Software Simulation Boosts the Efficacy of PCB Design

 

Adding an effective package to the design cycle can pinpoint areas critical to EMC compliance Dirk Müller, FlowCAD, Munich, GERMANY Ultimately, electromagnetic compatibility can be validated only in the measurement chamber with existing prototypes. Those tests are time consuming and expensive. There are various ideas for cutting the costs of testing with early software … [Read more...]

Laird Cuts Staffing and Closes Hungarian Plant

 

Laird plc., a global supplier of EMI shielding devices and antennas, is in the process of cutting its staff by around 5000 or 54 percent. The company is closing its manufacturing facility in Hungary, which has 500 employees, and will close or downsize three of its facilities in the U.S. Production from these sites will be transferred to Mexico and China. These steps will lead … [Read more...]

High Gain Microwave Horn Antenna Supplies Constant High Intensity Fields for RFI/EMI Testing

 

The Model AT4418 from AR RF Microwave Instrumentation is a wideband, high gain, microwave horn antenna that provides a minimum gain of 7 dB over the frequency range of 1 GHz to 18 GHz over isotropic. The Model AT4418 supplies the constant high intensity fields necessary for RFI/EMI field testing within and beyond the confines of a shielded room. It can be used for emissions … [Read more...]

EMC in Space …

 

Successfully dealing with EMC in space systems requires strong EMC engineering Daryl Gerke, PE, and William Kimmel, PE Many of us in the EMC business came of age during the “space race” of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. We well remember names like Sputnik, Mercury, Gemini, and of course, Apollo. Some of us in the EMC business have even been fortunate enough to spend some (or all) or … [Read more...]

Portable ‘Pain Ray’ Guns No Longer Science Fiction

 

Raytheon now markets a more portable version of its non-lethal “pain ray” weapons. The “Silent Guardian,” a part of Raytheon’s Active Denial System, uses high-frequency radio beams that make human targets feel like they are on fire.  The futuristic weapon produces high-frequency millimeter waves directed toward the target by an antenna that looks like a radar dish. It directs a … [Read more...]
