Optical links for spacecraft, Part 2: Projects and progress
Using laser-sourced light beams rather than wireless RF to link spacecraft with Earth offers the possibility of a significant increase in data rates. Still, there are significant technical challenges to the concept. The previous part of the article established the need for higher-speed data links to spacecraft and their missions and looked at some of […]
Automotive-qualified GNSS module is IMU-software combo
To support the positioning market with state-of-the-art GNSS chipset and modules, STMicroelectronics has introduced the Teseo-VIC3DA, the latest member of the Teseo module family. Teseo-VIC3DA combines ST’s high-performing Automotive Teseo III GNSS IC with the automotive 6-axis MEMS inertial measurement unit (IMU) and dead reckoning software to create a convenient, automotive-qualified navigation module. Leveraging ST’s in-house manufacturing […]
Bundled, multiport cable assemblies reduce number of individual connections in 5G apps
The TMQ4 and TMQ5 bundled cable assemblies for 5G. These new solutions combine industry-standard four and five conductor MQ4 and MQ5 connectors with Times Microwave’s high-end coaxial cables. It solves the challenges associated with the ever-increasing number of RF inputs required by the MIMO antennas commonly used to accomplish the densification needs of 5G networks. […]
Optical links for spacecraft, Part 1: The throughput limitation
Using laser-sourced light beams rather than wireless RF to link spacecraft with Earth offers the possibility of a significant increase in data rates. Still, there are significant technical challenges to the concept. Scientists, engineers, and researchers communicating with spacecraft have a problem: there’s so much data coming from these spacecraft – and to send to […]
How has remote health monitoring changed in the COVID Twenties?
No roaring in this century’s twenties, just the fallout from COVID. However, some changes are for the better. Wearables for digital health and wellness were increasing before COVID but now digital healthcare, digital social activities, digital mental health support, and home-based fitness have even greater momentum. “Monitoring Health & Wellness Remotely: A Roadmap to Healthy […]

This latest line features RF50 Low PIM corrugated assemblies with Right-Angle connectors and flexible cable options. Steady Link Series-C RF50 […]
TNC and RP-TNC cable assemblies add ultra-miniature connectivity
Amphenol RF is pleased to expand its connectivity options to include standard and waterproof IP‐rated cable assemblies with TNC and RP‐TNC configurations. These assemblies are designed using 1.13 mm micro coax cable and feature the ultra-miniature AMC4 connector on one end. The other end is terminated with either a TNC or RP-TNC rear mount bulkhead […]
Brooklyn 6G: 5G has more coming before 2030
Day 1 of the 2021 Brooklyn 6G summit looked at the upcoming standards, features, and enhancements that will come to 5G while the research community explores 6G technologies.
Microwave measurement receiver calibrates signal generators and attenuators
The R&S FSMR3000 microwave measurement receiver provides analog AM, FM and φM modulation analysis. The R&S FSMR3000 is designed to make signal generator and attenuator calibration less complex and includes features that make calibrating lab test processes easier. The 8-GHz, 26.5-GHz and 50-GHz instruments provide all necessary measurement capabilities in a compact single box instrument. […]
