Electromagnetic near-field PCB Probes are open source
https://www.electronics-lab.com/electromagnetic-near-field-pcb-probes-are-open-source/
In modern compact electronic circuits, there are several components on a confined PCB area, and so, the electromagnetic effects induced from one component may affect the surrounding components. This disturbance is known as Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). The source of the radiation must be identified in PCBs to predict the EMC of electronic circuits. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) […]

Researchers develop MEMS vibrational energy harvesters for IoT Systems
https://www.electronics-lab.com/researchers-develop-mems-vibrational-energy-harvesters-for-iot-systems/
IoT systems are very well known these days as they allow connection and exchange of data through the internet. The Internet of Things (IoT) systems consist of a network of sensors, actuators, software, and other technologies connected. Due to increasing design specifications and the need for compactness, dependence on energy sources like solar is not […]
Buck converter PCB design replaces TO-220 regulators
https://www.electronics-lab.com/buck-converter-pcb-design-replaces-to-220-regulators/
Linear voltage regulators are used to maintaining a steady output voltage. They are step-down converters where the input voltage is always higher than the output voltage. The output voltage can be adjusted by external resistors. 78xx series is a very popular linear voltage regulator series. 78xx series, however, do not require external components for setting […]
