Rigol has introduced a 4.5GHz spectrum analyser with 10MHz of real-time analysis bandwidth, which can be upgraded to 40MHz at any time, and there is an optional tracking generator. The instrument is part of a new family, called RSA3000, which also includes a 3GHz version and follows on from the higher spec RSA5000 family announced earlier ...

MIT is using radar and artificial intelligence to sense people’s postures and movement, even through a wall. Led by Professor Dina Katabi from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). the project, ‘RF-Pose’ can mimic a real person as they move, creating a dynamic stick figure that walks, stops, sits and moves its limbs. ...

LP360 is the first of the Fischer Freedom series of connectors which have been designed to integrate with clothing. Designed for easy connection, the key-less plug and socket can be presented to each other as any angle around the mating axis “ensuring that the cable can always go straight to the device. No more twists ...

Adding analogue processing to digital hardware is the key to adaptability and maximum battery life in the nano-scale age, according to the University of Southampton, which is advocating memristors and charge-based processing as the way to do it. Memristors are non-volatile electrically-adjustable resistors. Made from metal oxides, they scale well and are proposed as memory ...

Yale scientists have uses sound waves to amplify light in a new type of silicon laser for photonic ICs, side-stepping the problem of silicon’s indirect bandgap. “Silicon’s intrinsic properties, although very useful for many chip-scale optical technologies, make it extremely difficult to generate laser light using electrical current,” said Yale scientist Nils Otterstrom. “It’s a ...

MIT researchers have developed a novel transmitter that frequency hops for each individual 1 or 0 bit of a data packet – so once per microsecond for 1Mbit/s, “which is fast enough to thwart even the quickest hackers”, according to MIT. The system can protect against selective jamming. For example, explained the University, Bluetooth LE ...
