Phase noise is one of those RF topics that can get confusing fast. Last year, I wrote a short article about it for the "Hardware Thrashers of X" zine. I’m publishing it here now for anyone who might find it useful. Link in the comments.

Simple web uploader for firmware on WCH CH32. Originally made by AlexanderMandera. Adapted by me for my main board project, I added my own web solution and made it use USBHS. Link to Alex version👇🏻

openwifi (the open-source Wi-Fi chip/FPGA) is great! What an impressive tutorial "How a Wifi chip works internally" form DanielAW in #GPN22 2024-06-02 (media.ccc.de/v/gpn22-380-how…). Openwifi as the only Linux compatible soft-MAC Wi-Fi open chip example helps this tutorial!
