientation and spatial frequency tuning are highly salient properties of neurons in primary visual cortex (V1). The combined organization of these particular tuning properties in the cortical space ...

A software-defined radio (SDR) uses a general-purpose computer processor to perform aspects of digital signal processing in place of analog circuit hardware. This allows for greater flexibility in ...

Phase-change nanowires could serve as the ultimate tunable frequency synthesizers and filters for the future of IoT and 5G networks. In a paper published today in Nature Communications, researchers at ...

An understanding of tuning and autotuning helps designers better evaluate servosystems and judge which motion components best suit particular applications. Servosystems are well known for their ...

Since the derivation of the Wien network by Physicist Max Wien (prior work was the ballistic bridge by J. C. Maxwell) in 1891, this network has been used in many oscillators’ designs. One of the most ...

Why a tunable GHz-range filter is needed. How a new approach to devices based on YIG and magnetic spin waves offers a much smaller and lower-power solution. How the new device was implemented along ...

Intel's Coffee Lake Core i7-8700K has launched, earning our top CPU recommendation at its price point. But there's one issue worth being aware of going forward: Intel has declared that it will no ...
