Sales and operations planning (S&OP) to Integrated Sales, Inventory, Operations and Planning (SIOP) process

November 12, 2022 Doctrine & Strategy, Industry, Manufacturing Comments Off on Sales and operations planning (S&OP) to Integrated Sales, Inventory, Operations and Planning (SIOP) process

Sales and operations planning (S&OP) is an integrated planning process that aligns demand, supply, and financial planning and is managed as part of a company’s master planning. S&OP is designed and executed to support executive decision-making related to approving a feasible and profitable material and financial plan. The sales …

PCB Design consideration for aerospace and military applications

November 12, 2022 Electronics & EW, Industry, Manufacturing Comments Off on PCB Design consideration for aerospace and military applications

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the foundational building block of most modern electronic devices on which all of the other electronic components are assembled onto. A circuit card is a thin, flat piece of dielectric material that has conductive paths or traces etched on it. These conductive circuits – usually …

Microwave Networks

November 11, 2022 Electronics & EW Comments Off on Microwave Networks

Microwave networks consist of many ports. For example, in phased arrays, which are used in 5G wireless communication in base stations, we often have systems that can even have 100s or 1000s of ports, input-output ports. We need to come up with a concept to describe much more complex microwave …

Control System Design and Analysis

November 10, 2022 Electronics & EW Comments Off on Control System Design and Analysis

A system, whose output can be managed, controlled or regulated by varying its input is called Control System. If we look around, we will find many control systems in our surroundings i.e. Refrigerator, Air Conditions, Washing Machines etc. An automatic speed control system, also called cruise control, works by …

DARPA’s T-MUSIC developing revolutionary THz Mixed mode Integrated circuits and System on Chips(SOC) for Military Terahertz radar and Communications

November 8, 2022 Electronics & EW, Manufacturing Comments Off on DARPA’s T-MUSIC developing revolutionary THz Mixed mode Integrated circuits and System on Chips(SOC) for Military Terahertz radar and Communications

Integrated circuits (ICs) are generally classified as digital (e.g. a microprocessor) or analog (e.g. an operational amplifier). Mixed-signal ICs are chips that contain both digital and analog circuits on a single semiconductor die. Mixed-signal ICs also process both analog and digital signals together. For example, an analog-to-digital converter is a …
