Green standards are challenging power designers to deliver more energy-efficient, cost-effective, smaller, and more reliable power delivery systems. A critical building block within ac-dc and isolated dcdc power supplies is the isolated gate driver. These trends push the need for greater power efficiency and increased isolation-device integration.
Analog to digital converters (ADCs) are the critical downlink bridge between the electromagnetic world and that of advanced digital signal processing. Extending sampling frequencies and bandwidth capabilities of these system critical components into the higher microwave frequencies opens a myriad of opportunities for future communication engineers to advance the state-of-theart and to deliver greater flexibility in spectral usage.
Uncover how SIGINT has evolved into an asset capable of influencing conflict outcomes. In today's complex battlespace, technology and information intertwine, the effective use of SIGINT is necessary for achieving a strategic advantage. Explore the advanced signal monitoring and analysis tools at the forefront of this digital warfare landscape.
Phase noise is caused by an RF waveform’s unintentional phase modulation, degrading the overall fidelity of a signal. In this white paper, learn phase noise fundamentals, how phase noise impacts the performance of radar and digital communications systems, and the limitations and advantages of two different phase noise measurement methods.
Simulation can be a big time-saver when designing EMI filters for DC/DC converters. Power supply control chip vendors offer various filter design tools that provide reasonable design choices for filter simulation before any hardware prototype is available. However, simulated results can differ significantly for different tools if simulated models are not accurate or do not cover all the relevant components.
Discover the evolving landscape of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and their wireless communication capabilities in our latest abstract. Explore the current status of UAVs and the emerging trends in UAV wireless communication, focusing on the utilization of the ISM frequency band and mobile networks for seamless connectivity.
Building for space is challenging. Program management requirements, parts availability and delivery, parts costs, and testing costs historically make space OCXOs expensive and longlead. Standardizing specifications based on MIL-PRF-55310, NASA EEE-INST-002, NASA Parts Selection List, and GSFC Preferred Parts Lists, and procuring parts to vendors standard drawings can significantly reduce costs and improve delivery of high-performance OCXOs.
In this paper we summarize measured receive antenna performance for a commercially available 32-element phased array demonstrator. The demonstrator is configured for hybrid beamforming with eight elements per subarray and four digital channels. The test setup and calibration steps are explained sequentially along with the measured calibration accuracy achieved. Three-dimensional radiation patterns of the antenna array are shown for various electronically steered beam positions including amplitude tapering.
