Agency Probes Gas Pedals' Link to EMI

 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating whether electromagnetic signals could be interfering with electronic gas-pedal controls in vehicles, including but not limited to Toyotas. The agency plans to meet with Toyota and other manufacturers, suppliers and outside experts to better understand the electronics that control engine throttles and the … [Read more...]

New Life for Magnetic Tape

 

A boost in storage density could keep magnetic tapes spinning for years, thanks to new research from IBM and Fujifilm. Increasing the density of data that can be stored on a tape makes it more difficult to reliably read information, which is already a problem because of electromagnetic interference and because the heads themselves will retain a certain amount of residual … [Read more...]

Chinese Army Simulates Complicated Electromagnetic Environment

 

China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) made a significant breakthrough recently when it tested a complicated electromagnetic environment during large scale training exercises. The system can simulate natural, civilian and military electromagnetic signals to construct an electromagnetic environment similar to that on the battlefield, and monitor various communication and … [Read more...]

Australian Prison Leads Fight Against Cell Phone Use by Inmates

 

Australia’s Lithgow Correctional Centre’s proposed use of mobile phone jammers has moved to a new stage with the country’s communications regulator set to discuss the proposal with nearby telecommunications providers. The New South Wales Department of Corrective Services has sought a trial of the technology in an effort to stamp out illegal phone use by prisoners.Read more from … [Read more...]

Tubular Braided EMI Shielding

 

Micro-Coax’s ARACON tubular braided EMI shielding contains metal-clad fibers in the shielding that combine the conductivity of an outer metal coating with the strength, light weight and flexibility of KEVLAR® fibers. When braided into a shield, ARACON offers performance against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference with weight savings of up to 80 percent over … [Read more...]

3-Channel Power Meter Covers 10kHz – 40 GHz Range

 

AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation’s new Model PM2003 3-channel power meter delivers 200 readings per second with one channel; and 100 readings per second when two channels are used. Two channels at a time can be simultaneously displayed and recorded; the third channel can be easily switched in to be displayed or recorded. Its dynamic range extends to 90dB when diode power heads … [Read more...]

Power Modules Meet Requirement of Radiated Emission Standard

 

National Semiconductor Corp. recently introduced the first three products in its Simple Switcher® power module family. The patent-pending packaging technology of the LMZ-series provides low radiated electromagnetic interference, which enables the power modules to meet the requirements of the EN55022 Class B radiated emission standard.Learn more from National Semiconductor. … [Read more...]
