Converters sport 2×1-in footprint, six-sided shielding for reduced radiated EMI
TDK Corporation announces the introduction of the 40W and 60W rated TDK-Lambda PXD series of 2”x1” DC-DC converters. Capable of operating from a wide input voltage of 9 to 36Vdc or 18 to 75Vdc, these converters have a copper case providing six-sided shielding for reduced EMI, simplifying system compliance. Industrial control, telecom/datacom, test, measurement, and […]
Ultra-wideband, omnidirectional antennas optimized for radial isotropic measurements from 150 MHz to 18 GHz
Aaronia OmniLOG PRO Omnidirectional Antennas are compact, ultra-wideband omnidirectional antennas suited for radial isotropic use from 150 MHz up to 18 GHz, encompassing most RF sources such as LTE, GSM, UMTS, WLAN, etc. These cost-effective antennas are specified for 1 W cw receive and 100 W cw high-power transmit, making them candidates for broad-range spectrum […]
PCIe repeater IC works from 1.8 V
Diodes Incorporated has further strengthened its range of PCIe solutions with the addition of a new high-speed data rate ReDriver device. The DIODES PI2EQX16924 is the industry’s first available PCIe 4.0 ReDriver that operates from a 1.8V voltage rail, where competing solutions have to use a 3.3V rail. It addresses a broad variety of computing and […]
High-speed data challenges physical-layer optics
Calibration is important in the measuring the effectiveness of fiber-optic cables. Fluke fellows Seymour Goldstein and Jeff Gust explain why.
Fixed RF attenuator handle 300 W
BroadWave Technologies announced a 300-Watt fixed attenuator series designed for wireless applications. These attenuators reduce the amount of power delivered in a transmission line without introducing much noise or distortion. Model series 352-023-XXX is a 50-Ohm fixed attenuator with an operating frequency range of DC to 2400 MHz. Standard attenuation values are 3, 6, 10,…
Single-sweep VNA-spectrum analyzer spans 70 kHz to 220 GHz
The VectorStar vector network analyzer (VNA) family now inclues the world’s first single sweep VNA-spectrum analyzer solution that supports 70 kHz to 220 GHz. With the spectrum analyzer option installed, VectorStar can conduct single connection VNA and spectrum-based measurements to create a more efficient and accurate testing environment to verify active and passive devices during […]
