1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to the deep dive. This is where we

2
00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:04.639
<v Speaker 1>take the sources you send us, dive in and pull

3
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.480
<v Speaker 1>out the key insights for you. Our goal is always

4
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>to help you get informed, you know, quickly, and maybe

5
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.359
<v Speaker 1>find something surprising along the way. So today we've got

6
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>a file you submitted. The title is excerpts from Radio

7
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Frequency Integrated Circuit SAND Technologies two thousand and seven thousand, p.

8
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Five hundred and eighteen dot pdf. So sounds pretty technical,

9
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't it. Radio frequency stuff specific page. I'm actually quite

10
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>curious to see what insights are hiding in there.

11
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm ready. Let's set the size whatever we can

12
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.600
<v Speaker 2>dig up. That title, like you said, suggests something very

13
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>specific should be interesting.

14
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, then let's unpack this. I'm just pulling up the

15
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 1>file now.

16
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, it's not quite what I was expecting.

17
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh what are you seeing or not seeing?

18
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.479
<v Speaker 2>Well, it looks like it's kind of blank or maybe

19
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 2>it's just a weird characters that don't make sense.

20
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 1>Let me see huh interesting, Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing.

21
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Appears to be well, essentially empty space, maybe some garbled

22
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>data exactly. There's no actual text, no diagrams, certainly no

23
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 1>equations I can make out just nothing really, some odd

24
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 1>symbols maybe, but no information.

25
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>So page five eighteen of this two thousand and seven

26
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 2>RFIC text, it seems to have absolutely no factual content here,

27
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 2>no discernible information at all in this excerpt.

28
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, this is definitely a first for one of our

29
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 1>deep dives, isn't it.

30
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>It is a bit unusual.

31
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Our whole thing is digging into the source material you send,

32
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and well, there's literally nothing in this source for us

33
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>to actually analyze or extract knowledge from.

34
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, it seems this particular source file, you know, the

35
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.680
<v Speaker 2>one we received, it just doesn't hold the information you'd

36
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 2>expect it to. Especially with a title like Radio Frequency

37
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Integrated Circuits and Technologies from two thousand and seven, page

38
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.280
<v Speaker 2>five eighteen, you definitely anticipate something.

39
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 1>Totally definitions, maybe circuit diagrams, perhaps some formulas or explanations

40
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 1>about RFICs.

41
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly that kind of specific title. Page five eighteen.

42
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 2>You'd picture being right in the middle of a topic.

43
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like details on a specific circuit, maybe an ellen

44
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 1>or a mixer.

45
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.799
<v Speaker 2>Or maybe fabrication techniques from that time, performance characteristics, something concrete.

46
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Right, if there was content, we'd probably be discussing, you know,

47
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the challenges of high frequency design on chips back then,

48
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 1>impedance matching, noise.

49
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Issues, linearity, power consumption, all that jazz. Yeah, design trade offs,

50
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>different architectures, the kind of stuff you'd find in a

51
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:23.479
<v Speaker 2>textbook excerpt.

52
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 1>But with a blank page.

53
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all that potential insight, the specific technical details you

54
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.680
<v Speaker 2>were maybe hoping to get from page five to eighteen,

55
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 2>they're just not in this file.

56
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 1>So the only real information we've got from the specific

57
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.639
<v Speaker 1>source file is its title and the fact that the

58
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 1>content itself is completely missing.

59
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 2>So for this deep dive on excerpts from Radio Frequency

60
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Integrated Circuit SAND Technologies two thousand and seven thousand, p.

61
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.759
<v Speaker 2>Five hundred eighteen PDFs, the main takeaway, the core insight

62
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 2>extracted from the actual file.

63
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Is that there was no actual content provided in the file.

64
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.240
<v Speaker 2>It's definitely a unique result, but you know, sometimes the

65
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>discovery is simply finding out that a source you thought

66
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>would be useful isn't. It can be its own kind

67
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 2>of finding. Really the absence of data where you expect it.

68
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.479
<v Speaker 1>That's a good way to put it. It really underscores

69
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>that first step in any analysis, just making sure the

70
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 1>source is actually usable that the data is.

71
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>Exactly verify the source itself.

72
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>So look, while we couldn't pull any technical nuggets from

73
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.439
<v Speaker 1>the specific file today because while it was empty, we

74
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>still really appreciate you sending it in. It's all part

75
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>of the process, right. Sometimes files get corrupted, or they're incomplete,

76
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>or maybe just mislabeled. They don't always contain that gold

77
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>mine of info we hope for.

78
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.039
<v Speaker 2>It's a good reminder actually being well informed isn't just

79
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.039
<v Speaker 2>about finding information. It's also sometimes about realizing where the

80
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>information isn't or identifying gaps.

81
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely well said, so thanks again for joining us and

82
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 1>for sending in your sources. We're definitely looking forward to

83
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>our next deep dive, and hopefully that one will have

84
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>plenty of fascinating content for us to really sink our

85
00:03:59.039 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Keith into you together.
