 Meeting the required
thermal testing requirements and performing it in less
time is what TotalTemp Technologies offers. When a device is suited to testing
on a thermal platform, that will always be our first recommendation. That is to
say, the device has a fairly low profile and a flat thermally conductive
surface. Fortunately, many electronic modules such as microwave modules and
power amplifiers are already optimized for this configuration of test. Applying
some thought to the process can make it more efficient. If a little bit of
fixturing helps the device have a good thermally conductive surface, that will
go a long way to facilitate faster testing. A secondary sensor on the device,
especially if it is tall, can tell you when the point you actually care about
has reached the required temperature. The optional Synergy Nano advanced
temperature control algorithm can assure the fastest ramp to temperature and
avoid excessive overshoot, which could damage parts. Keeping in mind how much
more effective conductive heat transfer is, sometimes it just doesn't work for
the device to be tested. In that case, a temperature chamber remains the best
choice, TotalTemp is here to offer temperature chambers with fast, programmable
transition rates and sufficient airflow to ensure good heat transfers to and
from the device...

 San Francisco Circuits, a leading provider
of high-quality printed circuit board (PCB) solutions, has published a new resource
on
PCB assembly drawings covering polarities, Pin 1 marking and anode/cathode
markings. Learn more about understanding the XY file, component locations, and
polarized component orientations on their website. In the realm of printed circuit
board (PCB) manufacturing and assembly, attention to detail is paramount. Every
element, from component placement to orientation, plays a crucial role in ensuring
a successful and efficient assembly process. One vital aspect of this process is
the proper utilization of the assembly drawings...
 Considering medical-diagnosis and other
safety-critical, sensory-processing applications that require accurate decisions
based on a small amount of noisy input data, the study notes that while Bayesian
neural networks excel at such tasks because they provide predictive uncertainty
assessment, their probabilistic nature requires increased use of energy and computation.
The increase is caused by the fact that implementing the networks in hardware requires
a random number generator to store the probability distributions, i.e. synaptic
weights. "Our paper presents, for the first time, a complete hardware implementation
of a Bayesian neural network utilizing the
intrinsic variability
of memristors to store these probability distributions," said Elisa Vianello,
CEA-Leti chief scientist. "We exploited the intrinsic variability of memristors
to store these probability distributions, instead of using random number generators."
A team comprising CEA-Leti, CEA-List and two CNRS laboratories...
 Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test
equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post that covers how
to find the right
AC
Power Supply with enough output power for each component, device, and system
during testing. While precisely controlled AC electricity may not be needed when
testing DUTs powered by DC power, an AC supply can help simulate real-world operating
conditions. For certain DUTs, such as electric motors, a well-controlled AC power
supply can mimic the conditions in which the DUT will operate, including power supply
line fluctuations, peaks, and surges. AC power supplies can be compared by electrical
capabilities, such as maximum root-mean-square (RMS) voltage, maximum RMS current,
maximum frequency, and maximum power in volts-amperes (VA) at a given frequency.
They can also be considered by physical attributes, such as the size and weight
needed to fit an application. This is a glimpse of several AC power supplies having
sufficient output power for feeding a wide range of DUTs...
 Sam Benzacar of Anatech Electronics, an
RF and microwave filter company, has published his November 2023 newsletter that,
along with timely news items, features his short op-ed entitled "If Extraterrestrial
Life is out There, We're Closer to Finding It." In it, Sam discusses the current
state of the worldwide search for alien intelligent life. SETI has been around for
as long as I remember - established November 11, 1984. That means SETI and related
efforts have been at it for four decades, with no qualifying signals having ever
been identified (which is not to say might have been received but not recognized).
That is just a blip in time on a universal scale, so it is no reason to demur the
effort. Astronomical equipment in all wavelengths - radio, microwave, mm-wave, infrared,
visible, ultraviolet, x-ray - is advancing in sensitivity and speed at an extreme
rate. Keep in mind that prior to the Hubbell Space Telescope, there was still a
debate as to whether the entire sky, if examined closely enough, would be filled
with celestial objects. Now, telescopes operating outside the optical range with
fine resolution are detecting stars and galaxies hiding behind regions of interstellar
gas that blocks light in the red-to-blue visual spectrum. A civilization would need
to have been emitting electromagnetic signals for much longer a time than the 150
years or so of those originating from the Earth in order for the probability of
something intercepting our position in the universe with enough power to detect...

 Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test
equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post entitled "Surveying
EV and HEV Power Testing Solutions" that covers how tunable power sources and
wide-dynamic-range analyzers can examine electric power systems of EVs/HEVs. As
more drivers adopt EVs and HEVs, they wonder about maintenance costs and routines
compared to traditional motor vehicles with internal-combustion engines. HV battery
systems in EVs and HEVs are among these vehicles' most important components since
the greatest driving ranges are reached at their fullest charge capacities. They
must be regularly tested to ascertain their status and capacities as part of a regular
EV or HEV maintenance routine. Battery systems can be evaluated through voltage
and power measurements, but additional test procedures can be helpful in monitoring
the performance levels of these many additional "supporting" electronic components
in EVs and HEVs...

 Sam Benzacar of Anatech Electronics, an
RF and microwave filter company, has published his October 2023 newsletter that
features his short op-ed entitled "The Resurgence
of the Traveling-Wave Tube." In it, Sam demonstrates an impressive knowledge
of the state of the TWT industry. As is always the case with technology, the desire
for greater functionality, lower cost, higher reliability, and small size and weight
drive the research and development for fulfilling the need. Sometimes ideas are
borne of fantastic fictional accounts of future scenarios, but most often it is
the need to break through the barriers of existing science to achieve a goal. As
the old saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. Being a frequent surveyor
of tech news sites, I read occasionally of TWT products and research, but I do not
recall seeing where the efficiencies have nearly doubled over previous designs,
so that was a surprise. Incremental advances in TWT research does not receive the
same amount of print space as, say, photovoltaic semiconductors, which produce headlines
whenever scientists manage to squeeze another 0.1% efficiency in the conversion
of sunlight to electricity (in a laboratory environment). Per Sam's piece, the surging
demand for traveling-wave tubes is being driven by the inability of semiconductors
to provide power levels required for unique applications...

cannot be found, or the requirements are such that a custom approach is necessary...
 Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test
equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post that covers how
important
DC power supplies and loads are to control energy on the workbench and often
serve as starting points for new product development. DC loads and power supplies
work together to define the behavior of a device under test (DUT) in response to
applied energy, not just in performance but in reliability and compatibility with
other electronic devices. Power supplies are haunted (get
it - Halloween coming?) by two forms of noise: normal-mode output noise and
common-mode output noise. Normal-mode noise is generated by a power supply’s internal
circuitry while common-mode noise is earth-referenced noise originating from the
power line or source. On the other hand, DC loads help evaluate power conversion
devices and systems, including power supplies and rechargeable batteries for electric
vehicles (EVs). The simplest starting point when searching for a DC power supply
is the amount of energy it supplies...

 Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test
equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post entitled "Optical
Spectrum Analyzers Shed Light on Fiber-Optic Cables" that covers the process
of evaluating the performance of fiber-optic cables by picking the proper optical
spectrum analyzer for the job. Numerous test equipment provides insights into fiber-optic
cable quality, but one of the handiest and most versatile for the task is the optical
spectrum analyzer (OSA). For the best results, fiber-optic cables should be measured
before installation and tested as part of a regular maintenance schedule. An OSA
measures and displays the distribution of light across a single wavelength or wavelength
range. It can be used to explore how environmental effects, such as temperature,
impact fiber-optic cable performance within its range, and how physical effects,
such as bending or looping of cable, can affect performance. Evaluating the performance
of fiber-optic cables requires a unit such as an OSA with the wavelength range to
cover the bands and wavelengths used within any applications of interest...

 Sam Benzacar of Anatech Electronics, an
RF and microwave filter company, has published his August 2023 newsletter that features
his short op-ed entitled "LMDS is Back as
5G Fixed Wireless Access." In it, Sam discusses how Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)
is fundamentally a remake of the 1990s scheme called Local Multipoint Distribution
Service (LMDS). I remember when it was considered a big deal, coming at the beginning
of the wireless access era, concurrent with affordable cell phone service. LMDS
was eventually abandoned due to technical difficulties (lack of sufficient range
at available power levels), and then the bursting of the tech bubble in 1999 was
the final blow. As always, Sam's knowledge of all facets of the communications industry
is apparent, having been acquired first-hand as an active participant along the
way...
 TotalTemp Technologies, a worldwide leading
provider of research laboratory and production temperature chambers and thermal
platform equipment, introduces their model
VmSD49 N Cryogenically Cooled Temperature Vacuum Chamber (TVAC), which performs
thermal tests through the use of forced air convection. TVAC systems increase understanding
of how components and materials respond in a space simulated environments Space
simulation adds another dimension to thermal testing. In vacuum environments, heat
is transferred by radiation or conduction since transfer by air currents (convection)
is of course not possible without air. This is easily accomplished using thermal
platforms in portable TVAC systems. As is the case with temperature chambers, space
simulation systems are often sized considerably larger than required due to a lack
of knowledge of what future requirements will be. This results in several inefficiencies.
Portable space simulation equipment is cheaper to acquire Smaller systems don’t
take up as much valuable lab space to use and to store when not in use...

 Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test
equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post entitled "Get a Charge Out
of Testing EV Batteries" that covers the different units that meet the needs
of large batteries used in modern EVs, specifically when it comes to testing the
battery's charge capacity and operating lifetime. It's important to note that having
access to suitable test equipment has played a major role in the development of
high-density DC electric power packs capable of adding many miles to the ranges
of modern EVs and HeVs. Battery packs for EVs are energy storage systems comprised
of many small cells. Each section of the battery pack contributes electric power
to the whole and all the sections are designed for high power and high reliability.
EV battery packs do degrade in performance over time, eventually losing the capability
to hold the original amount of energy during a recharge cycle. Testing an EV battery
for charge capacity is one way to understand its capabilities at that time and to
project its operating lifetime...
