The agenda is set and registration is open for the Korea venue of the seventh annual AWR Design Forum (ADF 2017), featuring the NI AWR Design Environment suite of high-frequency design tools. This one-day event will be held in Seoul on September 7 at the Courtyard Seoul Pangyo Hotel.

Availability and full design support capabilities have been announced by Richardson RFPD for two evaluation boards from Analog Devices (ADI). The EVAL-ADuM4121 evaluation board supports ADI’s ADuM4121/ADuM4121-1 single-channel gate drivers with an integrated Miller clamp. ADI’s iCoupler technology provides isolation between the input signal and the output gate driver.

Global provider of GaN power transistors, GaN Systems, has announced the closing of an investment round led by BMW’s investment arm, BMW i Ventures. Consistent with its investment strategy, BMW i Ventures recognises that GaN Systems’ products maximise the efficiency of electronic systems while dramatically reducing size, weight and overall system cost. The investment will be used to expand global sales and accelerate new product devel...

The time has finally come that some pro-cyclists have turned to precision hybrid ceramic bearings for their low rolling resistance to give them a race day advantage over those who opt for all-steel bearings.Chris Johnson, Managing Director of specialist bearing supplier, SMB Bearings, explains this choice and explores the differences between full ceramic and hybrid bearings.

Texas Instruments has introduced an innovative three-phase, Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based inverter reference design that helps engineers build 200V, 2kW AC servo motor drives and next-generation industrial robotics with fast current-loop control, higher efficiency, more accurate speed, and torque control.

The GEN3SYS XT Pro line of high penetration drilling products has been announced by Allied Machine and Engineering.The product line features enhanced holders and inserts with three unique geometries, and two advanced coatings.

Scientists have designed and constructed a prototype for a new solar cell that integrates multiple cells stacked into a single device capable of capturing nearly all of the energy in the solar spectrum. The new design converts direct sunlight to electricity with 44.5% efficiency, giving it the potential to become the most efficient solar cell in the world.The approach is different from the solar panels one might commonly see on rooftops or in fie...

Analog Devices has introduced a wideband gallium nitride (GaN) power amplifier that offers best-in-class performance within a compact design. Covering the 300MHz to 6GHz spectrum, the highly integrated HMC8205 provides significant benefits for system designers of applications such as wireless infrastructure, radar, public mobile radio, and general-purpose amplification test equipment that require pulse or continuous wave (CW) support.

A new technology promises a revolution in the efficient use of electrical power. If widely deployed, this technology could have a significant impact on climate change by reducing our dependence on fossil fuel in favor of renewable energy. It could enable discontinuous advances in communications, electric vehicles and medical diagnostic equipment.

In order to take research findings out of the lab and put them into the hands of those who can best exploit them, Cardiff University has launched the Institute for Compound Semiconductors (ICS). The aim is to bridge the exploitation gap, or 'valley of death'.The ICS aims to position South East Wales as the European leader in compound semiconductors, providing facilities that help researchers and industry work together to meet consumer demand by p...
