CW technology & engineering conference
The inaugural Cambridge Wireless Engineering and Technology Conference (CWTEC) recently set out to look at whether the wireless industry needs to integrate or differentiate and concluded that it should do both. Leading industry experts explored the future of the UK’s telecommunications infrastructure, spanning mobile, satellite, TV, IoT and wearable technology, focusing on the impact on licensed and unlicensed spectrum and the design of nex...
FPGAs withstand radiation without configuration scrubbing
Microsemi has announced the RTG4 high-speed signal processing radiation-tolerant FPGA family. The RTG4’s reprogrammable flash technology offers complete immunity to radiation-induced configuration upsets in the harshest radiation environments, requiring no configuration scrubbing, unlike SRAM FPGA technology. RTG4 supports space applications requiring up to 150,000 logic elements and up to 300MHz of system performance.
LDS V8 combo shaker supports low carbon mobility research
Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of Warwick has invested in an LDS V8 combo shaker, to support its government-funded research into low carbon mobility. The V8 system enables WMG’s team to carry out vibration tests on large lithium-ion battery systems (up to 600kg in weight), as they go through the cycling process (charge/discharge).
Custom software accelerates 5G research
Flexibility is the watchword in the early stages of 5G research when investiugating new waveforms, frequency bands and bandwidths. Keysight Technologies has developed N7608B Signal Studio for custom modulation software that helps speed time to insight by making it easier to create custom waveforms for 5G applications.
Global circumnavigation to use nothing but solar
From the Wright Brothers' first powered flight in 1903, through the first solo global circumnavigation in 1933, to the proliferation of commercial aviation in the latter half of the 20th century, humanity has always held a special place in its heart for flight. On 9thMarch 2015, Solar Impulse 2 departed on the first leg of a groundbreaking mission: to fly around the world using only the power of the Sun.
Credit card PCBs bring satellite tech to businesses
Newbury Electronics has announced that it is helping the Satellite Applications Catapult bring the benefits of satellite technology to all businesses and organisations, regardless of their size. Newbury Electronics has recently used its specialist production skills to supply prototype circuit boards that measure 44mm2, slightly smaller than a credit card, designed by two summer interns working at the Catapult.
