FCC’s Plan to Revitalize AM Radio Concerns Listeners

 

On May 15, iHeartMedia met with the FCC Media Bureau to discuss the current plan to revitalize AM Radio and to discuss an ex parte letter describing possible changes to AM radio stations. The plan in place will reduce skywave interference protection which make it easier for AM radio stations to operate and give users more flexibility. Jeff Littlejohn of EVP/Engineering and … [Read more...]

Anti-jamming Technology Effective in Protecting Satellites from Interference

 

Boeing Engineers have tested an anti-jamming technology for satellites that shields signals from interference and have proven the technology is capable of operating both on the ground and in a satellite-based networking hubs. The test was completed under a contract for the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center and was supervised by the U.S. Government. It was … [Read more...]

California Electrosensitive Haven can be Purchased for 8.6 Million Dollars

 

An apartment, Unit 4 at 2170 Jackson Street in San Francisco, Calif., is currently on the market for $8.6 million dollars. It’s reportedly a safe space for electrosensitives. “Electrosensitives” are people who have illnesses and attribute the cause to electromagnetic radiation emitted from electronic devices, such as phones, computers or wireless routers. The apartment has … [Read more...]

Astronomers Discover 17-Year Interference Caused by Microwave Oven

 

For nearly 17 years astronomers at Parkes Observatory in Australia searched for the reason why radio interference took place during experiments and observations. They discovered early this year that the interference was coming from a microwave oven in the observatory’s kitchen. Parkes Observatory houses one of the best-known radio telescopes in the country. It is used to … [Read more...]

TECH TIDBIT: Apple Watch Controls Car

 

The newest Apple product, the Apple Watch, will soon be able to control Tesla Model S vehicles with a Remote S application. The Remote S app on the Apple Watch allows users to change temperature settings, open sunroofs, check charging levels of the vehicle, remote start the vehicle, and more. The Apple Watch has almost full control over the car when using the Remote S app. The … [Read more...]

EMC/EMI Conference Expands to U.S. Market

 

Horizon House Publications and Microwave Journal announced that the Electronic Design Conference and Exhibition, EDI CON, is expanding into the U.S. market after three successful events in Beijing, China. According to the Microwave Journal, EDI CON China grew 10-20 percent each year and the event had more than 2,600 attendees this year. The first ever EDI CON USA will take … [Read more...]

Maglev Hovering Train Breaks Speed Record

 

A seven car Maglev (magnetic levitation) Train in Central Japan broke its own speed record when tested near Mount Fuji this week. In 2003 the Maglev’s record was 268 mph and last week it reached 366 mph. On Tuesday the Maglev surpassed both previous records and reached 374 mph. The Maglev train hovers four inches above the tracks and is propelled by electrically-charged … [Read more...]

Invisible Objects Created in the Microwave Range Without Metamaterial Cloaking

 

Physicists from ITMO University, Ioffe Institute and Australian National University have made homogenous cylindrical objects entirely invisible in the microwave range without metamaterial cloaking. Until now, invisibility relied on metamaterial coatings, which can change the direction of light and make light curve around cloaked objects. However, with a new understanding of … [Read more...]

FBI Pulled Security Expert from Flight for Alleged Hacking Concerns

 

The FBI pulled Chris Roberts, a computer security expert, from his United Airlines Flight last Wednesday in Syracuse because of suspicions that he hacked the airplane. Roberts tweeted referencing the plane’s communication systems suggesting he was going to use his laptop to force the plane’s emergency oxygen masks to deploy. The tweet read: “Find Myself on a 737/800, let’s see … [Read more...]

Physicists Discover Graphene Absorbs up to 50 Percent of Microwave Radiation

 

A team of physicists from the University of Namur in Belgium have discovered that graphene serves as an effective shield against microwave inference. Graphene has the ability to reduce microwave pollution and to enhance the electromagnetic compatibility of future electronic devices. Philippe Lambin, project lead, and and his colleagues demonstrated that “the conductivity of … [Read more...]
