Keysight takes PXIe signal analyser to 5G
Keysight Technologies has introduced a 50GHz frequency extension to its M9393A PXIe vector signal analyser (VSA), which means it covers Ka-band frequencies and millimeter wave (mmWave) measurements. This frequency band is used for satellite comms and mmWave has also being researched for 5G mobile. The module has options to allow for continuous frequency sweeps from 3.6 to 50GHz (option FRX) ...

High speed CAN FD bus is coming to cars, says Microchip
Microchip is working with CANbus specialist Kvaser to integrate the Swedish firm’s CAN and CAN Flexible Data-Rate (CAN FD) IP in its microcontrollers. CAN FD is a higher data rate extension to the original CAN protocol as specified in ISO 11898-1, which is used for in-car networks. It allows for a higher data rate and larger packet ...
Are these the rising stars of solar?
Perovskite solar cells seem to be the promising new kid on the block and this fast-improving technology is already demonstrating silicon-like efficiency, without resorting to mono-crystalline semiconductor processing. According to researchers at Imperial College, London, the efficiency of perovskite cells has risen rapidly from less than four per cent in 2009 to over 20 per cent ...

AMD processor brings 4K graphics into industrial designs
AMD’s latest embedded processor combines a 64-bit x86 CPU core with a high-end Radeon graphics core. This allows it to carry out hardware-accelerated decode of 4K video playback. The R-series processor SoCs are designed to support the new Heterogeneous Systems Architecture (HSA) 1.0 certification for full 4K decode and DirectX 12. This represents a 22% improved graphics performance ...
