The increased demand and the pressure for improving battery performance have intensified the need for mathematical modeling. Modeling and simulations allow for the analysis of an almost unlimited number of design parameters and operating conditions at a relatively small cost. Experimental tests are used to provide the necessary validation of the models.

RFSoC FPGA Deployment Strategies
This paper provides a look at how RFSoC compares to the current trends in A/D and D/A converters and the strategies for getting the most performance out of this new family of FPGAs.
Bluetooth Low Energy (V5.0) RF-Test for Internet of Things Applications
This application note describes how to perform the measurements defined in Bluetooth test. As an alternative solution, we also cover how to perform almost all of the measurements with a spectrum analyzer and signal generator.
Self-Driving Rovers Traverse Mars-Like Moroccan Desert
The Sahara Desert region in Morocco was recently home to a few unlikely visitors—three rovers and more than 40 engineers. The team tested automated navigation systems, at five different sites, in a 2-week trial period for future space missions. However, before testing could begin, a drone mapped the environment, “producing digital elevation models down to […]
Ultrafast CO2 Sensor Used to Upgrade CO2meter’s Datalogger for Quicker Results
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an ideal fire suppressor for many applications, because apart from actual fire damage, there is no clean-up or residue associated with a CO2 system – unlike with foaming agents or water. When a fire starts, high-pressure CO2 is released into the area it is protecting. Carbon dioxide gas displaces the oxygen […]
Audio Analyzer Offers Improved Sine Generator Frequency Stability
Audio Precision announced the introduction of the APx555 B Series analyzer, part of their B Series APx audio analyzers. Already the market leader in audio test performance, the second-generation APx555 offers improved sine generator frequency stability, lower system residual distortion, single-ended, balanced analog output and an optional ADC test mode which provides VBias, a common […]
