Elite Electronic Engineering highlights some of the changes between the current EMC Directive 2004/30/EC and the new EMC Directive 2014/30/EU in a white paper published October 14, 2014. It’s time for manufacturers, importers, and distributors to adapt their CE Marking conformity assessment processes to the new directive by April 2016. The new directive will be required for … [Read more...]

New Broadband Preamplifier Announced

 

Langer EMV has announced a new broadband preamplifier, model PA 306, designed to boost the signal from near field probes. The frequency range is 100 kHz to 6 GHz with gain of 30 dB and noise figure of 3 dB, typical. The PA 306 amplifies weak signals from near-field probes or antennas. The preamplifier features a low noise figure performance in combination with a high dynamic … [Read more...]

How White Hat Hackers Stole Crypto Keys from an Offline Laptop in Another Room

 

In recent years, "air-gapped" computers, which are disconnected from the internet so hackers can not remotely access their contents, have become a regular target for security researchers. Now, researchers from Tel Aviv University and Technion have gone a step further than past efforts, and found a way to steal data from air-gapped machines while their equipment is in another … [Read more...]

Swedish Transport Administration Leads Fight Against Mobile Interference

 

The International Railway Journal reports that 4G and 3G mobile networks are causing severe interference to safety-critical GSM-R radio communications. Sweden's railway sector is currently engaged in an intensive programme to combat the problem by a self-imposed deadline of July 1st. Kevin Smith, of Trafikverket, reports on the project's progress, "For mission-critical radio … [Read more...]

A2LA and ANSI Recognized by NIST to Accredit Notified Bodies

 

A2LA and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) have been formally recognized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as an Accreditation Body offering Notified Body (NB) accreditation under ISO/IEC 17020:2012, ISO/IEC 17025:2005, and ISO/IEC 17065:2012. Currently, A2LA is the only accreditation body recognized by NIST to offer accreditation to all … [Read more...]

FCC, Title 47 of the CFR

 

MET Labs just published an article, “6 Steps to Successful FCC Testing & Certification of Electronic Products”, on their blog. Manufacturers who plan to market their products in the U.S. are required to meet the requirements of the Federal Communications Commission, per Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Most products that emit RF energy above 9 kHz, must … [Read more...]

This absorber is designed to suppress radiated noise from electrical devices for broadband radio frequency ranges. Common uses include mobile phone (SAR reduction), computer, digital still … [Read more...]

Ruggedized Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer Announced

 

Aaronia recently announced their ruggedized version of the Spectran XFR V5 PRO real-time spectrum analyzer with a 1 Hz to 20 GHz frequency range. It is billed as a counter-surveillance receiver with integrated GPS receiver and can scan 20 GHz in less than 20 ms. Real time bandwidth is up to 175 MHz, depending on the model and whether you order the increased bandwidth option. … [Read more...]

Hack-Proof RFID Chips

 

Larry Hardesty, MIT News Office, reports that MIT researchers, working together with engineers from Texas Instruments, have developed a new type of radio frequency identification (RFID) chip that is virtually impossible to hack. "If such chips were widely adopted, it could mean that an identity thief couldn’t steal your credit card number or key card information by sitting … [Read more...]

Ap Note: Design of Near Field Antenna System

 

National Instruments has released a short application note on how to design a near field antenna system for near field communications (NFC). MFC is a non-contact communication between wireless devices and things, such as, pay terminals or to share information between devices. Examples would include the Apple Pay and Google Pay process. The ap note describes how the antenna … [Read more...]
