The proliferation of wireless charging technology throughout Europe has accelerated during the last couple of years, fuelled in part by the increased availability of standardised wireless charging in mobile devices. But which standard will prevail? By Morten Kreiberg Block, Marketing & Engineering Director, Nordic, Arrow Electronics.

Designed for use in applications requiring low PIM, a range of mini-DIN 4.1/9.5 adapters has been announced by Fairview Microwave.

Nintendo has utilised the SC14448 and SC14492 chips from Dialog Semiconductor for their Wii U Wireless Microphone. Dialog’s technology offers interference-free connectivity, impressive battery life and reliability, and allows consumers more freedom to move, dance and jump when using the Wii U for karaoke or other games.

Expanding the company's industry leading SENCITY Rail antenna family, HUBER+SUHNER has introduced two MIMO antennas. The antennas are suited for systems integrators and rolling stock manufacturers keen to incorporate high-speed data hungry applications including on-board internet, fast mobile communications and communication based train control.

Fujitsu Laboratories and imec Holst Centre have developed a wireless transceiver circuit for use in body area networks (BAN) for medical applications that adhere to the 400MHz-band international standard. Based on this joint research, Fujitsu plans to apply it to non-medical uses, such as to the monitoring of societal infrastructure, to further enhance network front-end interface technologies.

  Available in both X7R and NP0 (C0G) options, the High Voltage Multilayer Ceramic (MLC) Chip Capacitor series from AVX has been expanded. The capacitor series now offers voltages of 600-5000V and capacitance values of 1.5pF-0.82µF in case sizes covering 0805-3640.
