RF Conformance Test System Wins PTCRB Approval
Anritsu has received the world's first PTCRB approval for its ME7873L RF Conformance Test System meeting the LTE Rel-10 Carrier Aggregation Standard. The new 4G mobile LTE-Advanced standard supports the carrier aggregation function offering faster communication speeds than the LTE technology now being deployed worldwide.
Field Probe Calibration Expanded at EMC Test Centre
TESEQ has expanded its capability in field probe calibration to deliver calibration data at all frequencies defined in the IEC 61000-4-3 standard. The company can now offer field probe calibration data to 6GHz, allowing customers to compensate for frequency variations within the probe with greater precision, through the reduction of measurement inaccuracies. In addition, probe linearity data can also be provided.
Data Acquisition Software Targets Windows and Linux User
The sixth generation of the SBench 6 data acquisition software has now been released by Strategic Test, and it is now available for both Windows or Linux users. SBench continues to support all of the companies PCI Express, PCI, PXI and CompactPCI digitiser, waveform generator and high-speed digital I/O cards, some 300 variants in total.
SEGGER J-Link – First Debug Probe supporting Infineon’s Single Pin Debug Interface
SEGGER has added support for Infineon’s Single Pin Debug Interface for the XMC1000-series of Infineon Technologies to the J-Link family of debug probes. The J-Link is the only commercial debug probe in the market capable of connecting to a device with the SPD-interface.
MSC now offers the new L26 multi-GNSS module from Quectel.
The new L26 module from MSC features ultra low power consumption of only 21 mA in tracking mode/29 mA in acquisition mode and a high sensitivity of -165 dBm in tracking operation/-148 dBm in acquisition operation.
Synopsys Unveils New Synthesis-Based Test Technology Delivering Up to 3X Higher Compression
Synopsys today unveiled a new, innovative test technology to further reduce the cost of testing silicon devices by delivering up to 3x higher test compression and minimizing the time required to test each silicon die.
Insertion Loss Test System Upgraded To Meet SET2DIL Enhancement
Polar Instruments says that its Atlas Si SET2DIL (Single Ended TDR to Differential > Insertion Loss) insertion loss test system will be upgraded to support Bidirectional SET2DIL from June 2013. This upgrade follows the recent IPC proposal for SET2DIL insertion loss testing to be enhanced with Bidirectional SET2DIL. Polar Instruments’ customers using previous versions of the Atlas Si test system will be offered an upgrade, at no cost, to suppo...
Current Transducer Opens Door to Measurements at Higher Temperatures
Power Electronic Measurements (PEM) has launched its latest generation of Rogowski coils for non-contact current measurement, designed specifically for monitoring today’s most advanced power systems and semiconductors. The new CWT Ultra-mini probe offers higher maximum frequency and increased stability over a wider operating temperature range.
