Wide-band instruments in the 5G Era
by David Hall, Principal Product Manager, RF and Wireless Communications, National Instruments, Corp. Just a decade ago, signal analyzers with 20 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth were considered state-of-the-art. Within a decade, signal analyzers with no less than 2 GHz of bandwidth will likely be entry-level devices. Clearly there’s a trend toward signal analyzers supporting wider […]
Better materials for better antennas
by Kathleen Fasenfest, Senior Electrical Engineer, Antenna Products, TE Connectivity (TE) Aerospace Defense & Marine Thanks to improved materials and novel processing, antennas today can be lighter, smaller and easier to make than their predecessors. Antennas often don’t look the way they used to. The expanding consumer wireless industry has fueled rapid advances in injection […]
100-V forward converter outputs regulated 12 V without optocoupling
Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT8310, a primary-side synchronous forward controller. The LT8310 operates over an input voltage range of 6V to 100V, is targeted for power levels up to 200W and provides a drive signal for secondary-side synchronous rectification to improve efficiency. Output voltage regulation of ±8% can be attained without the use of […]
