Electromagnetic Catapult Successfully Launches Dead Load Truck into River

 

Earlier this week, the U.S. Navy began dead load testing the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EALS) on the Gerald R. Ford CVN 78. The electromagnetic slingshot launched an 80,000 pound dead load truck into the James River in Virginia. The truck reportedly weighed as much as a jet. Even though the truck wasn’t airborne for too long before hitting the water, the test … [Read more...]

Woman Fights Cancer with Electric Fields

 

Elizabeth Marek, a mother of two from St. Louis Missouri, has a deadly form of brain cancer known as Glioblastoma, which has no cure and a life expectancy of two years after diagnosis. A small tumor was found in her brain after she started experiencing aggressive headaches, and surgeons at Washington University removed the tumor in an emergency surgery. Eventually, a second … [Read more...]

University’s Light Rail Yields Potential Electromagnetic Interference to Expensive Lab Equipment

 

A University of Minnesota light rail reportedly causes electromagnetic radiation and vibrations, which could disturb university research in chemistry and medical departments, the Minnesota Daily reported. For more than a year, Metro Transit and the Metropolitan Council have attempted to reduce the electromagnetic disturbances from the Green Line Light Rail. The University of … [Read more...]

Real-time Spectrum Analyzer Measures Frequencies up to 27 GHz

 

Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation introduces its new Model RTSA7500 – a real-time spectrum analyzer that can measure up to 27 GHz. The spectrum analyzer is cost-effective and powerful; it costs less than $14,000 and can measure frequency ranges from 100 kHz to 8 GHz, 18 GHz, or 27 GHz. “The Model RTSA7500 has all the standard features of a spectrum analyzer such as frequency … [Read more...]

Dual Band Amplifier Produces Continuous Power from 400 W to 800 W

 

MILMEGA, part of AMETEK Compliance Test Solutions group, debuted its new dual band amplifier, the AS0104-800/400, to run automotive radar pulse tests. It reduces testing time and is also easy to set up and operate, according to the company. The amplifier produces continuous wave power  from 400 W to 800 W in frequency ranges from 1 GHz to 4 GHz. “AS0104-800/400 has been … [Read more...]

Automatic SAR Measurement Robot Debuts at IMS 2015

 

This week at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS), ART-Fi will showcase the “SARborg,” an automatic SAR measurement robot. The SARborg saves time, improves accuracy and repeatability, and is precise with its measurements. “We call it the SARborg, because it’s a robot that runs through batteries of SAR tests completely hands-free. We have essentially roboticized the … [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...]

New Partnership to Improve EMC Testing Solutions

 

Empower RF Systems and Advanced Test Equipment Rentals (ATEC) have entered a new rental partnership that allows ATEC to distribute Empower’s high power amplifiers for EMC compliance and product testing applications. “ATEC will now carry the Empower Next Generation Platform of RF amplifiers, including the 1 to 3.1 GHz, 1 kW HPA, model 2170, which is ideal for Automotive and … [Read more...]
