Rohde & Schwarz has introduced 5GHz instantaneous bandwidth front-ends for its automotive radar test set-up. “From the automotive radar perspective, a higher instantaneous bandwidth improves the distance resolution,” the company said. AREG8-81WS (monostatic – single antenna) and AREG8-81WD (bistatic – dual antenna) are for the 76 to 81GHz band and are updates on the 4GHz AREG8-81S and …D. These work ...

Rohde & Schwarz is aiming at 6G and sub-THz research with W-band front-ends for an IF vector signal generator and a D-band thermal power sensor. SFI100A wideband IF vector signal generator The SFI100A wideband IF vector signal generator has been developed for early 6G research, high capacity wireless backhaul, fixed wireless access and automotive radar. With an RF modulation bandwidth ...

Yokogawa has announced a high-resolution extension to its DLM5000 series of scopes, with 12bit eight channel instruments at 500MHz and 350MHz bandwidth. Max sample rate is 2.5Gsample/s. “The DLM5000HD series expands Yokogawa’s oscilloscope lineup with models that deliver higher resolution for more accurate waveform analysis, and come with features that improve usability and enable easier setup,” according to the company. ...

GaGe has filled out its line of PCIe digitiser boards – essentially ADCs for PCs – with three new dual-channel models: one with with 250MHz bandwidth and 14bit 500Msample/s sampling, and two 125MHz 250Msample/s models, one with 16bit resolution and the other 14bit. The “digitisers boast ENOB [effective number of bits] of ~11+ typical”, according to the company. Inputs are ...

Sony has created a 61Mpixel interchangeable lens camera for professionals with industrial applications, such as those using drones for inspection, investigation, surveying or mapping. ILX-LR1, as it will be called, is box-shaped and measures 100 x 74 x 42.4mm and 240g. M3 screw holes allow mounting on any of its six sides, and there is a 1/4-20 UNC threaded (‘tripod’) ...

Teledyne LeCroy has announced a 65GHz 12bit oscilloscope. Called 8650HD, two 65GHz channels can be operated though 1.85mm 50Ω connectors, or it can be switched to four 33GHz channels. It is part of the 8000HD family of scopes, with six models from 20 to 65GHz, up to 320Gsample/s (two channels) and up to 8Gpoint of acquisition memory (200Mpint/s/ch is standard) ...

To address the stringent requirements of the latest microwave and mmWave testing, Siglent has increased the addressable frequency range of its RF signal generators to 40GHz. The SSG6000A has a wide frequency range of 100kHz-40GHz, even at high output power levels, claimed the company. It can act as a local oscillator and clock source, but is also an analogue signal ...

Members of the element14 community can sign up for an educational programme which the Avnet community is hosting in collaboration with NI. Called A Beginner’s Course in LabView and Test Automation, the programme is designed to introduced members to automated testing. The first prize is a year’s subscription to NI’s Test Workflow software, Pro edition, which includes LabView. The second ...

Ditronix has released the an IoT power monitor board for mains and solar energy, and a software development kit to go with it. Called ‘IPEC’, it provides three phase (3P3W, Y or Δ), split-phase, or three-channel single phase monitoring, and has an expansion ports that can be configured for DAC, PWM, MPPT (peak power tracking) or I2C outputs. “The board ...

Micsig Technology is aiming at mains and high-voltage GaN power supply development with a series of optical fibre isolated oscilloscope probes, with bandwidths up to 1GHz and risetimes down to ≤350ps. This kind of probe has no electrically-conductive path between probe tip and scope. Instead, the scope end of the probe and the probe’s head are linked by optical fibres, ...
