Viewpoint: What can boost 5G performance – and public confidence?
Dr. Ali Sadri considers how some of the limitations for 5G performance can be overcome, for example via RIS and in-building wireless coverage. With the rollout of 5G continuing to cause issues around the globe, some people would argue that it’s not yet living up to the hype. So what’s needed to unlock its potential? Dr. Ali Sadri, CTO of ...
Binder eyes miniaturisation for M8 12-pin circular connector
Binder is adding an M8 12-pin circular connector to its industrial portfolio. Featuring 12 pins on the compact M8 connector face, the connectors are aimed at projects requiring miniaturisation. Applications suggested by binder include industrial sensor technology, measurement and control, in camera technology and robotics. Miniaturisation “The future of automation lies, among other things, in miniaturization, for which we are ...
CUI gets into tweeters
CUI Devices has added tweeters to its range of loudspeakers. Called the CTW range, there are six tweeters, measuring from 30.5 x 30.5mm to 58.8 x 58.8 mm, and between 13.5 to 24mm from front to back. Oval, rectangular and round frame shapes are available, some with ferrite magnets and others with neodymium types, with cones of and paper, polyester ...
32bit dsPIC DSP-enabled MCUs from Microchip
Microchip Technology has announced a 32bit 200MHz version of its dsPIC33 series of DSP-heavy MCUs. dsPIC33A, as the family will be called, is aimed at fast closed-loop control of PSUs and motors. As with earlier dsPIC processors, the parts remain a combination of CPU and maths accelerator (‘DSP engine’), rather than a pure DSP architecture. In this fifth generation, the ...
