Energy harvesting enables battery-free IoT devices, reducing waste and improving efficiency. Qorvo and e-peas demonstrate this with a smart, Matter-enabled light switch powered by indoor light.

QAS series devices are designed with a single-device RC network in a compact package, while also reducing spark-generated EMI/RFI.

Crest factor (CF) is the ratio of a signal's peak amplitude to its average power. Analyzing an amplifier's input and output CF values can validate linear operation or determine nonlinearities in the system.

Reverberation chambers offer a cost-effective, high-speed, and realistic alternative to anechoic chambers for EMC testing, enabled by specialized automation and data acquisition software.

RF and Microwave engineers have various options for unequal signal splitting, including Pick-Off Tees, Resistive Dividers, Directional Couplers, Rat Race, Wilkinson, and Quadrature Hybrids.

Wireless InSite simulates dynamic wireless mobility, modeling device and vehicle movement to predict multipath effects, coverage variations, and communication performance across complex environments.
