The analogue microwave signal generator R&S SMA100B from Rohde & Schwarz now provides microwave signals up to 67GHz. In overrange operation, it can provide signals up to 72GHz. The instrument generates signals with lowest single sideband phase noise and highest output power with extremely low harmonics at the same time.

Mythology tells the tale ofIcarusburning his wings while flying too close to the sun.In the 16thcentury, Leonardo da Vinci sketched aflight machine, and flight became a reality in the 20thcentury.We have always looked up into the sky for new frontiers. The US government alone plans to invest $20bn by 2027 for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, infrastructure like the ISS, planet exploration and other deep-space missions.

The MDM and MDV Micro Series connectors for data, power and signal transmission from ITT Cannon are now available from TTI. Optimised to save space and weight in demanding applications, such as space vehicles, defence systems and oil exploration equipment, Micro Series Connectors are rugged and moisture-sealed.

Global provider of positioning and wireless communication technologies, u-blox, has announced the u blox ZED-F9K high precision multi-band GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) module with built-in inertial sensors. The module combines the latest generation of GNSS receiver technology, signal processing algorithms, and correction services.

Supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, Renesas Electronics, has announced a new radiation-hardened 16-channel current driver with integrated four-bit decoder for reducing the size, weight and power (SWaP) of satellite command and telemetry systems. The ISL72814SEH integrates the decoder, input level shifter, and 16 current driver arrays in a single monolithic IC.

Supplier of crystal oscillators for space, military, avionics and high-temperature applications, Q-Tech Corporation, has introduced the QT780 Series of space qualified crystal oscillators, designed for use as primary clocks in low earth orbit, small communications and broadcasting satellites.

Satellites provide vast quantities of data. While these data are processed and used by scientists and analysts to understand and monitor Earth, they are also carefully archived.

IoT software provider for critical infrastructure, Wind River, has announced that satellite startup Astranis Space Technologies is using VxWorks real-time operating system for its next generation satellite that will deliver cost-effective high-speed internet to underserved markets.

Let's start from the begining, the earliestPCBs were very much works of art.Etched by hand, they owed more to technology from artwork reproduction than to high tech.To create these circuits copper-clad boards were used. The artwork was hand-drawn, and once the track layout was defined, it was printed onto the board as an etch-resist mask. Acid was next used to etch away the exposed copper before another chemical removed the etch resist.

For World Water Day ESA take a look at ways that space can help this global challenge.
