Scientists at NATO are working on a new electromagnetic device that stops suicide bombers’ vehicles before they reach their target. In a new video released earlier this week, researchers in Norway demonstrate the effectiveness of their high-intensity electromagnetic beam against cars, jet skis and drones. The device works by generating a very high-intensity pulse that … [Read more...]
Compact Broadband Amplifier Expands EMC Testing Frequency Range to 6 GHz
Rohde & Schwarz has released the new R&S BBA150 broadband amplifier, which expands the frequency range for EMC testing up to 6 GHz for research, engineering, communications and radar applications. The new frequency range is an addition to the already-existing range from 0.8 GHz to 3.0 GHz. Thanks to their state-of-the-art design, the amplifiers, which have been … [Read more...]
FCC Commissioner Cites Need and Interference Mitigation Strategies in Push to Save AM Radio
Once the dominant method of broadcasting for much of the 20th century, AM radio is in increasing danger of extinction. Already overlooked by listeners in favor of FM, Internet and satellite radio services, AM radio is now facing an additional threat in the form of rising interference from smartphones and other consumer electronics. According to the Federal Communications … [Read more...]
