TÜV SÜD supports industry 4.0 with UK IoT cellular test service
Technical service provider, TÜV SÜD, has launched its IoT cellular testing service. The service will be accommodated within the existing facility, claimed to be the only laboratory in the UK to offer a dedicated Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) test and certification service. Explaining the rationale for the service, TÜV SÜD explained that NB-IoT enables multiple machines, devices and services to be connected ...
5G test: Doherty amps measure up
Doherty amplifiers can improve energy efficiency in 5G basestation transmitters, argue Gareth Lloyd and Patrick Agyapong. Doherty amplifiers, especially those with two independently driven inputs, promise significantly better energy efficiency in 5G basestation transmitters and similar applications. Power amplifiers in basestations constitute 30‑60% of the cost and 20‑60% of the energy consumption of the transmitter infrastructure, so optimal design is ...
Test for safety: Handle with care
A new standard for audio-visual and ICT equipment spearheads a new hazard-based safety approach, says Clare Glittens. Technological innovation has seen the lines become increasingly blurred between previously distinct technologies. This change means that multimedia products often fall under both IEC 60065 (AV equipment) and IEC 60950-1 (IT equipment). A new standard, IEC 62368‑1:2018 (audio/video, information and communication technology equipment, ...
