Rad-hard GaN power transistors
GaN transistors have been designed for critical applications in the high reliability or commercial satellite space environments. The family of 40 to 300V radiation hardened (rad-hard) GaN transistors are by EPC Space and range from 4.0 to 30A.
CyBox RT 3-W router with WiFi 5 Wave 2 interface
With the CyBox RT 3-W, ELTEC Elektronik has developed a new robust, maintenance-free router certified according to EN 50155 for applications in railway technology. It is especially designed for 5G communication and thus for high-speed Internet applications in the mobile radio standard of the future.
Opportunity for IoT combining LoRaWAN and WiFi
Selecting an intelligent multi-radio strategy is becoming increasingly important to succeed in a connected world, as illustrated in a new whitepaper recently released by the LoRa Alliance and Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA). The paper, ‘WiFi & LoRaWAN Trials - An Overview of Use Cases Across Regions Combining Two Technologies,’ provides details on practical trials and proof of concept deployments (POCs), representing a variety o...
Safety-critical GNSS augmentation with powerful L-band satellite links
Sapcorda Services has announced that testing of its first global navigation satellite system (GNSS) augmentation services for L-band satellite signal is underway in North America and Europe, laying the foundation for its December 1st, 2020 launch of the GNSS augmentation signal for safety-critical navigation in autonomous vehicles and machinery.
MoD enhancing livestream tech for military operations
The Ministry of Defence is accelerating its searchable, video-streaming and imagery exploitation capabilities across secure military networks to benefit its missions worldwide. Taking inspiration from commercial video-streaming models used by Netflix, Amazon and the BBC, the MOD’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) is working with British data specialists, Envitia to create a system that can bring together multiple feeds into ...
New 60A-rated 8.5mm-pitch power connector from Harwin
Harwin has significantly raised the power levels that its pitch power connector product portfolio can support with the introduction of the Kona series. These 8.5mm pitch connectors’ contacts are capable of delivering 60A of current. This means that applications such as battery charging can be addressed without having to split the current across multiple contacts.
How GPS tech is bringing atomic timing to industrial applications
How on earth, you might wonder, can GPS receivers use weak electromagnetic signals emitted from distant satellites to determine its position to within just a few meters (or even centimeters)? To a large extent, it’s because they are excellent timing devices that determine their position based on the time it takes for the satellite signals to reach them from orbit.
Twisted & shielded cabling solutions for Gecko products
To address safety and mission critical applications, where continued data integrity is of paramount importance, Harwin now offers additional cable assembly services for its Gecko product series. Produced on-demand, these assemblies provide greater resilience against ambient electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk from neighbouring wiring.
ESA launches a small satellite carrying VTT’s remote sensing technology
The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched 42 tiny satellites aboard a Vega rocket. It took off from ESA’s launch site in French Guiana on 2nd September local time. One of the launched nanosatellites, PICASSO, carries remote sensing technology developed and built by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. It will be used to take scientific measurements in the upper layers of the atmosphere.
Whitepaper helps design engineers find an advantage
Precision Micro has launched a new whitepaper to educate and inform design engineers unfamiliar with the process about its enhanced potential – including its ability to enhance quality, reduce lead times and cut costs, without compromise.
