Motion trackers feature 3D inertial sensor assembly
Farnell element14 has introduced the MTi product portfolio from Xsens which provides a reliable industry standard for MEMS attitude and heading reference systems. The 4th generation MTi offers reliable MEMS based AHRS, VRU, and IMUs. The MTi 10-series gives the system integrator a choice of three different integration levels (IMU, VRU, AHRS).
Smart antenna positioning modules enable IoT technology
Enabling the adoption of IoT technology, Telit Wireless Solutions has introduced positioning modules with embedded smart antennas. Measuring 11x11mm, the Jupiter SE868-A multi-constellation GNSS module features embedded Flash memory and integrated LNA on one side and an SMT antenna on the other. The Galileo ready device supports simultaneous tracking of GPS, QZSS and Glonass.
Testing eCall in-vehicle systems
With the EU aiming to make the automatic eCall (emergency Call) system mandatory in all new cars by the end of 2015, conformance test systems that enable manufacturers to quickly and reliably verify their eCall solutions are in high demand. By Christian Hof, Product Manager, Mobile Radio Testers, Rohde & Schwarz.
Infotainment system enhances in-car interaction
Aiming to enhance the way that consumers interact with their vehicles, Texas Instruments and Ford have collaborated to produce the Ford SYNC 3, a communications and infotainment system.The SYNC 3 incorporates TI’s OMAP 5 processor, a member of the Jacinto automotive processor family, the WiLink 8Q single chip, combining WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and GNSS, power management and FPD-Link III Serialiser/Deserialiser (SerDes).
Precision timing modules target mission critical systems
Alpha Micro Components has launched the NEO-M8T and LEA-M8T precision timing modules, ideal for mission-critical infrastructure systems including mobile communication networks, power generation and distribution systems and seismic measurements. Highly compact, these new surface-mount modules are able to generate a precise reference clock with <20 ns accuracy. The receivers offer high sensitivity (-157 dBm signal acquisition with assisted GNSS...
GNSS technology enables V2X system
GNSS technology from u-blox has been selected by Cohda Wireless for use in its Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) equipment, collectively called ‘V2X’. MK5, the Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) based V2X system is a next-gen ADAS, enabling early warning of an imminent collision, oncoming traffic, presence of road workers and unsafe speed based on vehicles in the vicinity.
Low-power hub supports multiple GNSS systems
Broadcom has announced the industry's first GNSS location hub that supports Galileo, a global satellite system being built by the European Union. The Broadcom BCM4774 simultaneously supports Galileo, GPS, GLONASS, SBAS, QZSS and BeiDou satellite systems.
GNSS module features 3D positioning, 100% coverage
The u-blox NEO-M8L all-in-one Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module featuring continuous 3D positioning and 100 % coverage is available at Alpha Micro Components. Suited to all road vehicle and high-accuracy navigation applications, the module incorporates motion, direction and elevation sensors with a gyro and an accelerometer integrated into its GNSS platform u-blox M8.
GNSS timing modules offer accuracy of less than 20ns
Capable of generating a precise reference clock with less than 20ns accuracy, the NEO-M8T and LEA-M8T precision timing modules have been released by u-blox. Enabling quick start-up even inside structures with limited sky-view, the receivers offer high sensitivity (-157dBm signal acquisition with assisted GNSS). The precise reference clock is derived from multi-GNSS including GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou.
3G cellular module used in explosion proof phone
BARTEC PIXAVI has selected u-blox’s LISA-U230 3G cellular module for use in its Impact X ‘intrinsically safe smartphone’. CSA Class 1, Zone 1, IECEx and ATEX Zone 1 certified, the rugged smartphone is both explosion and waterproof. The LISA-U230 is a 6-band 3G cellular module, with a 2G fall back capability, that is designed for devices used in tough industrial and outdoor environments.
