Wideband amplifier enables continuous power output up to 10W
A bench-top dual-channel DC-coupled wideband amplifier from Tabor, designed for high-frequency and high-current signal amplification is available from Saelig. With a wide bandwidth of 45MHz, and delivering 34Vpk-pk output into 50 ohms with up to 10W output power, the 9260 is an ideal complimentary amplifier to any signal source that needs a supporting power boost for demanding applications.
Notebook-sized emulator simplifies design process
High performance hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulators for testing power electronics control systems are now available from MDL Technologies following a distribution agreement with manufacturers Typhoon HIL. The new Typhoon HIL402 is a notebook sized HIL emulator offering ultra-high fidelity real-time simulation.
Flexible precision VNA test cables provide test results to 67GHz
Pasternack debuts a line of flexible precision VNA test cables rated to 50 and 67GHz depending on the series. Designed for use as VNA test port extenders, these highly durable and flexible test cables are able to withstand the rigors of test lab use where these cables are constantly flexed during common testing situations.
Software packages extend jitter tolerance testing
Two new software packages that expand the jitter load and tolerance testing capabilities of Anritsu’s MP1800A Signal Quality Analyser support the evaluation of Thunderbolt devices, and PCI Express and USB interfaces. The explosive increase in data communications traffic requires large increases in capacity and speed of digital communications systems.
Data logger enables remote monitoring
The ability to permanently record temperature, humidity and pressure at various measuring points, in inaccessible locations and at operating temperatures from -20 °C to +125 °C, and monitor them globally via the cloud are all options offered with the MSR385WD data logger from MSR Electronics.
400G test platform heads to OFC 2016 in Anaheim
A new joint effort to demonstrate the highest performance single-carrier 16QAM signal generation and analysis capabilities available at 56Gbaud has been announced by Teledyne LeCroy, Anritsu Company, Coherent Solutions and Oclaro. The demonstration of the partners’ latest optical communications test equipment platform takes place at OFC 2016 in Anaheim, California (March 22-24) on the Teledyne LeCroy stand.
NVH simulator detects boom and rumble
With the latest Noise Vibration Harshness (NVH) simulator applications, non-experts and experts alike can experience the consequences of component design decisions by driving an authentic simulation. The fully immersive experience provided by a driving simulator gives a proper context to experience driving sounds in, which affects the evaluations people make.
IoP tester targets Ethernet ECUs
An interoperability test platform for Automotive Ethernet has been introduced by RUETZ SYSTEM SOLUTIONS. This IOP tester operates within the framework of compliance tests for Automotive Ethernet. The test platform constitutes a component of the test set-up for Open Alliance Layer 1 interoperability tests for ECUs.
Portable loop test translator handles wet weather
A ruggedised version of its Portable Loop Test Translator has been launched by AtlanTecRF. Taking the portability of RF satellite communications a step further, the LRU series of Loop Test Translators come in a high visibility ruggedised housing and are designed specifically for antenna site range and other field applications.
Accurate control of HVAC
Designed for stable measurement of air velocity in ventilation ducts, the new EE650 air velocity transmitter from E+E Elektronik features selectable measuring ranges 0-10/15/20m/s (0-2,000/3,000/4,000ft/min) and high accuracy. It is also well suited for all common HVAC applications. The new E+E VTQ flow sensor element of EE650 operates on the thermal anemometer principle, is robust and insensitive to pollution.
