ROHM Semiconductor has announced the RTD-EVK-G2 Terahertz wave device evaluation kit, which includes a 2nd Generation terahertz wave oscillation device, cable and evaluation board for THz wave oscillation and detection. The RTD-based device uses a 0.5 × 0.5 mm chip in a 4.0 × 4.3 mm PLCC package and delivers output power up to 40 […] The post RTD device supports compact THz evaluation appeared…
Timing holdover keeps a system’s clock accurate after it loses its outside timing reference. It can last for seconds, hours, or even days. Telecom networks, radar systems, and satellite constellations all depend on it the moment that reference disappears. Without holdover, these systems lose the shared clock that keeps them in sync. In this FAQ, […] The post What is timing holdover, and why does…
A panel at Advantech’s Edge AI Conference made the case that the gap between promising pilot and production rollout is where the real engineering work begins. The phrase “edge AI” gets thrown around a lot, but there’s a version that matters to engineers building real-world systems, and it looks nothing like a research demo. At […] The post Edge AI is real. Scaling is the hard part appeared first…
Amphenol RF has introduced additional pre-configured MMCX cable assemblies for RF connectivity in industrial wireless systems. The assemblies use flexible RG-174 cable, support performance up to 3 GHz and are available with straight or right-angle MMCX plug connectors paired with bulkhead SMA, TNC, RP-TNC and N-Type straight jacks. The between-series design supports panel-mount transitions from…
EnSilica has announced two Ku-band beamformer integrated circuits, the ENS92051 and ENS92052, which offer best-in-class power consumption and performance. They are designed to address the needs of the next generation of electronically steered antennas for a range of user terminals used with LEO, MEO, and GEO satellite constellations. The ENS92051 is a dual-beam Ku-band receiver… The post Dual-beam…
Amphenol RF has expanded its 2.92 mm adapter series with new between-series SMPM configurations for applications up to 40 GHz. The adapters are available in plug and jack versions and pair a threaded 2.92 mm interface with a compact SMPM connection for high-density RF designs, helping support signal integrity and repeatability in microwave test, system […] The post New adapters support RF…
KYOCERA AVX has released Antenna Integrator Studio, a web-based RF engineering tool for antenna selection and PCB placement in wireless product designs. The tool allows engineers to enter PCB size, antenna count, target frequency bands and optimization priorities, then review candidate antenna positions with performance data including efficiency, return loss, peak gain and radiation patterns. […]…
Spectrum Control has introduced the Weinschel™ 8401-16E 16×16 Butler Matrix, a passive beamforming network for MIMO systems and wireless test applications across 2.4 GHz to 7.125 GHz. The 16-input, 16-output architecture generates fixed orthogonal beams without active phase shifters, supporting repeatable beamforming, multi-channel validation and simulated OTA testing for Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7 and…
Spectrum Control has introduced the SCi Blocks™ family of dual-channel block converter RF+ SiPs for high-channel-density RF and microwave systems. Available as a downconverter, upconverter or transceiver, the devices support 18 GHz to 26 GHz and 26 GHz to 40 GHz operation, include RF conversion, filtering, gain control, power regulation, RF detection and temperature monitoring, […] The post…
SiTime has announced the Chorus™ 2 programmable clock generator for systems that combine FPGAs, ASICs, GPUs and CPUs in AI, high-performance computing, networking and industrial platforms. The device can replace up to 8 or 12 discrete oscillators or clock signals with a single part, supports up to 20 custom configurations and offers up to 8 […] The post Programmable clock generator supports PCIe…
