Channel simulator enables individual frequency set-up
A new wideband digital channel simulator for satellite or unmanned armed vehicle (UAV) data links from IZT provides a cost effective, time-saving solution with exceptional functionality. Accurate, complex and reproducible simulation of uplink, payload and downlink let system engineers create extremely realistic scenarios for testing their product in a laboratory environment.
The industry’s smallest standalone GNSS module
The smallest standalone GNSS positioning module on the market, the EVA-7M, has today been introduced by u-blox. Available in a 7mm x 7mm x 1.1mm LGA package, the new GNSS module supports US GPS, Russian GLONASS, Japanese QZSS, plus all SBAS augmentation systems and is designed for cost and space sensitive applications.
Microsemi acquires Symmetricom
Microsemi has completed it's acquisition of Symmetricom under Section 251(h) of the DGCL, with no stockholder vote required to consummate the merger. At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of Symmetricom was converted into the right to receive $7.18 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, the same price that was paid in the tender offer. Symmetricom shares will cease to be traded on NASD...
Remote temperature sensing in space applications
A new radiation-hardened, low-power, current output temperature sensor, the ISL71590SEH, has been announced by Intersil. Ideal for remote temperature sensing in satellites and other space applications, the ISL71590SEH is able to deliver a high level of accuracy over radiation exposure, time and temperature.
Multi-GNSS platform supports concurrent positioning
u blox announces the launch of its newest core positioning platform u-blox M8. The new chip forms the basis of u-blox’ upcoming line of positioning modules which are able to acquire and track different satellite systems concurrently to achieve higher accuracy and reliability. Supporting all deployed as well as upcoming GNSS, the platform is based on the UBX-M8030 concurrent multi-GNSS receiver IC which is able to track American GPS, Europea...
First current-sharing LDOs for harsh environments
Texas Instruments introduce the first current-sharing low-dropout linear voltage regulators for harsh environments. The current-sharing feature of the 3-A TPS7H1101-SP and the 0.5-A TPS7H1201-HT allows designers to use two devices in parallel for twice the output current. The devices also offer excellent noise performance, as well as minimize thermal dissipation and increase power efficiency for optimal system reliability.
Sofradir And Onera Sign New Partnership Agreement To Create Disruptive Technology Advantages In Infrared Detection
Sofradir and Onera today announce a new research and innovation partnership.
Satellite Cameras Saving Endangered Species
Product development firm Cambridge Consultants is helping conservationists at the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) – in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) – protect some of the world’s most rare and endangered species.
Vishay to participate in ESA's Space Passive Component Days symposium
Vishay will be participating in the European Space Agency's Space Passive Component Days symposium, at the European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk, South Holland. A supplier of passive components to the space market for over 30 years, Vishay will be exhibiting a wide variety of its leading resistors, tantalum capacitors, and inductors at the event in booth #12.
ARCOL Resistors Provide Heat in Space Probe
ARCOL Resistors has a great deal of experience of providing products for custom requirements but faced a unique challenge when asked to provide resistors for a space programme. The THEMIS heliophysics constellation of satellites was commissioned by NASA to investigate what causes auroras in the Earth's atmosphere to dramatically change from slowly shimmering waves of light to wildly shifting streaks of colour.
