Designing for rail applications: weight reduction, expanding data capabilities & speeding up train maintenance

- The role of PXI in 5G new radio RF tests (01/05/2019)
  
  5G promises faster, more reliable communications. To enable mobile broadband communications, 5G uses existing & new technologies to achieve extreme data throughputs. With limited 4G LTE spectrum, 5G new radio (NR) introduces mmWave operating bands, wider channel bandwidths & complex multi-antenna configurations that all bring new demands for test.
- Digital rail revolution to reduce overcrowding & delays (01/05/2019)
  
  Since the mid-90s, the number of passengers using Britain’s railways has doubled. At peak times, the busiest parts of the network are full. And yet, demand is still set to rise dramatically in the years ahead – with an extra one billion journeys expected by the mid-2030s.
- Maximising performance of PXI-based ATE by using cable-free mass interconnects (01/05/2019)
  
  The concept of using modular instrumentation at the heart of functional ATE systems was quickly established following the introduction of the VXI platform in 1987. Today, the PXI platform is at the heart of many new functional ATE designs.
- PXISA President's intro: Global acceptance of PXI... (01/05/2019)
  
  Greetings fellow T&M professionals! I'm Bob Stasonis, recently-elected president of the PXISA. I want to thank outgoing president, Loofie Gutterman, for his efforts in increasing acceptance of PXI over the last 15 years. I have big shoes to fill, so let’s get to work!
- Digital Rail to take centre stage at Railtex 2019... (01/05/2019)
  
  Railtex is the UK’s premier exhibition of railway equipment, systems and services, bringing thousands of industry professionals together with companies serving all aspects of the infrastructure and rolling stock sectors.
- Shining a light on UV for 3D (01/05/2019)
  
  Design teams test the aerodynamics of F1 cars with prototypes in wind tunnels. Using full-size models in the testing process is expensive & time-consuming, so development engineers often use smaller-scale 3D models during testing – but how can they be sure that prototypes will be up to scratch?
- STEM Matters: NMiTE – Britain’s first dedicated engineering university… (01/05/2019)
  
  NMiTE (New Model in Technology & Engineering), first in a new wave of ‘challenger’ universities following government changes designed to shake up the sector, was inaugurated last year.
- Editor's comment: The 'B' word… (01/05/2019)
  
  We've now passed not only the Article 50-triggered 29th March date for leaving the EU, but also the (first) extension date of April 12th – but like a long-running soap opera, Brexit rumbles on. Parliament remains deadlocked, strong feelings & deep divisions persist, while much of business (and Europe) looks on aghast.
- EPDT's 2019 PXI for Test & Measurement supplement now available online (01/05/2019)
  
  Included in this month’s EPDT May issue, this year's annual EPDT PXI for T&M supplement is now available in print or digital editions.
