by Anil Pandey A tracking system in earth station antenna tracks the motion of the satellite. Especially in the case of Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellites, that appears for the small time window to earth station antenna, it’s necessary to communicate with satellite effectively in that short duration of time and receive or download all necessary data, […]

Author: Rutronik Electronics staff As supercapacitors, or electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), become more and more widely used, they are increasingly looked at as replacements for batteries. However, in many cases a 1:1 exchange is impractical or even impossible. Nevertheless, supercaps have their place. Batteries and supercaps are based on completely different energy storage methods. Looking […]
Jürgen Geier, Christian Kasper, Jochen Neller, Bert Weiss Rutronik Passive electronic components are getting smaller, but the are also providing better performance within the same form factor. Twenty years ago form factors such as 1812 and 1206 were widely used. Today’s most commonly specified sizes are 0603 and 0402. The range extends down to 01005 […]

Histograms are used to interpret a time-domain signal in a Tektronix 3000 Series Oscilloscope. Hi and welcome to our 54th Test and Measurement video. Right now we’ll look at histograms in the amazing Tektronix MDO3104 oscilloscope. The word histogram has not so much to do with history, although that has been suggested, as with the […]

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) — alternately known as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) when it arises in the radio frequency spectrum — is an obviously bad effect on a variety of levels. There are two transmission vectors, equally problematic. Conducted EMI arises at lower frequencies. It is carried through conductors that touch, and it may be conveyed […]

SiFive, the first fabless provider of customized, open-source-enabled semiconductors, today announced the availability of its Freedom Everywhere 310 (FE310) system on a chip (SoC), the industry’s first commercially available SoC based on the free and open RISC-V instruction set architecture, along with the corresponding low-cost HiFive1 software development board. As part of this availability, SiFive […]

by Peter Semig and Collin Wells, Texas Instruments There are numerous publications from the past two years that discuss the theoretical linear operating region of instrumentation amplifiers. The publications cover the three primary topologies of instrumentation amplifiers: three-op-amp,[1] twoop-amp,[2] and two-op-amp with gain stage,[3] which are shown in Figure 1. Each publication derives the node […]
