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.
Power line Communications (PLC), also known as Power Line Telecommunications (PLT) is the communication technology which uses the existing public and private wiring for the transmission of the signals. Using PLC communication signals, high-speed data, voice and video are transmitted over low-voltage power lines.
PLC…
Optical Fiber Communication is the method of communication in which signal is transmitted in the form of light and optical fiber is used as a medium of transmitting those light signal from one place to another. The signal transmitted in optical fiber is converted from the electrical signal into light and at the receiving end, it is converted back into the electrical signal…
There are many wireless devices working across the world which makes the people’s life easy and comfortable in many ways, but all these wireless devices are needed to be charged again and again to use them. But what if, we can use the same radio frequency that transfers data, to charge the devices. This technology would reduce or omit the use of batteries for powering the…
Certification is usually one of the most expensive and tedious stages during the development of a new hardware product. It helps the authorities to know that the product adheres to all the laid down laws and guidelines around the functions. This way, the performance of that particular product can be assured to prevent hazards, and harm to its users. As tedious as this stage…
Drones have existed for a long time, but have gained popularity only in recent times. These Unmanned Ariel Vehicles have gotten better, Cheaper and versatile with time. Drones are helping to penetrate into various sectors, rather than being just limited to hobbyists.
One such industry which is welcoming drones to an extent is the shipping industry.…
One of the most non-technical uses for the Raspberry Pi is its use as a media server for playing music, videos, and live streaming of all sort of multimedia.
Media Servers typically aggregate media files from all of the users favorite sources including local drives, internet based music platforms like spotify, and video streaming platforms like…
The race for wireless technology started long back in 1890’s when Marconi built the world’s first radio station and introduced wireless telegraphy, which completely re-defined the way how humans exchanged information back then. Today, we have advanced with many new cellular technologies to transmit large amount of data wirelessly to anyone living at even the deepest corner…
Embedded systems have a wide range of application in all the electronic devices around us, an evident example is the mini laptop that we carry around with us all the time, yes I am referring to our mobile phones.
Whenever embedded system comes into picture it is always a combination of hardware like Microcontrollers or Microprocessors and software…
Today Human civilization is highly dependent on computers and other machines. Everything around us from a simple alarm clock, to a complicated online banking system, works based on the program written for it. But how dependable are these programs, it is okay to wake up late when your alarm clock fails you, but think about losing your life’s savings just because your banking…
Internet and connectivity are taking center stage, not just in the industrial environment but also among individuals’ personal spaces. With internet becoming the prime ‘ingredient’ in nearly every electronic system, the importance of connectivity has been amplified to a whole new level, today.
In the world, where…
Bleeder resistors are standard high value resistors which are used to discharge the capacitor in filter circuit. The discharging of the capacitors is really important because even if the power supply is OFF, a charged capacitor can give a shock to anybody. So it is really essential to add a bleeder resistor to avoid any mishaps. It also have other applications but the main…
The emergence of the Internet of Things has changed various industrial operations for good. With the ability of deploying devices that could measure, record and share data we can easily create a huge database of critical data. Analysis of this database through business analytics and numeric approach provides us a better insight on what is happening in a particular…
