Gore has developed new cable-based Antennas (often referred to as leaky lines or leaky feeders) that improve signal propagation without increasing the amount of hardware required on an airplane. Ideal for both wide-body and single-aisle passenger aircraft, GORE Cable-Based Antennas provide reliable access to different wireless protocols so passengers can easily connect to in-flight entertainment, Internet servers, and email accounts.

u-blox and Rohde & Schwarz have successfully concluded a simulation of the Russian GLONASS satellite navigation system. The test, carried out with the R&S SMBV100A vector signal generator and its GNSS simulation options, verified the u blox proof-of-concept and the compatibility of u-blox receiver technology with the GLONASS transmission protocol.

Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM), a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced that its single-chip global positioning system (GPS) solution for mobile devices supports the new Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) launched by Japan earlier this month. The BCM4751 solution has built-in support for QZSS and also supports additional satellite constellations including the Satellite Based Augmentation Sys...

Broadcom announced two new GPS system-on-a-chip solutions that include support for the GLONASS Russian Navigation Satellite System, which almost doubles the number of satellites that are available for navigation. Broadcom introduces its most advanced GPS solutions to date for smartphones, mobile handsets, personal digital assistants (PDAs), portable media players and portable navigation devices (PNDs). The Broadcom® BCM47511 standalone GPS re...

NPE, Brazil has selected Brüel & Kjær as supplier of their replacement data acquisition and vibration test system for satellite launch simulation and qualification testing.

Sofradir today announced the appointment of David Billon-Lanfrey as VP of R&D, technology & products, replacing Philippe Tribolet who died November 2010 aged 51.

u-blox, a leading semiconductor provider of embedded positioning and wireless communication solutions for the consumer, industrial and automotive markets, is pleased to announce that small-outline AMY-5M GPS receiver module has been chosen as the GPS receiver for the new Globalstar next-generation SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger.

Continental has developed a sensor for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles which will immediately shut off the high-voltage battery in the event of a collision while the vehicle is in charge mode. This means that emergency service personnel can recover vehicles without running the risk of suffering an electric shock.

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced the new VCS1625Z ultra-high-precision Z-Foil surface-mount current sensing chip resistor. The new device provides an industrial-grade absolute TCR of ±0.05ppm/°C from 0°C to +60°C and ±0.2ppm/°C from -55°C to +125°C, +25°C ref., an excellent power coefficient (ΔR due to self heating) of ±5ppm at rated power, and a tolerance of ±0.2%. While typical current sensing resistors offer a load-life st...

Vishay is now offering a wide variety of surface-mount resistors built on Bulk Metal Foil technology for high reliability and high stability in demanding military, avionics, and space applications. Including the release of the newly improved VSMP (0805 to 2512) series, VCS1625Z, and CSM2512S, Vishay's offering features a wide range of ultra-high-precision specifications and configurations for optimized performance.
