Elektor India MAGAZINE Aug-Sept 2011
This issue our focus is on test & measurement (T&M). This domain has come a long way from simple analog reading devices to OSAs. Given the fact that the world is headed for a wireless ecosystem, I see RF measurement to be taking large strides in the days to come.

I hope our readers will appreciate the projects & articles that we tried to bring together. I want to thank our discerned readers for giving us quality feedback on how we should go about in print & online domains. We have taken your word and are looking at ways to add such useful feedback .
