Subject: From Drones to RF Twins: Your July Engineering Briefing Is Here
Analog Devices - Analog Dialogue
July 2026
Engineering Insights Built for the Challenges You're Actually Facing
The July issue of Analog Dialogue is live—and it's packed with the kind of technically rigorous, application-driven content you won't find anywhere else.
This month's featured article tackles a question every industrial UAV designer eventually confronts: why redundant inertial architectures from crewed aviation make sense for drones, and how to make them work under strict SWaP constraints. This issue also covers RF, power, and data converters. EM-Plugs delivers a simulation-based alternative to costly board builds for high-frequency RF IC design. On the power side, we quantify the effects of metal encroaching on leakage flux in high-density converters, with three practical mitigation strategies. And we publish rare, measured validation data on ADC SFDR improvements across phased array channels—typically closely held and hard to come by.
In the EngineerZone blog, find out why polynomial models fall short for modern power amplifier linearization, and how neural network-based DPD may be the answer your PA has been waiting for.
Explore the full issue and discover what's driving the next wave of engineering innovation.

Game of Drones—Part 1: How IMU Navigation Architectures Make or Break a Drone
Why would an industrial UAV designer replicate the redundant inertial architectures used in crewed aviation—and how is that even practical given the strict size, weight, and power constraints of a drone?
