My first electronics project, a discrete 4-bit full adder built on breadboards, inspired from Ben Eater
| Hey guys! I got into electronics and computers during the pandemic, but could not continue it further due to school work (and being a broke 14yo lol). Finally 6 years later I managed to save up and get myself some components to put something together that felt like an actual project. I will be happy to get any feedback!

Electron beam energy

Goldilocks and the Three Bears (and their porridge, beds and chairs) have got nothing on this high voltage design challenge.
Sometimes a client gets into areas of technology that go way over my head, but I manage to pick up a snippet here or there. This is one such case.
The requirement was to create an electron beam for which the beam energy would be precisely known. The measurement technique is diagrammed as follows (Figure 1).

Figure 1 Fairy tales and their application to electron beam energy (if-necessary reference)
Two curved metal channels were arranged in a circular path through which the electron beam was to be directed. Equal but opposite polarity high voltages would be applied as shown. When an electron source was aimed into one end of this structure, the path of that beam, i.e., the beam’s radius of curvature, would vary as a function of the applied high voltages.
By dint of equations that left me in the dust, when the high voltages and beam energy were a proper match, the electron beam would emerge at the output end where it would go on to serve its intended purpose. The beam’s radius of curvature under the electrostatic field would be just right, and the beam energy would be precisely known. If there was a mismatch, the electron beam would impinge instead on one metal plate or the other and not appear at the output.
The high voltage and voltage precision requirements for this thing were quite demanding. The dual power supply we made for this setup went from zero to 25 kV on each side and had a room temperature versus voltage temperature coefficient on the order of 1 ppm per °C.
Happily, it worked very well.

You just Inherited a Simulink model you have never seen before. Now what?

As systems grow, the knowledge needed to safely change them becomes harder to retrieve quickly, even when the design itself is sound. Models increasingly encode not just algorithms, but also assumptions, trade-offs, and system-level intent that accumulate over time. As ownership changes hands, understanding that intent becomes the bottleneck.
Consider a common engineering handoff: you are new to an existing project and are asked to update the braking system to support a heavier vehicle variant. The system works. The architecture looks intentional. But you were not part of the original design decisions, and before touching anything, you need to understand what is safe to change and why.
Compared to reading thousands of lines of code, being given a model offers a clear advantage. It exposes structure, makes data flow visible, and captures behavior in a form engineers can reason more quickly. For years, this has been a core strength of model-based design.
However, this advantage is now under pressure. Today’s software-defined systems are larger, more interconnected, and built across distributed teams, suppliers, and release cycles. Even with a well-structured model, engineers still need to reconstruct why signals flow a certain way, which subsystems own specific behaviors, which parameters are safe to modify, and where hidden constraints exist.
So, when that context is hard to recover, teams slow down. Review cycles expand. The risk of validation failures or schedule delays increases. This is not because the design is wrong, but because its underlying rationale is difficult to access quickly. Over time, this becomes an engineering scalability problem: critical knowledge lives inside the design but becomes harder to retrieve as systems grow more complex.
The challenge is no longer simply one of scalability, but of how engineers recover that context quickly enough to make the right change. This is the gap that shows up most clearly in engineering handoffs.
Walkthrough: Recover context in the ABS braking model
To see how this challenge appears in practice, consider an anti-lock braking system (ABS) model. The system runs, but the engineer has been asked to update the braking system to support a heavier vehicle variant. Before making that change, engineers first need to understand where the wheel-speed behavior lives and how it interacts with the rest of the design.

Figure 1 ABS demo regulating wheel slip (Desired Relative Slip) via a bang-bang controller (Controller) drives vehicle/brake dynamics (Vehicle Dynamics) with visualization (Visualization). Source: MathWorks
This opens sldemo_absbrake, a model that simulates vehicle dynamics under braking with a bang-bang controller. The example is small enough to follow end to end, but it raises the same questions that appears in production handoffs: What are the major pieces? Where does the behaviour live? Which blocks should be inspected before changing it?
Get the big picture
Start by building a system-level understanding of the model. Before inspecting individual blocks, click “Simulink Copilot Chat” on the “Simulation” tab of the toolstrip, and type: Give me an overview of this model.
Simulink Copilot returns a structured breakdown of the four top-level subsystems (Controller, Vehicle Dynamics, Visualization, and More Info), the high-level signal flow from slip reference to controller to braking dynamics to visualization, and the control strategy: bang-bang control on the slip error. Every block name in the response is a clickable hyperlink, so the explanation remains tied to the model canvas rather than floating apart from it.

Figure 2 Simulink Copilot generates a grounded overview of the open model, with hyperlinks to each subsystem and block. Source: MathWorks
Instead of digging through the model block by block, a working mental map is established. The model’s behaviour, major connections, and the part of the design worth inspecting before making a change are now clear.
Drill into a subsystem
The overview points to “Vehicle Dynamics” as the subsystem that handles braking physics. If a change could affect wheel motion, stopping distance, or slip, that is the area to drill down next. Instead of opening the subsystem and reading every block manually, right-click the “Vehicle Dynamics” block on the canvas and choose “Explain with Simulink Copilot” in the Simulink context menu.

Figure 3 Right-click any block and choose “Explain with Simulink Copilot” for a contextual explanation without typing a prompt. Source: MathWorks
Simulink Copilot generates a contextual explanation of the subsystem: its purpose, its inputs and outputs, and the internal structure that connects tire forces, brake pressure, wheel speed, vehicle speed, and relative slip. This is not a generic block description. It explains how Vehicle Dynamics is connected to this specific design, which is the context needed before deciding what to modify.
Find where a feature lives
Now suppose the design change requires extending or reviewing the wheel-speed calculation. There is no longer a need to start at the top of the model or guess which subsystem owns that behaviour. Ask the question directly: What components handle wheel-speed calculation?

Figure 4 Simulink Copilot identifies the specific blocks that implement wheel-speed calculation, each hyperlinked for one-click navigation. Source: MathWorks
Simulink Copilot returns the specific blocks involved, including sldemo_wheelspeed_absbrake, the integrator that computes wheel angular velocity, and the gain block that converts angular velocity to wheel speed. Each result is hyperlinked to a model element, enabling navigation from a design question to the implementation detail.
What this looks like in practice
Generate an overview, drill down into subsystems, and perform a targeted search: this becomes a repeatable three-step pattern for working with an inherited Simulink model. Start broad enough to understand the architecture, narrow the conversation around the subsystem that owns the behaviour, and then ask targeted questions that lead to the blocks that may need modification.
From there, follow-up questions can move from orientation to change impact:
- How does the bang-bang control strategy work within the context of this model?
- What outputs are visualized during simulation, and how do they reflect braking performance?
- What adjustments can be made to controller parameters to enhance braking response time?
Each response references the model itself: block names, signal paths, subsystem boundaries, and parameter values. The conversation builds on itself, so by the time the first edit is made, the process is no longer based on a disconnected search result. Instead, it provides a model-specific explanation of what the design does, how the relevant pieces fit together, and why they matter to the requested change.
Tips for better handoff questions
- Be specific about scope. “Explain the braking control logic” works better than “explain this model” once the relevant part of the inherited design has been identified.
- State the goal, not just the question. “I need to extend the wheel-speed calculation” gives Simulink Copilot context to focus on the behaviour that is changing.
- Reference blocks by name when possible. “Explain the Sum block labelled slip_error” is more useful than “explain the Sum block” because it anchors the question in the design.
- Use Deeper Insights for questions that require sophisticated reasoning. Reserve the more thorough analysis for decisions about design intent, subsystem responsibilities, or change impact.
Now return to the engineer at the start: you inherited a model, and you were asked to update the braking system to support a heavier vehicle variant, and the risk was not that the model lacked structure. The risk was acting before understanding the intent behind that structure.
A grounded conversation changes that first hour. The architecture can be mapped, the subsystem that owns the behaviour can be inspected, and the relevant blocks can be identified before making the change. That does not replace engineering judgment or validation, but it provides a faster, more defensible way to inform decisions for the next design change.

Microchip and Marelli Develop Open-Standard Display Connectivity Solution for Software-Defined Vehicles
Microchip Technology and Marelli have announced a new display connectivity solution that uses ASA Motion Link (ASA-ML), an open standard for automotive video connectivity. The solution enables graphics and video generated by a vehicle’s central computer to be streamed directly to in-vehicle displays. The demonstrator can help automakers simplify display architectures, optimise system costs and increase sourcing flexibility as they move toward software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
ASA Motion Link is an open standard for automotive video connectivity and SerDes (serializer-deserializer) communication, defined by the Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA), a global consortium of vehicle makers, Tier 1 suppliers and semiconductor companies. By enabling secure, high-speed video and graphics transmission across products from multiple technology providers, the standard supports greater compatibility across the automotive ecosystem and provides a scalable alternative to proprietary video transmission technologies. As a founding member of ASA, Microchip is advancing the automotive industry’s transition from proprietary connectivity technologies to open, interoperable standards, and has demonstrated broad interoperability with its camera solutions and is now extending those solutions to enable display connectivity.
As vehicle architectures evolve toward centralized computing and software-defined vehicles (SDVs), vehicle makers are looking for connectivity solutions that can support growing performance demands while reducing complexity, controlling costs and enabling scalable vehicle electronics architectures. In the joint demonstrator solution, graphics and video content generated by the vehicle’s central computer is processed and transmitted through Microchip’s VS7000 ASA-ML chipset over a high-speed standardized link.
Marelli pioneers the display-side integration of the technology by enabling the configuration and optimization of the ASA ML deserializer to decode standardized video streams directly at the display. This ensures accurate reception, synchronization and delivery of centrally generated content, including camera feeds, navigation maps, infotainment graphics and vehicle control interfaces, while enabling simplified display-side electronic architectures.
“The transition to software-defined vehicles is driving demand for more open, flexible and scalable electronic architectures,” said Kelei Shen, president of Marelli’s electronics business. “As an integrator within the automotive ecosystem, Marelli brings together best-in-class technologies from multiple partners to deliver complete solutions for vehicle makers.

Rohde & Schwarz Showcases Advanced RF and Microwave Test Solutions at EuMW 2026 in London
London is set to be the venue for European Microwave Week (EuMW) 2026, bringing together professionals working across RF, microwave, wireless and radar engineering.
In relation to this the European Microwave Exhibition is being held in Excel London, the event scheduled to take place between October 6 and 8, 2026. Within Booth B10, Rohde & Schwarz will present a range of their most recent test and measurement solutions, aimed at RF & Microwave component, wireless, radar & satellite system developers and will enable them to respond to demands in areas such as EW (electronic warfare) and EMSO (electromagnetic spectrum operations) with more challenging frequency environments.
Markus Lörner, Application Segment Manager RF & Microwave Components at Rohde & Schwarz, says: “Our EuMW 2026 motto, ‘Progress needs proof,’ reflects what many engineers are facing today: when DUTs push beyond the limits of conventional methods, innovation slows down. At the show, we will demonstrate how our advanced test solutions support customers across RF and microwave components, satellite and radar systems, phased-array antennas and emerging 6G sensing applications. As R&D moves toward higher frequencies, more integrated designs and increasingly demanding spectrum environments, precise and reliable measurement becomes a key enabler of progress.”
From EW and EMSO scenarios to advanced high-frequency characterizationA highlight at the Rohde & Schwarz booth is the FSWX signal and spectrum analyser, displayed in a radar and electronic warfare (EW) test scenario within the context of electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO), focused on DRFM-based jammers. In this setup, an R&S SMW200A vector signal generator simulates radar signals, while the FSWX uses its multi channel architecture to analyse jammer input and output signals simultaneously for a comprehensive assessment of deceptive signal behaviour. The new, fully integrated R&S FSWX-KM700 pulse analysis option measures both channels in parallel and provides detailed insight into pulsed radar parameters, differences between the channels and the parameter trends over time.
In a second demonstration, Rohde & Schwarz will show how its high-frequency test capabilities can be extended into the E-band and beyond, up to 110 GHz, to characterise challenging high-frequency components. The demonstration combines the fully calibrated R&S FE110ST external frontend with the R&S SFI100A wideband IF vector signal generator, enabling wideband signal generation and testing for demanding high-frequency applications. The setup can support the testing of satellite components for new payload and link-generation applications, while helping engineers accurately characterise the RF behaviour of the device under test (DUT).
Advanced testing for low-noise sources and high-power RF frontendsRohde & Schwarz will also showcase the enhanced R&S FSWP phase noise analyser and VCO tester platform for advanced component characterization. With support for residual and absolute phase noise measurements up to 56 GHz and further improved internal reference, R&S FSWP-B62, the solution offers high flexibility for testing synthesizers, OCXOs, DROs, VCOs and two-port components such as amplifiers. New options for integrating external signal sources as local oscillators can dramatically accelerate measurements, in some cases by up to a factor of 1,000, making the R&S FSWP well suited for the development of low-noise signal sources for radar, satellite, base station and high-speed digital applications.
Rohde & Schwarz will also present the new R&S SAM200 system amplifier for high-power test applications in the Ka- and V band up to 53 GHz. In radar, satellite link and backhaul applications, RF frontends must deliver higher power levels so signals can travel farther and cover larger distances. Designed to support validation of these components, the amplifier extends test setups with higher signal power while maintaining precise and reliable level control. At EuMW, Rohde & Schwarz will showcase the R&S SAM200 in two demonstrations: one characterizing a high-power Ka-band amplifier with the R&S ZNA vector network analyser in a fully integrated and calibrated test setup, and another highlighting the amplifier’s linearity in a wideband modulated test scenario with the R&S SMW200A vector signal generator and the FSW signal and spectrum analyser.
Scalable test for SATCOM and phased-array systemsAt EuMW, Rohde & Schwarz will also highlight the R&S ZNB3000 vector network analyzer for measurement applications in satellite communications, Earth observation and radio astronomy. Its wide dynamic range and low trace noise provide the sensitivity required for demanding antenna characterization and radar measurements. For higher-frequency applications, optional millimeter wave converters extend coverage up to 330 GHz, including bands used by microwave and millimeter wave radiometers. Together, these capabilities make the R&S ZNB3000 a versatile and cost-effective solution for a broad range of measurement needs in the satellite and space sectors.
Micro-Doppler emulation for emerging sensing use casesWith the AREG800A radar target generator, Rohde & Schwarz will showcase new test capabilities addressing use cases like 6G integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). As 6G networks evolve beyond data connectivity toward environmental awareness, ISAC is emerging as a key technology for detecting and classifying objects using mobile infrastructure. In addition to emulating distance, speed and radar cross section (RCS), the solution can also generate micro-Doppler signatures, enabling more realistic test scenarios for applications such as drone detection and supporting the development of advanced sensing capabilities.
Rohde & Schwarz at EuMW 2026Visitors will find Rohde & Schwarz at booth B10 at Excel London from October 6 to 8, 2026, where they can learn how next-generation test solutions support engineers from component characterization to system-level validation across radar, satellite, wireless and aerospace and defense applications. In addition, experts from the company will contribute to the EuMW 2026 with presentations and workshops as part of the European Microwave Conference (EuMC) as well as the European Radar Conference (EuRAD).

Single coil slayer exciter
| The "slayer exciter" circuit is the classic introduction to SSTCs. I really wanted a version with just one coil because once you eliminate the loosely coupled resonant transformer, you end up with a greatly simplified design. It basically drives a series resonant circuit through a RF choke, using a coupling capacitor as feedback. I'm not the first to think of that but there was always something or other that I didn't like about other people's designs so this version might be my own :) I encourage you to try it, let me know if you can get the thing to at least light a neon bulb or something. My tiny axial inductors aren't handling the power well 🔥 And btw component values are "for demonstration only", do not assume they're optimal! [link] [comments] |
