A 277-V ac lighting module using the NanoDriver Series LED driver complies with industry standard 4-kV surge testing. Prior to this, ac LED modules have been mainly used only in residential lighting applications due to the technology’s limited capability to meet the surge requirements for industrial and commercial applications. This demonstration module proves that it […]
Infrared cameras include Matlab, LabVIEW plug-ins
New Fluke RSE300 and RSE600 Infrared Cameras are said to be the first fully-radiometric, fixed-mount cameras from Fluke with advanced features including Matlab and LabVIEW software plug-ins to easily analyze thermal data. The RSE300 and RSE600 cameras continuously stream up-to-60 frames of data per second, allowing for detailed monitoring of temperature patterns and variances. With […]

On-chip RF transformers could shrink thanks to rolled-up membrane design
Researchers at the University of Illinois say they have devised more efficient RF transformers by depositing conductors on a membrane that, once complete, rolls up to create a high-turns-ratio transformer. The transformers consist of two sets of rolled-up coils deposited on some kind of SiNx material. Researchers say they’ve used the technique to realize up […]
Single-carrier 300 GHz wireless link transmits 100 Gb/sec via new IEEE 802.15.3d standard
A single-carrier wireless link operating at a 100 Gb/sec data rate used advanced data coding, terahertz photonics, and wideband and linear devices to enable ultra-fast wireless connections in the 252 – 325 GHz band per the recently published IEEE 802.15.3d standard. The demonstration was devised by instrument maker Tektronix Inc. and IEMN, a major French […]
Field testers will now support eCPRI and RoE standards
New firmware will let Network Master Pro MT1000A equipment now support 100 Gbps with Ethernet Common Public Radio Interface (eCPRI) and IEEE 1914.3 Radio over Ethernet (RoE), as well as high-accuracy delay measurement functions. With the new firmware installed, the MT1000A can be used by mobile operators, communication network installation companies, and communications equipment vendors […]
High-temp SCRs block up to 600 V, carry up to 40 A
The SJ Series High-Temperature SCR (Silicon-Controlled Rectifier) Switching Thyristors offers blocking voltages (VDRM) up to 600 V and current ratings from 4 to 40 A to support a wide range of applications. By offering a wider operating margin than earlier SCRs, they make it possible to tolerate insufficient cooling and higher inrush currents at startup. […]
