Frequency modulation (FM) is a class of analog modulation techniques that rely on varying the instantaneous frequency of a radio-frequency (RF) carrier in accordance with the baseband signal. The amplitude of the FM signal is constant, while its instantaneous frequency is time variant; therefore, the zero crossing rate (ZCR) of the carrier differs at a rate proportional to the … [Read more...] about Narrowband and wideband frequency modulation spectral characterization and bandwidth calculation

Enabling user access to increasingly complex systems via Kano analysis
Systems are getting increasingly complicated based on the increased functionalities demanded by users. The result of this growing complexity has been a correspondingly high challenge for users operating their own systems. At first glance, the obvious solution to this issue may appear to be system simplification and a parallel reduction in operational capability, but this option … [Read more...] about Enabling user access to increasingly complex systems via Kano analysis
A spider’s bit(e): How far are we from becoming Spidermen?
I am a biotechnologist who recently earned a Ph.D. degree in molecular biology and genetics. Although I have always worked with bacteria, I believe knowledge is transversal to the life sciences, through every level of complexity with the due scalability, never underestimating the power of learning from the small things. My research has always been focused on finding new … [Read more...] about A spider’s bit(e): How far are we from becoming Spidermen?

A start-up journey in bionic prosthetics and virtual therapy
We feel the world through our senses, but we interact with it through our limbs. Over time, we forget the complexity of our surroundings, and we take our movements as obvious and simple actions. However, did you ever imagine that touching the hand of someone you love, grabbing a cup of water when you are thirsty, closing your jacket, and even simply being able to open your door … [Read more...] about A start-up journey in bionic prosthetics and virtual therapy
