Did you ever work on their microwave receiver designs?

Hello, Mike,

I had a little experience with some military L-band RF design (JTIDS), but
that is about all. I have also designed miniature lumped-element filters
for the 3 GHz region. But most of my work and also my ham radio experience
have been at HF. Also, I am mostly, but not entirely, an analog specialist,
which has put me somewhat into the Jurassic Age.

Not really. Newly minted engineers know remarkably little about analog
techniques. Yet at the beginning and the end of circuits stuff usually
needs to connect to the analog world. So don't be surprised when someone
begs you to do just one more stint when you are past 90.

Then again a SW engineer once told me that nothing is truly analog.
There is always that smallest digital step, the quantum.

So, digital is base two, and analog is base 1.6 x 10^19? ;-)

Not really. Analog's bits are just smaller. ;-)

That's what he said... 10^18 smaller

Hello Tim,

Still, the digital guys kept telling us "Some day we'll get there and
then you are going to be extinct". I am not worried at all...

We've been getting half the way there every two years or so. ;-)
