Optical fibre sensor enables detection of structural damage
A research group including members from Tokyo Institute of Technology and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science have developed a real-time fibre-optic distributed sensing system for strain and temperature. The system requires light injection from only one end of the fiber and can achieve a sampling rate of 100 kHz, an improvement of over 5,000 times the conventional rate.
Plastic packaged PIN diode control devices are launched
The availability of a series of plastic packaged PIN diode control products has been announced byMicrosemi Corporation, leveraging the company’s 50-year history supplying PIN diode products for challenging Radio Frequency (RF) power, small signal switching and receiver power limiting functions.
Alternative storage concepts for better quantum memories
Conventional memories used in today’s computers only differentiate between the bit values 0 and 1. In quantum physics, however, arbitrary superpositions of these two states are possible. Most of the ideas for new quantum technology devices rely on this “Superposition Principle”. One of the main challenges in using such states is that they are usually short-lived. Only for a short period of time can information be read out of qua...
Antenna synthesis and optimisation features on show at MWE
During the Microwave Workshops & Exhibition 2016 (MWE 2016) taking place in Yokohama, Japan from 30thNovember-2ndDecember 2016,NI AWR Design Environment will be showcased.
Global agreement supports expansion of United Silicon Carbide's products
Richardson Electronics has announced a distribution agreement with United Silicon Carbide, a manufacturer for SiC devices located in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey. This global agreement supports the expansion of USCi’s products to new customers.
Students learn microwave amplifier design
Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences (UAS) is the largest UAS in Finland. Founded in 2008 as the result of the merger of two universities in the Helsinki region, the Helsinki Metropolia UAS has almost 17,000 students, of which approximately 50% study programs in electrical engineering and automation technology. The students in the degree program select electronics, automation technology, or electrical power engineering studies as th...
Optical clock technology tested in space for first time
For the first time, an optical clock has traveled to space, surviving harsh rocket launch conditions and successfully operating under the microgravity that would be experienced on a satellite. This demonstration brings optical clock technology much closer to implementation in space, where it could eventually allow GPS-based navigation with centimeter-level location precision.
Massive-element active antenna system supports 28GHz band
A prototype of a massive-element (approximately 500 elements) Active Antenna System (AAS) for base stations that supports 28GHz band has been developed by NEC Corporation, with a view toward the application of 5G, the next-gen wireless communication standard.
Temperature sensor meets space constrained designs
electronica 2016 saw AMS launch its new ENS210, a single-die sensor IC which can provide pre-calibrated measurements of relative humidity and ambient temperature.
Trends in automated test
Bob Stasonis, Director Marketing Pickering Interfaces discusses trends in automated test and finds modular platforms desirable 1. Discuss the trends in automated test? From my perspective, automated test today is highly modular in nature. While there are some areas of test that require large stand-alone instrumentation (Millimeter Wave Technology applications come to mind), that barrier for modular test is dropping. For example, when PXI first...
