What do Direct RF, next generation signal processing, and the acoustic wonder of spider webs have in common? This here podcast! Noah Donaldson (CTO - Annapolis Micro Systems) joins me this week to chat about why Direct RF is a game changer for signal acquisition and processing. We also discuss the challenges inherent with Direct RF, the biggest benefits of this technology, and where Noah sees Direct RF headed in the future. Also this week, I examine new research from Binghamton University that contends that  spider web acoustic sensing could lend itself to great strides in high-sensitivity, long-distance sound detection.
