@pallavaggarwal or @Umesh Lokhande would be good resources.

I was looking at Pallav's blog and there's some brief mention of it but nothing in depth. Do you have any specific questions or just looking for an overview?

There are generic steps you can follow to stay compliant with the latest RoHS directives that can be found online e.g these blogs
- https://tetrainspection.com/rohs-compliance/
- https://environment.ec.europa.eu/topics/waste-and-recycling/rohs-directive_en
Not-so-popular advice is to consult compliance experts or certification bodies in the target geo in the specific product segment like in ur case wireless technologies.

I do that all the time

Oh that's even better

Marvee Amasi•11/28/24, 4:53 AM

Sometimes, it’s just pure guesswork

Marvee Amasi•11/28/24, 4:54 AM

And hoping for the best

ZacckOsiemo•11/28/24, 5:02 AM

if you are guessing and hoping then you are in the wrong field

guessing can actually work sometimes

ZacckOsiemo•11/28/24, 7:21 AM

RF is just math people trying to pretend that they are normal engineers

I would love to be an RFID expert but I read one of their standards and feel like I have never gone to school

melta101•11/28/24, 7:24 AM

it's a niche subject

The Strange Kafka World of the EU AI Act

The regulation needs repealing

If this AI regulation takes root in Europe, we are totally screwed. By "we", I mean anyone here trying to use AI in a product.

Europe seems to be in self sabotage from regulation in many aspects

Umesh Lokhande•11/28/24, 8:34 AM

This will surely increase the risk for tech entrepreneurs. But the next question is what about service providers who uses AI to fulfill their EU clients All together will slow down innovation.

madness•11/28/24, 1:47 PM

there has never been a better time to get into rf. you can buy budget spectrum analyzers and vector network analyzers for like $100, where a used one used to cost $5,000 and up, meaning, the equipment you need to understand, measure, and work with RF is actually attainable now for anyone. also there is so much info online now, youtube and such, and so many cheap development kits. all you have to do is give it the time it takes to learn and understand and it will all come together. it will also open a whole new world because it applies to anything that is AC. even looking at reactive power on the grid at 60 hz, that's not rf but you would have a better understanding because the "magical" things happen when you go from dc to ac.

melta101•11/28/24, 4:03 PM

true, it is great time for it.
but there are still lack of open source resources in terms of models for designing these cicruit

for one instance, we were working on creating a half duplex RF circuit on ADS and genesys. where most of the time went on stalling due to many people not having the required models for few IC such as LPF and Amp with them. we had create custom one from there...
