IEC 60747-16-5: Semiconductor Devices – Part 16-5: Microwave Integrated Circuits – Oscillators

 

From the International Electrotechnical Commission webstore: “IEC 60747-16-5:2013 specifies the terminology, essential ratings and characteristics, and measuring methods of microwave integrated circuit oscillators. This standard is applicable to the fixed and voltage-controlled semiconductor microwave oscillator devices, except the oscillator modules such as synthesizers … [Read more...]

Japan Tests New High-Speed Maglev Train

 

Testing of the first commercial model of Japan’s new high speed “maglev” train began earlier this month on a test track in Yamanashi Prefecture. Dubbed the L0 model, the new train, which uses magnetic levitation instead of conventional wheels to “float” along the tracks, is scheduled to begin service in 2027 and will connect central Tokyo’s Shinagawa Station to Nagoya. The new … [Read more...]

Temporal Cloaking Breakthrough Could Improve Telecommunications Security

 

A new temporal cloak developed for optical communications by Purdue University researchers could thwart potential eavesdroppers and improve security for telecommunications. University scientists have developed a commercially-viable temporal cloak for optical communications that acts as an independent pocket in time, allowing data to pass through without leaving any evidence. … [Read more...]

U.S. House of Representatives to Consider EMP Protection Methods

 

House Republicans have unveiled a plan that could protect the nation’s electric grid from an electromagnetic pulse, amid growing concerns of a potential massive power outage resulting from a solar flare or hostile attack. Known as the Secure High-Voltage Infrastructure for Electricity from Lethal Damage (SHIELD) Act, the legislation would reportedly push the federal government … [Read more...]

Elephants in the Test Room #1 Continued – Further Expansion on the Culprit

 

Read other posts in the "Elephant in the Test Room" series here.Recap on this thread:The room: - MIL-STD RF immunity testing – 1-18GHz 200v/mThe elephant: everyone in the room is aware that a significant fraction of the ‘calibrated’ 200v/m test field is actually created at the wrong test frequency.The culprit: notoriously high ‘start of band’ harmonics produced by all octave … [Read more...]

India Government Calls for New Proposals to Study EM Radiation Effects

 

The government of India has called for research proposals to study the effects of electromagnetic radiation on humans and other living organisms amid ongoing concerns over radiation from cell phone towers. The call for proposals, a joint initiative from the Science and Engineering Board (SERB) and the Department of Telecommunications, follows a government decision made last … [Read more...]

New Metamaterial Broadens Manipulatable Bandwidths

 

Researchers at Stanford University have taken a significant step closer to the creation of a Harry Potter-style invisibility cloak with the development of a broadband metamaterial capable of manipulating nearly the entire visible spectrum. Scientists have long believed that the creation of an invisibility cloak capable of successfully hiding objects from sight requires the … [Read more...]
