Super skyscrapers which will dwarf the Shard, underwater bubble cities and hyper-flexible living spaces are all likely to be reality in 100 years’ time. That’s the verdict of a new study which paints a vivid picture of our future lives – suggesting the way we live, work and play will change beyond all recognition over the course of the next century.

Microsemi Corporation has announced a high power Monolithic Microwave Surface Mount (MMSM) series-shunt SP2T PIN diode reflective switch, the MPS2R10-606. The device is optimised for High Frequency (HF),Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultrahigh Frequency (UHF) high power Transmit/Receive (T/R) switching in applications such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) receive arrays and first responder, military, aviation and marine radio communications. Th...

Disney Research Zurich and Swiss technology institute ETH have developed a four-wheeled robot with integrated propellers that allow it to scale vertical surfaces. VertiGo is driven by a user like a remote-controlled car, but adjusts its propellers automatically in response to changes in the surrounding surfaces.

Stop-and-go optical inspection systems often have aggressive acceleration/deceleration profiles that generate vibration and high torque values. The dampening characteristics of Ruland zero-backlash jaw couplings reduce settling time and shock loads resulting in more accurate system performance and decreased component wear.

Recently available from River Electronics the FCX-08 package, which is classified as the world’s smallest quartz crystal unit. This crystal is enclosed in a ceramic 1.2×1.0mm package with a metal lid sealed by an electron beam. This particular package comes with a now lower frequency tolerance of +/- 7ppm and also with a wider operating temperature of -40 + 125°C. Frequencies range from 36 up to 80MHz, applications for this unique...

Many engineers working in a production, product testing or R&D role have a requirement for a high-voltage power source that is robust and capable of supplying loads of multiple kilowatts. Because of the nature of testing and R&D environments, this power source is often required to withstand abusive conditions. By Bob Collins, Managing Director, Magna-Power Electronics (UK).

Circuit boards with FPGAs, microprocessors, ASICs, and DSPs have particular design criteria, resulting in multiple power supply rails. Pinkesh Sachdev, Linear Technology, looks at some voltage supervision challenges

Energy Watch Group makes the International Energy Agency (IEA) responsible for consistently underestimating the potential of renewable energy and promoting conventional energy sources.

A wideband transistor optimised for DC to 2.7GHz operation and built using proprietary 4th generation GaN on Silicon (GaN on Si) process is sampling today. The device was announced by MACOM at European Microwave Week in Paris. This GaN on Si HEMT D-Mode transistor is ideally suited for defense communications, land mobile radio, avionics, wireless infrastructure, ISM applications and VHF/UHF/L/S-band radar.

A 1kW X-band GaN pulsed power amplifier, the DM-X1K0-01, developed by Diamond Microwave Dvices was introduced at European Microwave Week in Paris. The devices is designed as an alternative to vacuum tube amplifiers. Special emphasis has been given to the size and weight of the amplifier which make it suitable for radar applications including airborne radar where these considerations come into play.
