In this FAQ, you’ll learn how to know if your test application needs sensing and how to properly wire a power supply to a load. Calibrating certain sensing circuits, such as those used in electric vehicles (EVs), is critical to get right. An inaccurate calibration of an automotive battery monitoring circuit could, for example, allow […]
How trace roughness, glass weave, and stackup affect signal integrity
How do circuit board materials and construction affect the integrity of signals that travel across the board?
Trigger alerts when Li-ion batteries get too hot
TTape from Littelfuse, set of temperature-triggered switches, raises a bit that indicate hot batteries. Li-ion batteries can get hot, which can cause failures or worse in the products they power. Thus, it’s important to monitor their temperature and act before damage occurs. You can monitor temperature with a set of thermocouples, scan them, and write…
TTape: A simple way to monitor Li-ion battery-pack temperature
A set of temperature-triggered switches alerts you to hot batteries. Li-ion batteries can get hot, which can cause failures or worse in the products they power. Thus, it’s important to monitor their temperature and act before damage occurs. You can monitor temperature with a set of thermocouples, scan them, and write software to produce an […]
AOC 2023: Exhibits show the latest in military wireless
Washington — The Association of Old Crows (AOC) held its 60th annual convention in Washington during the week of December 11, 2023. EE World was there on December 12. Here is some of what we saw in the exhibit hall. AOC is a defense-oriented conference that focuses on military wireless communications. In addition to product […]
Product tryout: Tektronix 4 Series B oscilloscope
EE World gets its hands dirty on the latest Tektronix oscilloscope. So many features, so little time. When Tektronix gave the press a preview of the 4 Series B 12-bit mixed-signal oscilloscope and TekScope software, I asked to try the software. Days later, the real thing arrived in a transit case. Fortunately and unfortunately, today’s […]
Video: Research at NYU Wireless and Nokia aims for 6G
Upper mid-band frequencies, above 100 GHz frequencies, and integrated sensing are some of the projects that could find their way into cellular networks. At the 2023 NYU Brooklyn 6G Summit, EE world met with Prof. Sundeep Rangan, associate director of NYU Wireless and Peter Vetter, president of core research at Nokia Bell Labs to discuss…
6G conference exhibits demonstrate possible technologies
At the 6G Symposium and 6G Summit, attendees saw the latest research that could lead to the next generation of wireless.
Open RAN: Interoperability is not plug-and-play
EE World spoke with Adam Smith of LitePoint about the progress and challenges of Open RAN interoperability and testing.
Free drivers connect Tektronix instruments to Python
Tektronix announced an open-source Python instrument driver package for the company’s test instruments. Available at no cost, the package provides you with a native Python user experience for instrument automation. With integration into daily workflows and utilizing it with a preferred Integrated Development Environment (IDE), engineers use features such as auto-complete, precise type hinting, comprehensive […]
