    Are You Space Qualified?

    It would seem that the desire to explore our boundaries is built into our DNA, and as a result, has driven us into every corner of the globe with few territories untouched.  Considering this expansion, it is only reasonable we would extend this reach into the cosmos.  This reach has led to an explosion in space related applications, such as satellite communications, lunar travel, deep space satellite exploration, space stations, weather tracking, global mapping, and global positioning technology. Is your company positioned for space exploration?

Understanding edgeBoost™, bandBoost™ and coexBoost™ – Three Types Of Wi-Fi Filters

While it may generally be thought that “a filter is a filter,” there are actually many different filters that solve different problems for different types of use cases, and with different benefits. In general, of course, the purpose is to improve the quality of data communications. However, before making any decisions about including filters in your design, it might be good to understand what specific effect is desired. This paper addresses what types of filters are used and for what purposes.

Qorvo Biotechnologies Sensor-Based Technology Provides Rapid Reference-Lab Quality Tests At Point-of-Care

This white paper describes Qorvo Biotechnologies’ Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) immunosensor detection platform designed for point-of-care applications and describes analytical and functional sensitivity testing on human Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (hTSH) as an example. The Qorvo Biotechnologies’ platform is targeted to be central lab matched, with the goal of providing clinicians data that will enable quicker decision making across multiple disease states, such as in cardiac and infectious disease segments, where time to result and high performance are critical factors in the patient care workflow.

Transforming The Retail Experience – Top Four RF Opportunities

The global coronavirus crisis is placing unprecedented pressure on the retail industry. Brick-and-mortar retail spaces, like grocery stores and pharmacies, have new protocols to keep customers and employees safe. Retail is not just seeing a drop in demand. The coronavirus has also triggered a shift in consumer behavior as more spending moves from physical stores to online, even for products that people traditionally bought “offline.” While it’s unknown how consumer behavior will adapt, retailers will likely accelerate the integration of their online and offline presence if they haven’t already. They will also double down on investment in Smart Retail solutions that strengthen their position amid this transformation of retail.

Mitigate Spectrum Challenges Associated With V2X

Wi-Fi and 5G are enablers of autonomous vehicles. The challenge lies in how these technologies work together and co-exist - without impacting vehicle operation and passenger safety. This paper discusses Wi-Fi and 5G, how they co-exist with high-selectivity filter solutions to enable vehicular communications and passenger safety.

    RF Communications-Based Train Control (RF-CBTC) Showing Propagation Paths In A Train Station

    Wireless InSite’s built-in Communication Systems Analysis tool provides RSSI and SINR for various IEEE standards from 100 MHz to 100 GHz.  In this short video, a passenger train located in a station is connected to an access point (AP) mounted on the roof of the station.  RF propagation paths computed using the shooting-and-bouncing ray technique are shown.  These ray paths arrive at a receiver (Rx) antenna after they reflect and diffract from the environment, where each reflection surface attenuates the signal uniquely due to varied conductivity and permittivity material properties.
