Short range 60GHz mmWave link replaces industrial connectors

RoProxCon is a electrically-isolated non-contact information link that can transfer duplex data at up to 6Gbit/s over 40mm. Created by German company Rosenberger, it uses 60GHz transceivers built around STMicroelectronics’ ST60A2 wireless chip. “Due to increasing automation, more and more electromechanical systems used in industrial plants are being connected to one another,” according to Rosenberger. “The ...

Facebook open source PCIe Timing Card combines atomic clock and off-air GPS reception

Facebook has open-sourced the precision PCIe timing card it created for its servers. It combines frequencies from a miniature atomic clock and GPS receiver, both on the card, with FPGA-based qualification that combines the two. The local clock is there for when satellite signals are not available, or are unreliable – for example during a ...
