FROM THE EDITOR

Are Data Collection Concerns Delaying Self-Driving Cars?

While data concerns aren't the only reason self-driving cars are taking longer to become mainstream, they are certainly a significant factor.

SPOTLIGHT ON AUTOMOTIVE & CONNECTED VEHICLES

Looking Closer At DC Link Capacitors In Electric Vehicles

DC link capacitors are essential in EV power converters, buffering power and protecting subsystems from voltage spikes and EMI. Let's explore their roles in on-board chargers and motor drive inverters.

Automotive Quality Standards 101: What Does Qualification Really Get You?

Today’s automotive sector has overtaken computers as the fastest-growing market for electronic systems. As car technologies advance, several design factors have become even more critical.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

I Need To Measure Wi-Fi Signals - Now What?

Conventional methods are not sufficient to characterize high-performance Wi-Fi 6 chipsets and devices. Crest factor measurements and CCDF are valuable tools for Wi-Fi power measurement.

Automotive Ethernet: See The True Signal

Explore automotive Ethernet, full-duplex communication, the need to separate master and slave signals, signal separation testing methodologies.

Understanding Miniaturized Automotive Coax Terminals

Automotive interconnections and the increase volume of transmitted data now require the use of high RF/high-bandwidth connections.
