Teseq, a provider of instrumentation and systems for EMC emission and immunity testing, has introduced a new magnetic field coil that generates fields up to 1200 A/m during magnetic field testing. The INA 703 is designed for testing to IEC 61000-4-8 (supply frequency magnetic fields), IEC 61000-4-9 (pulsed magnetic fields) and IEC 61000-4-10 (oscillatory magnetic fields) … [Read more...]
Band Pass Filter Chip With User Selectable Passband Frequency
Hittite Microwave Corporation introduced the HMC897, a new band pass tunable filter chip that is ideal for pre-selection in advanced communications systems, military radar, EW/ECM, SATCOM, space, industrial and medical systems. Tunable over a 9 to 19 GHz frequency range, this new, ultra-compact, varactor-tuned MMIC filter is inherently stable and has small physical size and … [Read more...]
Strongest Solar Flare of Summer Creates Strong Radio Blackout
The sun unleashed two major solar storms in a single week this month and more are expected to follow. The most recent X-class solar flare erupted toward Earth, sending a wave of charged particles that have amped up northern lights displays and caused a strong radio blackout for some high-frequency communications systems. Effects on communications were felt within minutes of the … [Read more...]
College Students’ Satellite to Help NASA Learn More about Solar Flares
A group of Arizona State University engineering and business students have been working on the Sun Devil Satellite 1 project since 2009 to help advance NASA’s knowledge about solar flares and their effect on Earth’s magnetic field. Solar flares can be signs of the formation of gigantic solar storms, which can propel powerful electromagnetic bursts of charged particles from the … [Read more...]
Astronomers Look to the Far Side of the Moon for RF Immunity
An astronomy team from the University of Colorado is hoping that the far side of the moon will offer their telescopes immunity from radio interference as they explore the origins of the universe. The only way to observe these dark ages of the universe’ past is to look for faint radio signals from neutral hydrogen, which filled the early universe. To do so telescopes need to … [Read more...]

NASA Launches X-Ray Telescope
NASA successfully launched its NuSTAR telescope, which will observe the cosmos using X-rays. NuSTAR, short for Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, operates in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum which is more energetic than visible light. Its primary mission is expected to last for two years, and its main scientific tasks are to conduct a survey of black holes, map … [Read more...]
Electrically Conductive Film Adhesive with Low Outgassing
NuSil Technology LLC has released CV-2681-12, an electrically conductive, controlled volatility (low outgassing) film adhesive designed for a wide range of applications, from tacking down wires to working with solar cells and mirrors. Static-dissipative with controlled volatility, CV-2681-12 is ideal for electronics and space applications that require minimal outgassing in … [Read more...]
Collaboration to Produce and Commercialize EMI Composites
Zyvex Technologies and NanoFabrix are collaborating to develop customized carbon nanotube-enhanced composite materials to enhance advanced composite materials’ electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency. At first, the companies plan to design the materials for aerospace applications especially by improving EMI shielding efficiency especially in cockpit … [Read more...]
New Digital Airport Surveillance Radars for Naval Bases
The U.S. Navy has purchased two more radar systems from Raytheon Company as part of a continuing effort to replace outdated analog air traffic control systems with digital technology. The new radars will be installed at military bases in New River, N.C., and Quantico, Va. The Digital Airport Surveillance Radar (DASR) ASR-11 is the first fully digital, solid-state radar to be … [Read more...]
