The new R&S® FSV signal analyzer offers an analysis bandwidth of 40 MHz and can, thus, cover a wide range of wireless standards—from 3GPP LTE up to WLAN 802.11n. With 1000 sweeps/s in remote control mode it allows for higher throughputs in product production. It integrates easily into existing production lines because it is compatible with earlier generations of Rohde … [Read more...]
Electric/Magnetic Field Probe Monitor Simplifies RF Immunity Testing
The new Model HI-6100 from ETS-Lindgren is a broadband electric and magnetic probe field monitor crafted for use in electromagnetic compatibility (EMI) RF immunity test system applications. Model HI-6100 features a probe dependent frequency response of 10 kHz to 40 GHz and a sensitivity of 0.5 V/m to 3000 V/m. Input from up to four isotropic field probes is accepted and … [Read more...]
The Price Tag for a Merger: $19.7 Million for Past Interference, Plus Other Stipulations
Late last Friday, the Federal Communications Commission approved Sirius Satellite Radio’s buy-out of former competitor XM Satellite Radio after the companies agreed to pay $19.7 million to the U.S. Treasury to settle the issue of past violations of FCC rules that resulted in interference to FM terrestrial radio broadcasts. As a condition of FCC approval the newly merged Sirius … [Read more...]
Multifunctional Test System Enables Numerous Applications
The NSF 4070 from Teseq is a multi-functional EMC immunity test system. Its frequency range of 9 kHz to 1 GHz and a modular set-up using internal or external amplifiers enable a large variety of applications including tests according to IEC 61000-4-6, various BCI applications as well as signal generator and power meter test systems as per IEC 61000-4-3, IEC 61000-4-20, and IEC … [Read more...]
RadHaz Comes to the Kitchen
Rice University nuclear physicist Bill Llope has embarked on a new avenue of inquiry that at first might seem to come under the purview of the home economist. He’s conducting tests in the kitchens of Houston area homes. Actually, Llope of Rice’s Bonner Nuclear Laboratory is using a Geiger counter to check for radiation in natural stone countertops. Carrying out a test at the … [Read more...]
3M and Sonitor Team on Hospital Locator Project; Stress Assurance on Interference Issue
3M has announced that it is bringing Sonitor’s high definition, ultra-sound based Real Time Location System (RTLS) technology to its Track and Trace customer base. RTLS technology, which is already deployed in several leading hospitals, automatically tracks, with room-level or sub-room level accuracy, the location of mobile equipment or people within complex environments such … [Read more...]
European Union to Fund GALS Project to Boost System Integration and to Reduce EMI
A €4-million collaborative research project is being funded by the European Union’s Seventh Framework Program. The project has been dubbed GALAXY for GALS InterfAce compleX digital sYstem integration. Program participants will work to develop globally asynchronous, locally synchronous (GALS) architecture chips, as well as novel network-on-chip (NoC) capabilities. Participating … [Read more...]
U.S. Air Force Solicitation for Engineering Services for an Anechoic Chamber Characterization
The United States Air Force has issued a notice of intent that Warner Robins-ALC anticipates issuing a contract for the purchase of engineering services, to perform an anechoic chamber characterization. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. All potential contractors should contact the buyer/PCO … [Read more...]
Arc Spray Technology Improves EMC Shielding
With the introduction of a fully automated, robotic coating production plant, HARTING can plate a variety of different plastic housings. The innovative process utilizes arc spray technology with zinc as the coating metal. Zinc is a highly conductive material that, when applied with high layer thickness through the coating process, provides a performance similar to that of full … [Read more...]
Pitt Oncologist Issues Warning on EM Fields from Mobile
In an unprecedented move, Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, (shown at left) head of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI), issued a warning to 3000 staff members about the possible health risks associated with the electromagnetic fields from mobile phones. Dr. Herberman’s explicit list of ways to cut exposure contrasts with the usual advice from medical experts. The usual … [Read more...]
