WEB EXCLUSIVE: Expert Weighs in on RF/Digital Integration Challenges

Although they speak different languages, digital designers and RF designers have to integrate their subsystems at some point. Advanced tools help smooth the way.

It’s clear that both RF and embedded computing are critical technologies for a host of military systems-but the two worlds have traditionally run in separate circles. Today the push is toward streamlining the integration of RF and digital subsystems. Designers of advanced sensor processing applications want more affordable, flexible solutions that ease the integration of RF and digital subsystems (Figure 1).
