Feature articles are written by working design engineers and are highly technical in content. The articles should be in-depth presenting design information down to the component level. Buyer's guides examine specific third party product areas. Readers can decide if a product category is useful to their design, and, if so, which products to select for in-house evaluation. Product guides are written only by working design engineers or consultant, not vendors.
Columns offer monthy information briefs on topics important to many communications design engineers.
Rngineers, instructors, analysts, or consultants, all experts in their chosen field, write the columns. Departments include articles covering technology, letters from our readers, and new product announcements. The magazine also publishes special sections focusing on specific trends and an Emerging Technologies series that looks at new and promising technology. See our Editorial Calendar for more. We strive to maintain our editorial position at the leading edge of technology journalism, meaning we don't write just about the plain vanilla technology, we write about how it's implemented in the most innovatve way for communications products.
