PCIe 3.0 packet switch offers fan-out, multi-host capabilities
Diodes Incorporated is introducing its latest PCIe 3.0 packet switch, the DIODES PI7C9X3G1224GP. A high-performance 12-port, 24-lane device, it can be used in edge computing, data storage, and communications infrastructure, and incorporated into host bus adaptors (HBAs), industrial controllers, and network routers. The PI7C9X3G1224GP has a low packet forwarding latency of less than 150ns (typical). […]
Step attenuators feature attenuation accuracy of ±5 dB
New step attenuators feature attenuation accuracy of ±5 dB, making them candidates for high-reliability applications demanding accurate adjustment of attenuation values. Additional superior performance characteristics for the step attenuators include 1 dB maximum insertion loss and a maximum VSWR of 1.4:1. These high-reliability step attenuators offer wide coverage and high power with an operating frequency […]
Verizon THOR: A rolling telecom network for disaster areas
EE World went inside this one-of-a-kind truck that brings many forms of connectivity to first responders.
Confused about RF-band letter designations? That’s not surprising!
Frequency bands within the electromagnetic spectrum have multiple, sometimes confusing, overlapping designations. Electronics engineers must deal with the electromagnetic spectrum as a routine part of their wired and wireless projects. This spectrum of interest ranges from relatively low frequencies in the kilohertz (kHz) range (or perhaps lower) into the tens and even hundreds of gigahertz […]
Programmable attenuators cover dc to 40 GHz
A new series of programmable attenuators covers broadband RF, microwave and mmWave frequencies ranging from dc to 40 GHz. They provide greater flexibility and programmability by allowing different values of RF signal attenuation on demand. These new high-performance attenuators are available in TTL, USB or relay-controlled options. They also feature switching speeds of 0.35 μsec […]
RF power sensors cover –60 to +20 dBm, 50 MHz to 50 GHz range
The new R&S NRPxxP RF sensor family includes units with a measurement bandwidth up to 30 MHz, a new improved design and an extended frequency range. The three-model family covers frequency ranges from 50 MHz to 18 GHz, 50 MHz to 40 GHz, and a new top model for 50 MHz to 50 GHz. R&S […]
5G radio tester supports over 500 test cases
The CMX500 radio communications tester from Rohde & Schwarz now handles over 500 RF and protocol test cases for 5G radios.
LTE data card supports Cat 13
Design the Telit LN920A13-WW data card into IoT and fixed-access devices.
Shielded power bead inductors feature high current ratings, low dc resistance
Bourns, Inc. introduced five new shielded power bead inductor series that features high-rated current, ferrite-based shielded construction, and extremely low DC resistance from 72 to 440 nH. Bourns designed the new Model SPB0705, SPB1005, SPB1007, SPB1012, and SPB1308 series to match the enhanced efficiency, low magnetic field radiation, and reduced power loss requirements in a broad variety of multi-phase integration […]
