From Revolutionary to Tragedy: Edwin Howard Armstrong
Tue, 25 Aug 2026 13:46:34 | Mini-Circuits Life
Edwin Howard Armstrong was an American electrical engineer best known for having invented foundational electronic circuits still used in moder radio, radar and television. These inventions include the regenerative circuits, the superheterodyne circuit, and the FM radio. The regenerative circuit was the first amplifying receiver and the first reliable continuous-wave transmitter, while his crowning achievement, the FM radio, revolutionized the way people listened to news and music.

The Unsung Hero: Life & Legacy of Oliver Heaviside
Wed, 19 Aug 2026 16:13:50 | Mini-Circuits Life
Oliver Heaviside was a British, self-taught mathematician, physicist and electrical engineer who, although made great contributions to both mathematics and telegraphy, flew under the radar and is now eclipsed by other more well-known names such as James Clerk Maxwell. Heaviside created the four vector-form equations that we now know today as Maxwell’s equations, and also formulated the Telegrapher’s Equations, which detail how voltages and currents propagate as waves along a long-distance circuit or transmission line often used for telegraphs in the late 1800s to early 1900s.

AN-50-018: Building a High-Performance S-band Upconverter with Mini-Circuits Components
Tue, 18 Aug 2026 18:54:50 | Filters
A frequency upconverter is used to shift a signal’s frequency to a higher frequency so that the signal can be efficiently transmitted. Frequency upconverters are often built as complex integrated assemblies that consist of various components, including amplifiers, filters, mixers, etc. In this application note, we show how a high-performance S-band upconverter can be designed exclusively using components from Mini-Circuits. To validate the performance, measured data is shown at the conclusion.
