The CRA’s Challenge for Embedded Developers

The EU's Cyber Resilience Act demands proof of secure-by-design development. Can embedded component creators deliver transparency and compliance without killing engineering flexibility?


Introduction to Non-Uniform Quantization in Pulse-Code Modulation Systems

Introduction to Non-Uniform Quantization in Pulse-Code Modulation Systems

Uniform quantization adds the same noise power at every level, so SNR collapses for soft speech. See how compressing the signal first makes noise track signal power and holds SNR steady.
