- Tutorial: A step-by-step guide to the PCB fabrication process (01/03/2021)
  
  A printed circuit board (PCB) is the foundational building block of most modern electronic designs: a thin board that mechanically supports & electrically connects electronic components. Used in almost every electronic device imaginable, PCBs have become increasingly complex, while simultaneously needing to become more compact.
- VarioTAP emulation technology now available for two more STMicroelectronics processors (01/03/2021)
  
  GÖPEL electronic has extended its processor emulation technology, VarioTAP to two further processors from STMicroelectronics.
- T&M case study: Advancing 5G telecommunications research using software-defined radio techniques (01/03/2021)
  
  The Wireless Communications Research Laboratory at Istanbul Technical University (ITÜ) conducts research projects on many different signal processing topics, including fading channels, multicarrier communications systems, modulation techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), and advanced wireless communications security issues.
- Tutorial: How to prepare for 2G & 3G network shutdowns – and the transition to 4G LTE & 5G (01/03/2021)
  
  With some cellular networks sunsetting & 5G networks growing, the entire landscape of cellular connectivity is changing. For businesses that have deployed devices based on older networks, there are questions today around the life expectancy of those networks, how long 4G LTE networks will be viable, and if 5G will mature soon enough for their needs.
- How LoRa opens up new opportunities in industrial IoT (01/03/2021)
  
  Over the past 5 years, wireless technology has grown in importance in the industrial sector. So why all this interest in wireless? Well, there are several key reasons – and in this tutorial, Yuan Lee, Product Sales Manager & Tim Taberner, Technical Sales Director at industrial IoT specialist, Advantech introduce us to wireless technologies & their applications in industrial automation, explaining why both interest & adoption have grown…
- Silent motor start-up: Reducing noise in sensorless field-oriented motor control – even at low speed (01/03/2021)
  
  The move to electrically commutated motors has brought about significant energy savings & reduced maintenance demands compared to brushed motors. However, without the mechanical brush-ring combination to provide a commutation point, motor drive developers must resort to alternative commutation approaches.
- Anritsu launches new modules to make production-line testing more efficient (01/03/2021)
  
  Anritsu has announced the simultaneous launch of its TRX Test Module MU887002A, designed to improve the efficiency of production-line inspection of wireless communications (including 5G) devices & its space-saving Universal Wireless Test Set MT8872A.
- Electrolube’s UVCL coating increases durability of electric vehicle (EV) management system (25/02/2021)
  
  With the rise in demand for electric & hybrid vehicles, protecting battery systems from harsh environments has never been more critical. The secret to enhancing battery performance, safety & reliability lies in implementing the most effective electro-chemical protection materials, particularly given the increasing trend towards high-capacity, fast charging battery packs.
- 5G solution providers sign up to SONIC, a new joint programme between Ofcom & Digital Catapult (25/02/2021)
  
  Eight 5G solution providers have joined the SmartRAN Open Network Interoperability Centre (SONIC), a joint programme between Digital Catapult & Ofcom to test interoperability & integration of open networking solutions. SONIC begins with OpenRAN & focuses on open software-centric networking. SONIC will be operational from May 2021, coupling laboratory capabilities with real world indoor & outdoor deployments.
