About RF Cafe
Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Web BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived... All trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other rights of ownership to images

Bug Sniffers Back in the early days of digital computers, engineers would often troubleshoot hardware by writing "musical software." Portable AM radios would be used as "sniffers" in circuit areas where tubes and/or relays would be turning on and off with rhythms that were determined by the test software. If the chosen familiar tune did not sound as it should, then the problem could be deduced to be associated with that area of the processor known to be controlled by the program. |
