The international demand for electric cars has been mounting every year, which is mostly because of the serious environmental concerns and regulations, degrading air quality, and escalating consumer demand. Moreover, top-notch technological innovations in EV and lithium-ion battery technologies are largely responsible for their augmented popularity. Electrification…
For engineers who spend their design time in the single-digit, low-voltage world, the phrase "high voltage" may conjure up voltages in the double digits, perhaps as high as 24V or 48V DC, or even the triple-digit domain of line voltages of 120/240 VAC. Yet there's a huge and essential world of engineering design that must be done at 1000V, 1500V, and higher voltages…
In addition to creating an economic boost, it was always expected that this astoundingly revolutionary approach to transportation electric mobility would provide a significant amount of employment, which would be necessary to overhaul the conventional auto industry, which is still dependent on the unsustainable burning of petrol and diesel. EVs have the potential to…
There are no toxic emissions from the tailpipe of electric cars, but the electricity generation while charging the cars might discharge carbon pollution. The volume depends on how the local power is sourced, that is utilizing natural gas or coal that are responsible for carbon pollution, while renewable sources like solar or wind do not emit toxic gasses. While…
Back in 2019, before the pandemic, the semiconductor equipment industry suddenly faced a huge slowdown coupled with severe technical impediments, which are still looking for an accurate solution. In 2017, the same equipment sector witnessed a colossal demand and the same has been extended into Q1 of 2018. But, interestingly, in the middle of 2018, the memory market…
When starting a project, the first challenge is to select the best parts for it. In the case of a tracking project, the main parts would be the GPS and GSM modules are the main components. This article will help you find the best ones from the choices available in the market. We will discuss the features or specifications you should check before sourcing these parts…
A year back, the government of India has taken an initiative to craft the country into a five trillion dollar economy towards the end of 2025, and one of the key requirements to turn this goal into a reality is revolutionizing the nation’s digital infrastructure. The country has already dug deep into enhancing the digital infrastructure, but experts claim that 5G…
Raspberry Pi Pico is a low-cost, versatile microcontroller development board from the Raspberry pi foundation. It is constructed around the RP2040 chip, which was designed in-house by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It was released in January 2021, and it’s been a very popular development board among the DIY community ever since. Now, a year and a half after the first…
In the past few years, India has witnessed an applaudable escalation in in-house production of electronics goods, but in spite of this augmentation, the country is still dependent on imports of electronic components from other countries. It shows that although several advancements are taking place in manufacturing and technology, there are still various challenges…
Devoid of electromagnetic waves, an anechoic chamber (Figure 1) is a shielded room designed to provide an ideal environment for testing electronics. Anechoic means free from echoes—or non-reflective. These chambers are used in compliance testing. The surfaces of anechoic chambers are lined with carbon-based absorbing materials (Figure 2) and ferrite tiles in order to…
One of the biggest challenges faced by the testing and measurement (T&M) services and solutions is to adapt to the changing times and new equipment that are flooding the market. The increased product complexity has prompted growing demand for precision testing at every stage of the product life cycle and companies have to be ready for the demand. Along with…
5G will not only boost mobile telecom but also the IoT with technology such as DECT-2020 NR.
Mobile communications has followed a development path signposted by “generations”. It forms an interesting history kicking off with the retroactively applied ‘0G’ label used to describe analog systems that predated the cellular approach.…
