Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Filters Standard
IEC 60862-2:2012 gives practical guidance on the use of SAW filters which are used in telecommunications, measuring equipment, radar systems and consumer products. IEC 60862-1 should be referred to for general information, standard values and test conditions. This part of IEC 60862 includes various kinds of filter configuration, of which the operating frequency range is from … [Read more...]
Just when you thought it was safe to turn off the light…
Well, I’ve used my quota of words for the month of May so now I’m going to have to make the next several posts somewhat shorter. That’s what happens when you get on a really passionate topic. The last post was about smart electric meters and the un-smart way in which the power companies have tried to make their case. We all know that it falls under the heading of WIIFM . . . … [Read more...]
New Digital Airport Surveillance Radars for Naval Bases
The U.S. Navy has purchased two more radar systems from Raytheon Company as part of a continuing effort to replace outdated analog air traffic control systems with digital technology. The new radars will be installed at military bases in New River, N.C., and Quantico, Va. The Digital Airport Surveillance Radar (DASR) ASR-11 is the first fully digital, solid-state radar to be … [Read more...]
Comments on RF Radiation Hazards
This is only the second time around so you already know this blog is new, and I won’t have to remind you. Previously I made some comments about crowding and protecting the RF spectrum. It’s really difficult to protect it because there are organizations that feel a need to utilize RF communications to eliminate jobs and increase profitability. I once had a boss … [Read more...]
EM Conductor Coincident With River Property Graphite Occurrence
Standard Graphite Corp. has received the results from an electromagnetic airborne geophysical survey on its River property, Québec. These results again confirmed that the graphite occurrence present at surface is associated with a conductive horizon extending for several kilometres. The results from the survey outline a well-defined conductor in association with metasedimentary … [Read more...]
Microcontrollers for Motor Control Applications
Piccolo™ microcontrollers from Texas Instruments Incorporated are bringing new efficiencies and innovations to motor control applications. The TMS320F2803x and TMS320F2806x Piccolo microcontrollers now contain a C-programmable, integrated control law accelerator (CLA) co-processor via a new C-compiler to enable even greater levels of innovative designs. The CLA is a 32-bit … [Read more...]
Group to DoD: Focus on Development of Directed Energy Weapons
According to a new analysis by the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, the U.S. should focus on the development of directed energy weapons to counter efforts to restrict the U.S. military’s freedom of movement. According to a Navy article, "As sophisticated non-state actors and rogue states acquire precision-guided cruise and ballistic missiles, they will pose … [Read more...]
Single Nanomaterial Yields Many Laser Colors
Brown University and QD Vision Inc. engineers have created nanoscale single crystals that produce the red, green, or blue laser light in digital displays. All of the pyramid-shaped quantum dots are made the same way, of the same elements. In experiments, light amplification required much less power than previous attempts at the technology. These are the first lasers of their … [Read more...]
