 TotalTemp Technologies, a worldwide leading
provider of research laboratory and production temperature chambers and thermal
platform equipment, introduces their model
VmSD144−N Thermal Platform Vacuum Chamber. The efficient advantages of thermal
platforms are a natural for conductive heat transfer in high vacuum applications.
With all the new hardware going into space, where service calls are rare, thermal
vacuum testing is an important part of testing high altitude and satellite equipment.
Affordable and configurable for your application. Simultaneous high vacuum and thermal
testing without renting time at a test lab. Thermal platforms to fit your vacuum
chamber or fully turn-key systems. Platform shown inside bell jar is 6.5” x 7.5”,
other sizes and different bell jars available. Aerospace environmental testing in
a thermal vacuum chamber allows for the exposing and weeding out potential problems
due to extreme temperature and atmospheric pressure changes as experienced in space.
With equipment destined for space, the stakes are much higher with the cost of a
launch, chances of a failure could be catastrophic plus service calls in space have
historically been very costly. The game of basic thermal testing in space is a little
different than testing for land-based systems, mainly because the lack of heat transfer
by air. The intentional and unintentional transfer of heat by convection makes a
big difference from what could be common sense solution in an environment with air...
 Sam Benzacar of Anatech Electronics, an
RF and microwave
filter company, has published his September 2023 newsletter that features his
short op−ed entitled "Wi-Fi: More Than High-Speed Connectivity." In it, Sam discusses
the pervasive use of existing and planned WiFi networks for use in monitoring and
tracking applications. The IEEE has created a new standard, IEEE 802.11bf, which
"... Aims to Enable a New Application of WLAN Technology: WLAN Sensing." "This standardization
project aims to enhance the reliability and efficiency of WLAN sensing and establish
interoperability of wireless devices to enable a wide range of new and useful applications.
Measurements obtained with WLAN sensing can be used to support new industrial and
commercial applications in semiconductor manufacturing, enterprise networking, and

 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...
