RF Spectrum Analyzers are Truly Handheld
Aim-TTi have launched a new series of handheld RF spectrum analyzers, the PSA Series II. Available in 1.3GHz and 2.7GHz versions, the new instruments are smaller, lighter and have longer battery life than other handheld RF products. Whereas a typical “handheld” spectrum analyzer weighs over 2kg (4.4lb) and is considerable wider than a hand width, the PSA Series II weighs only 560 grms (20oz) and is just 9.2cm (3.6”) wide, fitting perfectly ...
U7100 Pressure Transducer
Measurement Specialties has just released its new U7100 pressure transducer for high volume industrial, engine and vehicle applications. Offering a pressure range from 0 to 15, up to 150 psi (10 Bar), this rugged automotive grade stainless steel pressure sensor has an operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and is water resistant up to 1M immersion.

180°C universal accelerometers from Brüel & Kjær
Brüel & Kjær has released a new CCLD accelerometer, Type Type 4527, that can operate at a continuous temperature of 180°C, making it ideally suited for automotive powertrain uses. Type 4527 has wide dynamic, frequency and temperature ranges, making the transducer well-suited to general-purpose use. It has low sensitivity to electro-magnetic interference due to low output impedance and also features a very low noise floor. All o...
ADI 180-MSPS DACs Integrate Complex Waveform Generation Function
Analog Devices introduce the AD9106 quad-channel, 12-bit, and the AD9102 single-channel, 14-bit, 180-MSPS waveform generators, integrating on-chip static random access memory and direct digital synthesis for complex waveform generation. ADI’s new D/A converters generate the high-speed, high-dynamic-range, multichannel complex waveforms required in applications such as ultrasound transducer excitation, medical instrumentation, portable instr...

Control and connectivity considerations in the design of smart meters by Jonathan Page, MSC Gleichmann - Part 2
As we saw in the first part of this series of articles, the replacement of traditional electricity, gas, water and other meters with smart meters is being driven by utility companies and governments for a variety of reasons. Lying behind this is the ‘ideal’ of conserving our use of natural resources through the intelligence that comes from having more immediate access to data along with the means to apply appropriate controls.
