Bourns has created an AEC-Q200 compliant 1:1 signal isolation transformer for automotive battery management systems. SM91872AL is surface-mount and will fit into a 17.4 x 10.6 x 8.1 envelope – including its visible legs. Inductance is 150 to 450µH (100kHz 100mV) across its -40 to +125°C operation range, and leakage inductance is 1µH max. Both sides have a maximum resistance ...

Molex has introduced MX-Dash, a family of single automotive connectors that combine power, signal and high-speed data inserts for zonal architectures. In wire-to-wire and wire-to-board form, they are aimed at autonomous driving modules, cameras, GPS, infotainment, lidar, displays and sensors. There are sealed and un-sealed options, and configurations with 0.50, 0.64, 1.20, 1.50, 2.80 or 4.80mm terminals as well as coaxial ...

Rigol has introduced an eight channel microwave generator that works across 9kHz to 20GHz and can deliver related coherent signals or independent signals. Called DG5208, it is one of the DSG5000 range, which also includes units with 2, 4 or 6 channels, and versions which top-out at 12GHz. If eight channels are still not enough. multiple instruments can be connected ...

Siglent has announced a spectrum analyser and a RF generator for use at 20GHz to support X and K-band measurement. SSA5085A (right) is the spectrum analyser, which works across 9kHz to 26.5GHz and offers -165dBm/Hz DANL and 105dBc/Hz phase noise, according to the company. Options include analogue and digital modulation analysis, and demodulation, including for AM, FM, ASK, FSK, PSK, ...

Rohde & Schwarz has increased the top end of its SMW200A vector signal generator to 67GHz, and slotted in a 56GHz version between that and the existing 44GHz version. “The SMW200A is first to enable flat frequency response and 2GHz modulation bandwidth above 44GHz,” claimed the company. “The 100kHz to 56GHz option covers all currently used 5G frequencies, plus earth-to-satellite ...

Siglent has introduced its most powerful arbitrary waveform and function generator. In the SDG7000A series, they are dual channel with either 350MHz, 500MHz or 1GHz bandwidth. The two independent channels can be combined to simulate interference on the main signal, or to generate modulated signals including FM, AM and PM as well as optional digital IQ modulation. With the fastest instrument, ...

Boonton SGX1000 RF signal generators cover 10MHz to 18GHz and feature phase noise as low as -123 dBc/Hz (3GHz with 10kHz offset) and jitter down to 55fs. “Proprietary design, combining direct digital and direct analogue synthesis, has resulted in an RF source with ultra-fine frequency resolution, extremely fast frequency switching, ultra-low phase noise and jitter, and superior reliability,” according to Saelig, ...

Smiths Interconnect has created the Intercompact series, a signal + Ethernet PCB connector qualified for demanding rail and industrial applications. The series has PCB-to-PCB and floating mount rack and panel parts, with bodies made from liquid crystal polymer. There are 60 and 41 way signal configurations with ‘Hypertac’ hyperboloid contacts. Described as compact, face-on the connectors are approximately 107 x 15.3mm ...

Anritsu has introduced a signal generator family with a rubidium local oscillator option that works across 9kHz to 43.5GHz. Branded ‘Rubidium’, internal time base aging is <±2×10-8/year with option 0003 (low phase noise kit) or <±1×10-9/year with option 0056 (rubidium local oscillator). “This frequency stability is achieved either by an optional internal rubidium reference or by locking the signal generator’s time ...

Smart Bench Essentials is a group of four stackable lab bench instruments from Keysight that are coupled through a single graphical interface for integrated data management and analysis, and remote operation. “All four instruments have a consistent look and feel, the same graphical user interface and connectivity,” said company v-p Christopher Cain. They all have a 7in LCD interface and ...
