Rohde and Schwarz AMIQ Modulation Generator Teardown

news.ycombinator.com Electronics Etc... 2025-11-22 00:51:27

Introduction Every few months, a local company auctions off all kinds of lab, production and test equipment. I shouldn’t be subscribed to their email list but I am, and that’s one way I end up with more stuff that I don’t really need. During a recent auction, I got my hands on a Rohde & Schwarz AMIQ, an I/Q modulation generator, for a grand total of $45. Add to that another 30% for the auction fee and taxes and you’re still paying much less than what others would pay for a round of golf? But i

In case of emergency, break glass

A few observations after Apple’s WWDC25 keynote The title of my article obviously refers to the new UI Apple presented on 9 June, which they call Liquid Glass. I won’t beat around the bush: my very first impression is that we’re in UI emergency territory, but we won’t be able to break this particular glass. Only Apple can, and obviously they won’t because they’re very proud of it. I truly don’t know where to begin with my observations, as I’m still trying to rein in my many reactions to what I

Microsoft Office migration from Source Depot to Git

After going in deep in product, I found myself drawn to a different challenge: making other developers more productive. As one of my biggest mentors would always say: “Developer productivity is always ‘Multiplier work’, especially in places where you have a lot of developers. By saving a couple minutes from every developer, every day, you’ve saved years of human life waiting for stuff.” The project that really forged me was the Office migration from Source Depot to Git.

Build a minimal decorator with Ruby in 30 minutes A few weeks ago, I needed to add some view-related methods to an object. Decorators are my go-to pattern to handle this kind of logic. Normally, I’d use the draper gem to build decorators. But the app I’m working on used an older and incompatible version of Rails. So I built a minimal decorator from scratch, added a bunch of extra behaviors, only to end up abstracting all of these away. Follow along! What I’m working with My Teacher class ha

It’s not like they threw everything out the window – it still has that core Angular reliability and the ability to handle really big projects.

The Best Motherboards: AMD and Intel

From day one, a stand out which we featured in our early 10th-gen coverage is the MSI MAG Z490 Tomahawk, it's a great quality motherboard priced at $190. In our testing, the Z490 Tomahawk peaked at just 74 degrees running a Core i9-10900K clocked at 5.1 GHz using 1.35v, so you don't need to spend big money to get the most out of Intel's new 10-core processor, despite the fact that it is extremely power hungry when
