Taking quality DC measurements is a cornerstone of testing semiconductor chips. Learn how you can improve measurement accuracy and product quality for power management ICs, RF power amplifiers, and other ICs by implementing these foundational best practices. This guide includes the following topics:
Duke Energy implemented an end-to-end solution for plant-wide condition monitoring across 30 facilities.
It’s no secret that the power generation industry faces challenges on several fronts, one of which is asset health impact to plant uptime. This brief looks at one of the foundational elements of maintenance programs, data collection, and discusses three trends that are changing how maintenance professionals get the data they need to keep plants up and running.
Learn how a flexible test solution that expands with new technologies and addresses complex timing and simulation is essential. By using a test system that keeps pace with your cutting-edge technology, you’ll be on the road to producing safe, smart vehicles that are ready on time.
Governments all around the globe are mandating a shift from internal combustion and hybrid vehicles toward fully electric powertrains. The explosion of supervisory control and drive by wire means subsystems like steering that were traditionally connected physically are now linked by sensors, electric motors, and multiple control systems. Engineers need to understand the broader implications of the electric vehicle for the electrical grid and transportation infrastructure.
The upcoming IEEE 802.11ax High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW) standard promises to deliver four times greater data throughput per user. It relies on multiuser technologies to make better use of the available Wi-Fi channels and serve more devices in dense user environments. Explore this technology introduction white paper to learn about the new applications of 802.11ax, the key technical innovations to the standard, and its test and measurement challenges.
The global engineering academic community is witnessing an explosive growth in the number of programs and courses in mechatronics. They take the form of options or electives within conventional departments, or as fully realized programs and departments. This is not surprising as society is inundated with chatter about the “Internet of Things”, robotics, drones, etc. Additionally, within the engineering profession, the computer control of complex engineering systems is now firmly entrenched in a principal framework for increasing the precision, performance, efficiency, and decreasing the cost of modern systems. Understandably, the mechatronics programs are part of the academic response to these trends.
