XMC module for wideband defence applications
Designer and manufacturer of COTS and rugged DSP boards and system recorders for commercial, government and military systems,Pentek, has introduced the newest member of the Jade family of high-performance data converter XMC modules based on the Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale FPGA. The Model 71141 is a 6.4GHz dual channel analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue converter with programmable DDCs (digital downconverters) and DUCs (digital upconverters)...
Surround view solution assists drivers during parking
Renesas Electronics and Cogent Embedded have announced their joint development of a 3D surround view solution to assist drivers during parking or low speed manoeuvres. Designed for parking assist systems in entry and mid-level cars, the new solution combines the Renesas R-Car V3M System-on-Chip (SoC), which incorporates a dedicated image rendering unit (IMR) that delivers realistic 360º surround view, with Cogent’s customisable softwar...
What is driving the automotive LiDAR and RADAR market?
The automotive LiDAR and RADAR market is growing at a substantial rate. The market growth is dependent on the demand trends in the automobile industry, safety regulations, and buyer preferences and lifestyle. LiDAR and RADAR based driver assistance systems play an important role in reducing road accidents and casualties and enhance pedestrian safety. Passenger safety occupies a prime spot in the automobile sector today.
Konrad RF/Wireless expertise wins NI alliance
Konrad Technologies has been named an NI RF and Wireless Specialty Alliance Partner. The company received this designation for its specialised skills in RF and wireless test capabilities, demonstrated by their Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) radar test solutions and RF communications test capabilities.
UK Wind Lidar Production Centre to open by the end of 2017
ZephIR Lidar has confirmed that the UK Wind Lidar Production Centre will officially open by the end of 2017, in response to the increasing demand for more accurate wind measurements in the development, construction and operation of wind farms worldwide.The Centre is complete with electronics and optical assembly clean rooms for producing, testing and servicing laser-based lidar units.
Time-sensitive networking: reliable communication for Industrial IoT
Today’s industrial manufacturing cell can include several robot arms, some cameras, position sensors, and some controllers connected together in a network. The cameras and sensors send data to the controllers. The controllers send commands to the robot arms.What happens when a command from the controller arrives at the robot arm a tenth of a second late? Guest blog byKa Kay Achacoso.
ADAS technology receives positive feedback from first trade fair
ADAS iiT has drawn positive conclusions from its first trade fair appearances at NIWeek and Automotive Testing Expo Europe.ADAS iiT presented a one stop solution for the simulation and validation of fully autonomous vehicles in a virtual environment (ADAS HiL, ADAS Sensor Fusion, ADAS V2X and GNSS, Data Management).
The attraction of the industry - ELIV 2017
Cars are getting smarter, the electronics used in them are getting more and more complex. On the 18th-19th October 2017, the focus will be on electronics in vehicles at the World Conference Center Bonn (WCCB). Experts will be discussing the megatrends in automotive electronics at the International VDI Congress 'Electronic in Vehicles' (ELIV).
Seeing the forest with the latest LiDAR system
Shortly after lasers were first developed in the 1960s, LiDAR—whose name originated as a combination of 'light' and 'radar'—capitalised on the newly unique precision they offered for measuring both time and distance. LiDAR quickly became the standard method for (3D) land surveys and is now used in a multitude of sensing applications, such as self-driving cars.
European FP7 project links the silicon photonic ecosystem
The European FP7 project PLAT4M has now been completed with results that exceeded expectations, according to Leti. Si photonics has long been expected to bring substantial breakthroughs in very high speed data communications, telecommunications and supercomputing. In addition, it is one of the most promising industrial-production candidates because of its potential for large-scale and low-cost production capability in existing CMOS foundries.
