In 2022, our engineering experts worked hard to provide their insights into the latest industry trends and challenges as well as teach the basics of the technology and engineering powering your most important applications. We hope you found our insights valuable and thank you for turning to us to learn about the industry. Here are the top five blog posts of the year.
RF circuits for applications in the mmWave range (30 to 300 GHz) require high-performance filtering to meet the high-data, high-speed functionality that operating at these higher frequencies guarantees. However, filters for devices operating in the mmWave range will not function optimally if your printed circuit board (PCB) is misconfigured. For this reason, RF design engineers need to make critical PCB decisions to address a few common issues. Read more.
Knowles Precision Devices President, Chris Dugan, had the opportunity to share his thoughts on the industry with Central Upstate MFG. In the article, Chris shared what makes Knowles Precision Devices different from our competitors; some of the factors that have contributed to our success; how we approach recruitment, training, and development; and the biggest challenges facing the industry today.

Space missions present a unique set of challenges that demand high reliability down to the smallest electronic components. Everything from in-flight systems to power supplies must maintain high quality and safety standards for long durations. In this blog, we cover details on the three most important specifications for high reliability in space: NASA EEE-INST-002, ESCC 3009, and MIL-PRF-123. Read more.
Trimmer capacitors are variable components used to calibrate RF circuits during manufacturing or servicing. Should values drift over the life of a device, trimmer capacitors can be recalibrated. For sensitive applications like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), these components optimize performance for reliable image output. Trimmer capacitor tuning is critical in MRI accuracy. Read more.
Our Filter Basics series was created to help you understand the concepts all filters share to help you simplify your future filtering decisions. Our first post in the series defines the basic properties impacting capacitor and inductor performance including resistance, capacitance, inductance, and impedance. Read more.
