RF Cafe Quiz #60:

Ten Essential Skills for EEs

RF Cafe Quiz #60: Ten Essential Skills for Electrical Engineers - RF CafeYou or somebody you know needs this book. When author Barry Dorr told me a while back that he had a new book coming out aimed at recent college graduates and other job hunters, I figured it might be just another "Top 10" type collection of ideas which wouldn't hurt to know, but that would be too specific for general use. After reading through Ten Essential Skills for Electrical Engineers I can confidently tell you that is much more than one guy's opinion of what you should know to advance in your career. It is rare that I actually read through as much of an engineering book as I did this one. Mr. Dorr's primary goal is to provide...

The ability of the AWR tools to model nonlinear components using discrete components and parameterized variables gives the designer access to a fully dynamic simulation

Littler Than Lilliput:

Microminiature Electronics

Littler Than Lilliput, March 1963 Popular Electronics - RF CafeMr. Einstein believed everything is relative, and this 1963 article on the revolution of "microminiature electronics" certainly attests to the truth of it. Unlike with his Theory of Special Relativity though, travel near the speed of light is not needed to witness length contraction in the electronics realm; the passage of time and its attendant evolution of technology does that for us. Today's definition of 'microelectronics' will to our progeny seem laughingly absurd when they read about (or more likely have wirelessly implanted in their brain's memory cells) our current transistor gate widths of tens of atoms. BTW, Lilliput, in case you don't know, is the island nation of Gulliver's Travels where...

After Class:

Understanding Decibels

After Class: Understanding Decibels, November 1958 Popular Electronics - RF CafeDecibels always have been and always will be a daunting subject to a lot of people. For electronics types, the issue of when to multiply the logarithm of the ratio by 10 or by 20 seems to be the biggest stumbling block. After many years of working with decibels, it becomes second nature. There are still instances, though, where I see seasoned engineers and technicians routinely confuse unreferenced decibel units (dB, the logarithm of a ratio) with logs of ratios referred to some base value (dBm, dBV, etc.). The bel unit was originally created to quantitatively assign changes in perceived levels of sound loudness...

Sherlock Ohms:

A Soldering Conundrum

Sherlock Ohms: A Soldering Conundrum - RF CafeSherlock Ohms is a regular feature by Design News where engineers and technicians describe their adventures of troubleshooting circuit and software problems. Quite often I can relate to the scenarios because of similar instances I've had over many years of being involved in electronics. This story by A. David Boccuti is very instructive in how to find the root cause of a problem in production that suddenly appears for no apparently good reason. In Mr. Boccuti's case it was a component refusing to be soldered properly when in the past there was never an issue. He did a commendable job in resolving the problem. Having begun my post-USAF electronics career as...

Carl & Jerry: A Hot Idea

Carl & Jerry: A Hot Idea, March 1960 Popular Electronics - RF CafeThat John T. Frye was a great short story writer is a given truism based on his decades-long production of the Carl & Jerry series in Popular Electronics. It is easy to look over the fact that he also had artistic skills as well as evidenced by the pencil drawings that accompanied each installment. In this episode, our two electronics hobbyists build a resistor anemometer to measure wind speed from within their basement workshop. In the usually storyline style, one boy gives a lesson in circuit design while the other (also the reader) is the attentive student.

The Laboratory Page

The Laboratory Page: Wire Current Carrying Capacity, December 1940 January 1941 National Radio News - RF CafeAs mentioned in an earlier article, National Radio Institute (NRI) was one of the first companies to exploit the burgeoning field of electronics in the early part of the last century. They invested heavily in facilities and resources for producing educational material for both classroom and correspondence courses. Up until sometime in the early 1990s when throw-away electronics and almost total offshore manufacturing became the rule rather than the exception, there were always large advertisements in magazines offering to rescue floundering career seekers with promises of untold opportunities and riches from servicing radios, televisions...

College Return on Investment

(ROI) for 2014

College Return on Investment (ROI) for 2014 - RF CafeProfessors and executive staff at top colleges get paid lots of $$$ for their services. Add to that über generous retirement and benefits packages, the high cost of administering a plethora of social programs and politically correct courses, guest lecturers, and '<insert worthless topic> Studies' degrees, and expected donations to various popular causes. Throw in a prestigious brand name and maybe a sports team and the cost of actually getting an education can be really, really expensive.

Median CEO Pay Crossed

7-Figure Mark in 2013

Median CEO Pay Crossed 7-Figure Mark in 2013 - RF CafeCorporate Welfare is alive and well in spite of political campaign promises to end it. According to a new Associated Press story, the median compensation for the CEO of a large publicly traded company crossed over into the 7-figure realm for the first time in 2013, with an average pay package of $10.5 million - an increase of 8.8% from $9.6 million in 2012. Why do I say corporate welfare? Simple, the increase is attributed primarily to a surging stock market, which is almost entirely funded by the Fed printing money (yeah, I know, it's not actually printed) and passing it into the coffers of bankers, investors, and businesses either directly via stimulus programs, quantitative easing, and bailouts, or via social programs, government contracts, hiring incentives for OTWM workers, and a multitude of other manipulations ...

Electronics-Themed Comics

Electronics-Themed Comics 1958 Radio Electronics - RF CafeBeing a great appreciator of good humor, and especially technology-related humor, I made sure to scan these comics from the pages of vintage Radio-Electronics magazines. You might have to have lived through the era of televisions with cathode ray tubes (CRTs) to fully appreciate the frustration of trying to acceptably grab, align, define, sharpen, tone, and lock an over-the-air broadcast signal on track. Stories of people putting feet or baseball bats through the sets were a big source of situational humor.

Memorial Day - 2014

Gettysburg Address - 1863

Memorial Day Histors - Memorial Day History - RF CafeGettysburg Address"...But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." - Abraham Lincoln. November 19, 1863.

Uncommon Ground Difficulties

Uncommon Ground Difficulties, April 1958 Radio-Electronics - RF Cafe"Ground is ground the world around," is an oft repeated saying when talking about making electrical connections to Earth ground. In a general sense that is true, especially when referring to electromagnetic radio signals and antenna systems that are in some manner dependent on the common connection. However, when you are working within the confines of a localized electronic circuit such as on a printed circuit board or inside a chassis, there is no guarantee that without proper precautions ground is not at the same potential everywhere. Poor (high impedance) soldered, crimped, and bolted connections are among the prime offenders...

Birth of the Electron

Tube Amplifier

Birth of the Electron Tube Amplifier, March 1957 Radio & Television News - RF CafeThis article purposes to set the record straight about the difference between John A. Fleming's 'thermionic valve diode' rectifier, which did not produce signal amplification, and de Forest's audion tube, which did provide amplification. U.S. patent number 841387, "Device for Amplifying Feeble Electrical Currents," was issued to Lee de Forest on January 15, 1907, a little over a year after Fleming received patent 803684 for his "Instrument for Converting Alternating Electric Currents into Continuous Current" on November 7, 1905.

Radio Aloft!...in Private

Radio Aloft!...in Private and Transport Flying, September 1932 Radio News - RF Cafe"Don't forget who brung you to the dance," is a variation of the old adage that admonishes you to remember who/what it was that provided the opportunity to be where you are now. It aptly applies to radio communications of all sorts. This short article from a 1932 edition of Radio News discusses the advent of radio beacon installations across America to facilitate air navigation during inclement weather. Before there was an FAA, the Department of Commerce handled commercial air traffic for passenger and cargo payloads. Aviation was on the verge of becoming a very profitable industry (the Douglas DC-3 would make that happen...

Electronics Abbreviations

Crossword Puzzle

Electronics Abbreviations Crossword Puzzle, November 1958 Popular Electronics - RF CafeThis crossword puzzle is a little trickier than some because it uses electronics abbreviations rather than full words. Not everyone uses the same abbreviation, so some answers are a bit more subjective. For instance, many people abbreviate the word 'transformer' as 'xfmr,' while others use 'trans' or 'trr' (I use xfmr). Where you really have to be careful, though, is with evolutional changes in terminology as is the case for frequency units, where 'cps' was most often used in 1958 rather than today's 'Hz." Enjoy.

After Class: X-Rays

After Class: X-Rays, October 1960 Popular Electronics - RF CafeA while back I was taken to task for remarking on the seemingly crude (the word I used was 'barbaric") nature of some early medical machinery that appeared in a mid-20th-century edition of Popular Electronics (see "Electronics Against Cancer"). I won't repeat my mistake here when describing how early medical x-ray machines are scary looking. Admittedly, being stuffed inside a modern MRI machine and having the loud electromagnetic coils cycling is no relaxing trip to the countryside, but the x-ray machine shown here looks like the Q-36 space modulator beam Marvin the Martian might have pointed at the Earth to disintegrate it just before he asks, "Where's the kaboom?...
