Releasing source is something of a thorny problem in today's software patented, highly litigious society. Suppose that their source contains some patented...
actually the attenuators are generic 8493C attenuators, there is nothing special about it but the HP Part# on them ! Usually they are measured on a VNA and the...

I have been writing software for 23 years now and I can count on my fingers - with plenty left over the amount of times I have been to a code review. In the...
