- STEM Matters: The COVID-19 crisis will accelerate EdTech adoption (02/06/2020)
  
  The current coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdown has had a dramatic and pervasive impact on almost every facet of our society and daily lives – including education.
- ecsn Chairman’s intro: Keeping this show on the road (01/06/2020)
  
  The primary concern for members of the Electronic Components Supply Network (ecsn) throughout the current COVID-19 pandemic has been the avoidance of infection for the people they employ, their families & the wider community. Here, ecsn Chairman, Adam Fletcher discusses how the UK electronic components sector has reorganised during the current crisis – and outlines the measures ecsn members have taken to date to “keep the show on the road”...
- Connecting loops & cubes... (01/06/2020)
  
  Designs that push existing boundaries demand maximum performance from every component to achieve their purpose. Nowhere is this more important than those conceived & made reality by engineers & designers tasked with projects which must travel faster & further in inhospitable environments, or those that break through previously thought of maximum attainable limits.
- Testing 5G ultra reliable low latency networks (01/06/2020)
  
  5G Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) are aimed at services with stringent requirements for latency & availability. 5G mobile networks supporting URLLC must provide low latency, with minimum packet loss or packets arriving out of order. The ITU-R (International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector) specifies one-way latency of 1ms for the user plane.
- Energy efficient 5G transmitters – thanks to Doherty designs... (01/06/2020)
  
  High efficiency is a key factor in the development of profitable 5G base station transmitters. The use of Doherty amplifiers is a viable and popular solution for achieving the corresponding output power.
