Pasternack introduces new high performance waveguide detectors that cover frequency ranges from 26.5 to 110 GHz. The detectors are zero biased and perform the best in KA, Q, U, V, E and W frequency bands. Because the detectors are zero biased, no external DC bias or mechanical tuning is needed. The detectors also offer a rugged steel construction, high thermal stability, … [Read more...]
Sirens Fail to Function During Tornado Warning Due to Radio Interference
An outdoor warning system failed to function properly during a tornado warning in Hannibal, Missouri on June 28 due to radio interference. Mike Hall, Marion County 911 director, is certain that the radio interference came from HPD traffic. “The city’s 16-siren system is activated through a single radio transmission. A day after the storm, Hall reported a review of the 911 … [Read more...]

‘Unstoppable’ New Hacking Device Steals Encryption Keys Out of the Air
A group of researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Israeli research center have produced a new hacking device that can steal encryption keys “out of the air.” The device cannot be stopped by disabling Wi-Fi networks or turning off Bluetooth because the device doesn’t use standard communication methods to steal data. The device uses radio waves emitted from computer … [Read more...]
Product’s Expanded Features Reveal Hidden Interference
Narda Safety Test Solutions has expanded the features of its Interference and Direction Analyzer (IDA), which will clarify and improve wireless signals. The IDA “Spectrograms with a time resolution of as fine as 1 μs now allow insights into signal structures that were otherwise only possible with large scale lab equipment. This means that interference and hidden transmitters … [Read more...]

The new system offers new integrated software, a high-bandwidth digital controller and a compact mechanical design. It has ultrafast scan rates up to 2 sec/frame (256x256 pixels) and an auto drive feature that saves users time by automatically setting … [Read more...]
Energy-efficient Electric Car: No AM Radio Due to Possible EMI
The BMW i3 Electric Car was the most energy-efficient car sold in the U.S. this year, according to Green Car Reports. However, consumers noticed the car does not offer AM Radio. “AM is not offered due to negative performance influences of the electromagnetic interference of the electric drivetrain. Electric motors cause interference on AM which is why BMW decided to remove … [Read more...]
Defense Contractor to Produce Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System
General Atomics, a defense contractor in San Diego, Calif., announced it will produce the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) for the John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier under a contract from the U.S. Navy. The EMALS system uses bursts of electromagnetic energy to launch planes and jets into the air. It takes up less space on ships, … [Read more...]
Radio Interference May Cause Malfunction in Amtrak’s New Anti-crash System
Amtrak is working on an anti-crash system to prevent high-speed derailments, like the fatal derailment in Philadelphia P.A. last month that killed eight passengers, injured hundreds and caused more than $9.2 million worth of damages. However, the anti-crash system may malfunction near freight railroads. Radio interference from freight rails may disable Amtrak’s anti-crash … [Read more...]
