Marvell’s 88Q6113 11-port Ethernet switch enables the implementation of domain/zonal controller network architecture for automotive and is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 standard. It supports RGMII/MII/RMII/SGMII, XFI multi-speed Serdes (1/2.5/5/10 Gbps), and PCIe gen 3.0, designed for integrating the sensors required for advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous driving. The automotive industry is said to now be focusing on a ...

Sierra Wireless has selected the compact antenna test range based Rohde & Schwarz (R&S) ATS1800C for mmWave frequencies testing. The transportable product features a CATR reflector with rolled edges and a smooth surface designed to minimize scattering and provide the precise results required for operation at high frequencies. One challenge of over-the-air (OTA) testing is to maintain a compact test ...

Netherlands PC oscilloscope maker TiePie has introduced a range oscilloscopes can be used via Wi-Fi, Ethernet LAN, USB 2.0 or USB3.0. Data acquisition is between 5Msample/s and 200Msample/s is available depending on the link type. Called the WiFiScope series oscilloscopes (WS5 and WS6 and variants, see below), they have a built-in battery and, as they are wireless, can operate completely galvanically-isolated from ...

Siglent has launched a ‘plus’ series of spectrum analysers that improve upon the specs of its existing SSA3000X instruments. Called ‘SSA3000X-plus’, they are available in bandwidths of 2.1GHz and 3.2GHz and include a 10.1in touch screen. Bandwidths go from 9kHz to 2.1GHz or 3.2GHz, with the smallest resolution bandwidth (RBW) of 1Hz and -161dBm displayable noise level, according to the firm, ...

Rigol Technologies has announced 1.5GHz and 3GHz real-time spectrum analysers. Called RSA3000E, according to the company it combines the performance of a swept spectrum analyser with the analysis capability of a real-time analyser. Tracking generators are available, and instruments start at $1,799. “The RSA3000E provides the same seven visualisation modes and triggering capability as Rigol’s other UltraReal products, only at a ...
