Calibrated thermal imaging core targets volume OEMs
FLIR Systems’ latest thermal imaging core, Muon is designed specifically for volume OEMs capable of integrating uncooled FPAs into their own camera solutions. The OEM process is simplified by offering a thermal subassembly that generates calibrated CMOS video out, using industry-standard interfaces.
Mobile test platform offers 4x4 MIMO carrier aggregation
Aeroflex‘s TM500 family now supports aggregation of two 4x4 MIMO carriers, allowing mobile network operators to validate the performance of networks with data rates of up to 600Mb/s. 4x4 MIMO gives mobile users faster and more reliable data connections by making use of spatial multiplexing, where multiple data streams are transmitted simultaneously via separate antennas to improve throughput.
