Elektor Business Magazine (EBM) aims to establish a busy bidirectional link between the electronics industry and research institutions on the one hand and ambitious hardware and software developers in homelabs, startups, spinouts, and on the other. In fact the magazine is in place wherever solid guidance is required on a journey of high-tech inspiration.

The April & May 2016 edition of EBM covers the wide and hot fields of sensors and measurement, where analog design skills and deep knowledge of the foundations of electronics are highly appreciated if not an absolute requirement. For a long time, these skills were underrated compared to programming and software in general. Now, companies again discover the enormous market potential for electronic products with a real-world input, so to speak. Not surprisingly, our top contributors from Fraunhofer IIS, Sensirion (what’s in a name?), RIGOL, FLIR, Epson Europe, and European Automation confirm in their insightful articles the prominence of sensor signal processing, accurate measuring, and the rising demand for young engineers with analog skills.

Elektor Business Magazine is published synchronously in English and German, with a printed copy supplied to Elektor GOLD members in Europe (English edition), and a free download for everyone else to pull from our website (see ‘ATTACHMENT’ below).
