The first two antennas in the Extensis range of narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) antennas include the world’s smallest ceramic NB-IoT antenna that covers Bands 5, 8 and 20 simultaneously with a single matching configuration. The antennas are specifically designed for NB-IoT solutions. The low-profile, highly efficient NCP.5820 is a NB-IoT ceramic surface mount multiband antenna that […]
Small antennas make possible cellular IoT wearable items
Altair Semiconductor and Ethertronics (a subsidiary of AVX) today announced a new small antenna technology, which will be demonstrated within a new cellular IoT wearable concept at Mobile World Congress Americas. The technology is a significant breakthrough that combines Ethertronics’ ultra-small antenna with Altair’s ALT1250 dual-mode Cat-M1/NB-IoT chipset algorithms to reduce the size of cellular wearable devices without […]
Filters suppress noise from 600 MHz to 2.7 GHz on audio lines
TDK Corporation has expanded the MAF1005G series of noise suppression filters for audio lines with four new MAF1005GAD-D types, which, thanks to their low DC resistance, feature a high rated current of up to 1.25 A. The new types employ TDK’s proprietary low-distortion ferrite that enables the new components to suppress noise at cellular frequencies from […]
Single-chip drivers for low- to mid-power motor control designs
Simplifying the design of low-to-mid-power motor controls in the 7V-45V range, the STSPIN830 and STSPIN840 single-chip drivers from STMicroelectronics contain flexible control logic and low-RDS(ON) power switches for industrial applications, medical technology, and home appliances. The STSPIN830 for driving 3-phase brushless DC motors has a mode-setting pin that lets users control the three half bridges […]
Direct drive ultrasonic ICs detect obstacles up to four meters
With the ICs E524.32 and E524.33, Elmos Semiconductor presents the next generation of the “Direct-Drive” ultrasonic IC family for the vehicle’s ultrasonic parking assistance systems. The ICs can also be used for distance measurements in industrial applications or robotic applications. The “Direct Drive” approach enables a significant reduction in system costs, since the transformer and other […]
BLDC motor control IC adds increased FLASH and Arm Cortex-M4F
Active-Semi Int. Inc. announced a new member of its PAC55XX family of PAC high-performance motor controllers with the PAC5532 IC. It is supported by an Evaluation Kit (EVK) and accompanying firmware for easy and fast evaluation of advanced motor control solutions. The new PAC5532 contains the highest-performance MCU found in an integrated motor control and driver product […]
One chip, multiple LTE signals for 3G, 4G, and 5G macro cell TDD base station work
Matt Purvis from ADI recently took us through a demo of a super-wideband RF transceiver chip that targets the expanding 5G telecom area. The point of the chip is to transmit multi-carrier LTE signals and to simplify the task of designing MIMO systems. Called the ADRV9009, it is a single-chip time division duplex (TDD) design […]
Inside look at a super-narrow band-pass filter-on-a-chip
The days of constructing bandpass filters from discrete components are pretty much over when it comes to the frequencies involved in modern wireless gear. That’s what makes the video we recently did with Alex Rabinovich from AVX interesting. Alex showed us a bandpass filter characteristic that’s super narrow, and the filter that creates also comes […]
Active noise cancellation, Part 2: Implementation
Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the basic concept of active noise cancellation, how it might be implemented in principle using analog circuitry, and the harsh reality of actually providing the ANC function. Part 2 looks at modern ANC systems and how they function, as well as their practical issues. Q: Is ANC using […]
First embedded PIFA antenna for Wi-FI MIMO apps
Laird announced the FlexMIMO – the industry’s first flexible PIFA antenna for Wi-Fi MIMO applications. The FlexMIMO has two integrated 2.4/5 GHz dual-band antenna elements specifically designed for 802.11 MIMO applications, such as automated equipment, medical devices and a myriad of Internet of Things (IoT) use cases. The FlexMIMO is based on a Planar Inverted-F Antenna […]
