A series of well-curated articles to understand the fundamental of electronics. The articles in this section elucidates basic concepts of electronics and design tips that can be equally useful to beginners and experts.
5G will not only boost mobile telecom but also the IoT with technology such as DECT-2020 NR.
Mobile communications has followed a development path signposted by “generations”. It forms an interesting history kicking off with the retroactively applied ‘0G’ label used to describe analog systems that predated the cellular approach.…
Smart meters along with automotive, router/CPE, industrial, PC and POS are the major IoT based cellular applications that helped in generating large revenue, but router/CPE, PC, and drones are the key three growing segments
For the international deployments of IoT, cellular connectivity is known to be the impeccable and trustworthy…
As the Russian-Ukrainian fracas continues, various countries and firms are now busy in evaluating where the upcoming disturbance and disruption in the supply chain will happen. Now, as the financial frictions escalate between China and other western countries, a huge concern over China’s dominating action on Taiwan has augmented. These worries have…
For the past several years, cars are transforming in several ways and are not limited to only transportation now. It has now turned into a state-of-the-art massive-scale computer on wheels. Digital transformation’s impact on the automobile industry is spearheading this growth and evolution and the connected car is commencing to take a considerable lead in…
The global automotive industry has been going through a tough time since 2020 with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic whose supply chain was massively disrupted. After a gap of two years, the barriers that still exist on the path to recuperate this sector seems a difficult task. The four consecutive waves of this virus followed by the slump in chip production and lack of…
Cells have been used for storing energy from time immemorial, from a Baghdad battery, which dates back to 250BC to newer technology such as a hydrogen fuel cell, that just gives water as a byproduct, batteries have come a long way. A group of cells when connected together is called a battery.
Batteries are touted as the future of energy…
The world’s biggest economy the United States, which recorded an astonishing GDP of 20.49 trillion was also spearheading the semiconductor industry for over a decade, but things have now taken a turn and the country is now failing to compete with its Asian rivals in assembly and test manufacturing, fabrication, and wafer fabrication. According to various experts, the country…
Forty years ago, when I was in high school, my vehicle had two primary pieces of electronic technology that I was concerned with. My 1972 Chevrolet Nova had no Global Positioning System (GPS), driver assist, or backing cameras. I did not even have power windows and locks (Figure 1). I roll cranked the windows down and up and hit all the locks by hand to engage or disengage…
We use Arduino boards in many of our projects. Most of the time we will power it through the USB port. But, that’s not the only way to power an Arduino. In this article we will learn about the four different ways to power an Arduino UNO board. While making any projects, knowing these techniques will be handy in instances when flexibility with regards to the power supply is required.

What is the Arduino IDE? As we know we need a text/code editor to write the code, a compiler to convert that code to machine code or binary files so that the microcontroller can understand, and also programming software to load these firmware files onto the microcontroller. When we combine all these with some additional features like…
Arduino is probably the first thing that comes to mind for most hobbyists and students when they think about embedded systems. It has certainly gained its name among the electronics community, and in fact, we at CircuitDigest use it extensively; you can check out all our Arduino projects. Easy-to-use programming environment and vast support from the online community…
Think about the network efficacies that can be possible if the frequency bands and traffic of radio were supervised or rather managed automatically via artificial intelligence (AI). Then the user experience will never be hampered and 5G coverage could be secured and protected. Experts discovered a unique way of optimizing the radio access networks, which is by including AI…
