- Here are some more that I haven't seen mentioned yet.
-
- >Nuts and Volts
- Content: The want ads for the electronics underground. Recently added some
- article and columns, which range from trivial to incomprehensible, with some
- good stuff inbetween.
- Disadvantage: A lot of ads ;-)
-
- >Computer Applications Journal (also know as Circuit Cellar Ink)
- Content: Practical applications of microcomputers, (with a higher quality of
- engineering than the average in Radio-Electronics). Along with some theory
- articles covering things like how to synthesize holograms. Like an
- older copy of Byte, without the reviews (so it's about 1/4 the size ;-) ).
-
- Trade Press magazines.
-
- >Electronics Design
- >EDN
- >Electronics Products
-
- Content: What's new and how to use it.
- Disadvantage: Controlled circulation. Qualify or forget it (or pay a lot
- of money)
-
- >Personal Engineering and Instrumentation News.
- Content: Personal Computers as applied to engineering.
- Interest areas -> Design and Development - CAD = EDA (Electronic
- Design Automation), Logic Synthesis (PALASM, CUPL, ABEL), Compilers
- -> Data Acquistion and Control - Data collection,
- process control
- -> Test and Analysis - Logic analyzers plugins,
- Oscope boards, graphing and display.
- Good columns on DSP, Embedded Techniques, etc.
- Disadvantage: Mostly new product releases.
