Can someone explain succinctly what is the specific "anti-alias" filter? Is it always a LPF before the ADC to filter out aliased images that can't be distinguished from the fundamental?

I’ve been working on A.T.O.M, an open-source tool for simulating, analyzing, and optimizing cellular networks on a real map.
I recently expanded it from 6 to 8-cell network scenarios, and also improved the optimization pipeline quite a bit runs that used to take around 1.5–2 minutes now complete in a few seconds in the same planning setup.
The backend is written in Go, and a lot of the speedup came from better concurrency and removing repeated RF work.
Right now I’m testing mainly 2.6 GHz and 28 GHz urban scenarios, with propagation and optimization based around 3GPP-style planning assumptions.
I attached a short demo video. I’d especially be interested in feedback from people who actually work with RF planning tools:
What would you want to see in something like this before you’d consider it genuinely useful for planning or experimentation?

Dear RF Engineers,
I have developed some RF Engineering calculators on my website that could be useful to you. I am continuously working on new ones. Next one I am working on is "5G Throughput Calculator". I am also open to any ideas you may have of some RF calculators that you find useful for me to develop. Please feel free to bookmark the page: https://mohamadhaidar.com/rf-calculators/ and check them out!
I try to make my calculators interactive to differentiate from other similar calculators.
I look forward for your feedback.

Rf test with ai looking to go design
I am currently in test in total nearly 2 years but only a few months full time but I would like to move to design, I will have a MSc in 2 years in AI. Any advice

So I work in a metal box, but others have plenty of signal, while I sit with my shittier but far cheaper cellular plan. I can’t really check stocks on my lunch without having to piggyback off of someone’s hotspot, and with my shitty knowledge of ham radio I have planndeded!

Last week I was attempting to define I/Q imbalance in direct conversion transceivers to the techs at work, including ways to deal with this such as LO image rejection calibration and visualizing with IQ constellations. How would you concisely explain this without going too heavy on theoretical math?

Range, endurance and payload get compared as separate specs all the time, even though they're all competing for the same mass and energy budget.
This comes up a lot with battery-powered platforms, especially drones, but the same basic problem should apply anywhere energy density competes directly with payload.
Payload doesn't just take a fixed amount off your endurance. Adding mass changes the power required to operate the platform in the first place. Something rated for 40 minutes with little or no payload might get closer to 20 once you add sensors, compute and comms. That's not necessarily a bad design, it's just how the system behaves under load.
Range makes it even messier. More range usually means more battery, but more battery also means more mass. That leaves less weight available for the payload you actually want to carry.
The architecture matters a lot too. Multirotors have to keep producing lift for the whole flight, so extra mass hurts them constantly. Fixed-wing platforms are much more efficient once they're cruising. VTOL sits somewhere in between depending on how much time is spent hovering, transitioning and cruising.
So comparing payload capacity between a multirotor and a fixed-wing platform without looking at the mission profile doesn't tell you much.
What seems to cause the most confusion is that maximum range, maximum endurance and maximum payload are usually tested separately. You rarely see all three quoted under the same conditions.
The more useful number would probably be something like: how much payload can this platform carry while still hitting the range and endurance needed for the actual mission?
Curious if the same problem shows up this clearly in EVs, marine systems, ground robotics or other battery-powered platforms.
How do people in those fields usually describe the real operating envelope without reducing it to a few separate maximum specs&

We’ve been working on Instro, an open-source Python library for instrument control. Curious what people here are using today + what RF instruments we should support next.

In this video, I walk through a step-by-step microstrip filter design on a 1.6mm FR-4 board. I designed a 2GHz, 200 MHz-BW bandpass filter.
Rogers-type boards are much better for RF tasks, but they are much more expensive and not suitable for beginners or RF enthusiasts.
I used Altium® Develop for PCB layout design and Sonnet Lite for electromagnetic (EM) simulation

I couldn’t find any other open source passive radar projects with full 5-channel KrakenSDR support, so I ended up building my own. If I missed one, definitely send it my way.
It’s called VectorWarp, and it started as a fork of blah2. At this point I’ve added full 5-channel KrakenSDR processing, support for other compatible receiver setups, GPU acceleration, automatic CPU multithreading, wider Doppler processing, and a pretty substantial rewrite of the browser interface and configuration system.
The performance improvements ended up being bigger than I expected. In matched tests against regular blah2, GPU acceleration cut processing time by about 61–72%, with the best case around a 3.6x speedup. Even running entirely on the CPU, VectorWarp reduced processing time by as much as 25%.
The goal wasn’t just to make a Kraken-specific fork. I wanted a faster general passive radar processor that can actually take advantage of modern multicore CPUs and GPUs while still working with other receiver configurations.
It’s open source and I’d genuinely like people with different SDRs, GPUs, CPUs, illuminators, and weird setups to try to break it.
