New Single-Photon Optical Transistor Could Lead to Faster Data Transmission
Using an ultracold quantum gas, researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Germany have created a new kind of transistor-like optical amplifier that allows for a twentyfold amplification of single-photon signals. Although fiberoptic technology has helped speed along data transmission and telecommunications in general, researchers have hoped to find another … [Read more...]
New Hyperbolic Metamaterial Lets Light Out, Not In
Researchers at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new metamaterial made of silver, glass, and chromium that allows for the one-way transmission of visible light. Metamaterials are artificial materials engineered, combined and structured, often in patterns, to achieve certain properties. Among other functions, certain metamaterials can … [Read more...]
Valley Current Properties of New Transistor Material Could Outdo Silicon
Researchers at Cornell University have identified and tested a semiconducting compound that could outdo silicon in terms of performance, and could signal the emergence of a new kind of transistor material in electronics. The findings, compiled in the paper, “The Valley Hall Effect in MoS2 Transistors,” published recently in Science, revealed promising conductive capabilities … [Read more...]
Software Optimizes Wind Farm Location to Reduce Telecom Interference
Researchers collaborating on the SOPCAWIND project have developed software to optimize wind farm placement, in order to reduce noise, environmental impact, and telecommunications interference. Wind farms, while a valuable and viable source of energy, reportedly meeting up to 8 percent of Europe’s energy needs, are accompanied by significant drawbacks; namely, noise … [Read more...]
Watch our Webinar on PCB Suppression of ICs with BGA or Multiple Power Rails
Overview: Most EMC design textbooks that cover printed circuit board (PCB) design and layout – including mine – do not cover the special EMC issues associated with Ball Grid Array devices (BGAs), so this webinar covers PCB design techniques that will reduce their emissions and increase their immunity. In particular, how to get good plane meshes under them, and how to … [Read more...]
Study Highlights Need to Re-Evaluate Railway EMC Standards
As part of a recently-completed European Union study on the effects of multi-source electromagnetic interference on trains, a British consulting company has helped redesign the way that conformance to railway electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards is determined. The project in question, a two-year study known as TREND (Test of Rolling Stock Electromagnetic Compatibility … [Read more...]
Software Tackles Digitally Modulated RF Signals for Circuit and System Design
Agilent Technologies has announced the release of its new Genesys 2014 RF simulation and synthesis software. Designed for circuit and system designers, the Agilent EEsof EDA software features breakthrough modulated RF analysis as well as enhancements to its custom-filter direct synthesis technology. Using Genesys 2014, designers can now simulate digitally modulated RF signals … [Read more...]
Webinar on PCB Suppression of ICs with BGA or Multiple Power Rails
On June 25, 2014, Keith Armstrong will present a live webinar on “PCB Suppression of ICs with BGA or Multiple Power Rails." Overview: Most EMC design textbooks that cover printed circuit board (PCB) design and layout – including mine – do not cover the special EMC issues associated with Ball Grid Array devices (BGAs), so this webinar covers PCB design techniques that will … [Read more...]
EMI Shielding Compounds for Automotive Radar and Sensing System Components
Thermoplastics compounder RTP Company has developed new EMI shielding compounds ideal for replacing metal or conductive coated plastic housings in automotive sensing systems. Automotive radar and sensing systems designed to maintain vehicle safety and reliability require EMI protection to eliminate “noise” that could interfere with signal processing, the company says. As the … [Read more...]
