EM Pioneer Dies at 92

 

Professor Emeritus John Roy Whinnery, former dean of engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and a distinguished innovator in the field of electromagnetism and communication electronics has died at the age of 92. Whinnery’s earliest work focused on understanding discontinuities in electromagnetic wave devices. His research led to innovations in microwave … [Read more...]

$27M for Jamming

 

The U.S. Navy has awarded the Raytheon Company’s Space and Airborne Systems Division a $27 million contract to provide a technology maturation study of next generation jamming capability. The Next Generation Jammer program will support the Navy’s airborne electronic attack requirements against current and future threats. Under terms of the contract Raytheon will use its unique … [Read more...]

Flower Power: A Whole New Meaning

 

A recent issue of New Scientist points out an amazing website that looks at electromagnetic current in a particularly offbeat way. The site for Australian Bush Flower Essences, located oddly enough in British Columbia, Canada, explains that once a flower essence is ingested, it settles between the circulatory and nervous systems, thus creating an electromagnetic current arising … [Read more...]

High-Voltage Disc Capacitors Suit Aerospace and Industrial Applications

 

AVX HV02-HV06 DIP leaded stack capacitors, SV conformally coated radiated leaded capacitors, and high voltage MLCCs (>/= 1kV) are now available in DO-160 tested versions rendering them suitable for use in flight applications. The typical civilian aircraft is struck by lightning approximately every 1000 flight-time hours, posing a possible threat to increasingly complex and … [Read more...]

Updated Test System Includes New Voltage Spike Requirement of MIL-STD-461F

 

The Fx-CS106 from EMC Partners is a “plug-and-play extension to its MIG2000-6 test system. This extension updates testing by providing a new waveform that has been defined for all three services and thus replaces the CS06 test that was part of MIL-STD-461C. Its 2/5-µs voltage spike is applicable to single-phase and three-phase AC, as well as DC interfaces. A 2/5- µs can be … [Read more...]
