The complexity of modern day electronics has resulted in the need for better EMI diagnostic capabilities at EMC test laboratories to combat the increase in EMI compliance failure rates. One solution is to use real-time mode which enables visualization of the spectrum to provide insight in the identification of the source of failing EMI emissions. This white paper describes the cause of the shift in failure rate that many companies are experiencing, the need for increased speed in testing, and the revolutionary EMI diagnostic capability built into modern EMI receivers.
Role Call, a series on RF Globalnet, takes a “peek behind the curtain” to help answer the questions related to different jobs and career paths in the RF and microwave industry. Recently, Mumtaz Bora, Senior Staff Packaging Engineer at pSemi, took time to answer some questions about her occupation.
Industry 4.0 is the new industrial revolution where existing systems are networked together to create cyber-physical systems. It is built on a reliable communications infrastructure enabling data extraction from machines, factories, and field devices to be sent to the cloud for aggregation and processing. This white paper discusses the importance of creating reliable wireless communications systems for Industry 4.0 and offers considerations for improving network coverage.
This white paper challenges the achievements in the development of a new simulation methodology to estimate, investigate and address radiated EMI/EMC/Co-existence issues.
This article discusses the basic active antenna beamforming concepts that form the heart of the mmWave 5G system, as well as the general beamforming architectures used in active antennas.
MIMO technology is ideal for communications applications where clear line of sight is harder to achieve, and the abundance of RF and microwave systems can pose interference issues. This paper covers a range of basics of MIMO communications for readers of all technical levels.
“It’s not much of an overstatement to say that, without significant innovation and new entrants to the market, the RF filter is quickly becoming the bottleneck to emerging 5G services, autonomous cars, IoT, and wireless medical applications.”
On-site testing is an efficient technique for completing EMC product testing to EMC industry standards. Shielded rooms and anechoic EMC test chambers are cost-effective, time-saving, offer confidentiality for company developments and patents, and increase reliability.
This white paper presents the tools and techniques used to overcome limitations from unknown source model characterization and complexities of the environment for the most accurate source antenna measurements in the most complex test environments.
Tunable MEMS capacitors are micro-meter-scale electronic devices controlled through different actuation mechanisms. This paper proposes a design for an electro-thermally actuated tunable MEMS capacitor suitable for filters, oscillators, phase shifters, and impedance matching networks.
