Full Course for EE/CS Students and Beginners Here is a practical learning idea for SARC members who enjoy electronics, programming, test equipment, or station automation. The linked STM32 course starts with basic embedded-system concepts and builds toward hands-on projects. You do not need to be an electrical engineering (EE) or computer science (CS) student to …

Could Quantum Computing Change Radio and Antenna Designs? Here is a forward-looking technology question for SARC members: could quantum computing eventually change the way engineers design radios, antennas, filters, and digital communication systems? IBM and several research partners recently reported three quantum-computing results that they say reached beyond leading classical methods while adding new ways …

Understanding Electromagnetic Waves Here is a useful physics idea for Schaumburg Amateur Radio Club (SARC) members: every on-air contact begins with an electromagnetic wave. Voice, continuous wave (CW) Morse code, and digital signals all depend on radio-frequency (RF) energy traveling from a transmitting antenna to a receiving antenna. Understanding that path makes frequency, wavelength, polarization, …

Proba-3 Reveals the Sun’s Inner Corona Here is a fascinating Sun-watching idea for SARC members. The European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission uses two spacecraft to create artificial solar eclipses in orbit. These long eclipses let scientists study a difficult-to-see part of the Sun’s atmosphere where the solar wind develops and space weather begins. That matters …
