One of the challenges that make embedded design interesting is finding different ways to leverage the wave of new technologies that we are seeing every day, by applying methods that have renewed applications because of the new technologies. Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) is a method that has been around for some time in the generation […]
In previous blogs we discussed emerging opportunities like health monitoring in smart wearable technologies, home automation and LED lighting, with new technologies and emerging applications that are only limited by our imaginations! Common to all of these technologies and applications, is the design of the hardware and signal processing algorithms which make these sensors come […]
In my experience as an embedded designer that the road to transforming an idea into an optimized result begins with the creation of a complete user specification. The user specification helps transform the idea from a mere concept to a concrete idea with form and function. A complete user specification is the foundation upon which […]
