Novice engineers usually don’t learn about this problem and its solution in school, but “practicing” ones learn about it soon enough! Problem: I need to determine the change in resistance of a low-resistance sensor located many meters away. My plan was simply to apply a known voltage across the thin-wire sensor leads and measure the […]
White paper: 5G evolution – on the path to 6G
5G deployments have only recently started, and releases beyond R15 will continue to tap into the tremendous potential of 5G. However, as a new generation of cellular technology typically appears every 8-10 years, 6G can be expected around 2030. Download this white paper to explore the evolution from 5G to 6G from a service, air…
Haptics components, Pt 2: LRA, ERM, and piezo drivers
Haptics capabilities are embedded in smartphones and game controllers, and their use is expanding into robotic controls, automobile consoles, and more; the physical actuator and its driver are the key hardware elements. Part 1 of this article looked at actuators for haptics functions. This part looks at an equally important part of the haptics hardware: […]
Haptics components, Pt 1: LRA, ERM, and piezo actuators
Haptics capabilities are embedded in smartphones and game controllers, and their use is expanding into robotic controls, automobile consoles, and more; the physical actuator and its driver are the key hardware elements. Haptics-enhanced devices are all around us, even if we don’t consciously realize it. The smartphone with different vibrations depending on who is calling […]
A Connector Solution To Achieve 112 Gbps PAM4 Data Rates
By Danny Boesing, Product Marketing Director, Samtec, Inc. Design Challenges Of High Data Rate As data rate requirements approach and surpass 112 Gbps PAM4, developers are challenged with balancing increasing throughput, scalability, and density demands with concerns such as power consumption, signal integrity, time-to-market, and of course cost. To achieve these data rates, designers often […]
Why is Micro-Coaxial Preferred for High-Speed Applications?
By Nick Murata, Product Marketing, and Jack Ozeki, Field Application Engineer, I-PEX Connectors Features and Applications of Micro-Coaxial Cable As high-speed Internet improves and the usage of large-capacity memory devices increases, high-quality images and videos can be enjoyed more easily on consumer products such as PCs, tablets and smartphones. The amount of information that needs […]
How does laser level sensing work?
In a small area without critical accuracy requirements, the old school approach of a stretched string with a chalk line and a bubble level can provide adequate measurements. For larger, more critical situations, laser technology provides a substantial improvement. A laser, such as the DeWalt DW074KD, a rotary laser level accurate to 1/4 inches at […]
Why you should avoid choosing an oscilloscope based on bandwidth alone
By Kaitlyn Franz, Digilent Test & Measurement Manager When choosing an oscilloscope, it is critical to make sure that you find the perfect balance of quality and performance. Considering the massive spectrum in the price of these devices, it is worth the extra time to make sure you can get a scope with the most […]
Master wireless connectivity for IIoT with Avnet and TE Connectivity
Traditional quality improvement programs are yielding diminishing returns. As a result, many manufacturing environments are turning to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to deliver the insights necessary to initiate a next wave of significant efficiency improvements. One major area of potential in this new IIoT landscape is the use of wireless technology. Radio frequency […]
Common Misconceptions about USB Oscilloscopes
By Kaitlyn Franz, Test and Measurement Product Manager USB instruments are a commonly featured topic in Test and Measurement media. With new devices constantly launching, an especially heated debate is standalone oscilloscopes vs USB oscilloscopes. With the debate, comes misconceptions. Here’s the bottom line, there are going to be cases where one fits the application […]
