The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has issued IEC 62003 Ed. 1.0 entitled, “Nuclear Power Plants – Instrumentation and control important to safety – Requirements for electromagnetic compatibility testing.” This standard establishes requirements for electromagnetic compatibility testing of instrumentation and control equipment supplied for use in systems … [Read more...]
A Real-life Story
The Sharp (and Painful) Relationship between Market and Economic Trends and One’s Engineering Field of Expertise and Career Choices In this month’s column I have chosen to bring up a real-life story received from one of our readers (name withheld). In summary, it tells the story of an RF engineer who strayed to programming fields and has a hard time coming back. The … [Read more...]
New Solid State Amplifier Features an Improved Noise Figure and Compact Design
The new Model 500A250A from AR RF Microwave Instrumentation is the first in a planned series of new “A” RF amplifiers. This first model covers 10 kHz to 250 MHZ and provides a minimum of 500 watts swept power when used with an RF sweep generator. A compact, innovative design has created a smaller size and reduced weight as compared to existing products. In fact, Model 500A250A … [Read more...]
