European Space Agency to Test High-Power Laser Diodes

 

Typical laser system applications in space include precision range measurements, radar-like “lidar” systems to gather a complete picture of surface terrain or three-dimensional samplings of planetary atmospheres and laser-based space communications with high bandwidth and minimal electromagnetic interference. ESA has selected Yokogawa digital oscilloscopes for its European … [Read more...]

Defense System Undergoes EMI Testing

 

In a combined effort between Air Mobility Command, Air National Guard, the KC-135 Stratotanker System Program Office, Northrop-Grumman officials and other agencies, a KC-135 Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures-based pod defensive system is becoming a reality for the first time. The pod, called the Guardian System by maker Northrop-Grumman, is a laser-based countermeasures … [Read more...]

Inflight Wi-Fi Interfering with Flight Critical Electronics

 

Inflight Wi-Fi and cellphone services, which transmit low power microwave radio signals within an aircraft's fuselage, has been found to be interfering withflight critical electronics. This latest finding was made by Boeing while testing inflight Wi-Fi equipment for use on its next generation 737 twin-engined aircraft. The plane maker found that a certain type of new, brighter … [Read more...]

Japan Disaster Affecting Tech Supply

 

Japan is responsible for 14 percent of global production in computers and other consumer electronics. Sixty percent of the world’s silicon wafers, used in semiconductor chips, are made in Japan. It is predicted that it could take six months before the tech supply chain returns to normal. Plants run by Toshiba, Panasonic and Sony have already been struck with damage, forcing … [Read more...]
