Technology Enablers towards Connected and Autonomous Driving
Autonomous driving relies on sensor fusion—the integration of radar, LiDAR, and cameras—to create a redundant and reliable 360-degree view of the vehicle’s surroundings. Connectivity is further expanded via V2X communications, allowing cars to interact with infrastructure and other road users for enhanced safety and traffic flow. Underpinning these systems is a shift toward Automotive Ethernet, which provides the high-bandwidth, low-latency backbone necessary for processing massive amounts of real-time data.
5 benefits DAQ can do to improve your efficiency
Data Acquisition (DAQ) systems improve efficiency by transforming physical parameters into digital insights through signal conditioning and high-accuracy digitization. Key benefits include faster problem-solving via graphical interfaces, easy documentation with automated data exporting, and immense flexibility in handling various sensors and signal types. Additionally, DAQ units are cost-effective, supporting up to 40 channels per module to reduce the need for multiple instruments, and offer extensive accessories
5G is Accelerating…Are You Ready?
5G momentum is building as 3GPP accelerates New Radio (NR) standards to support data-heavy tech like AR/VR and autonomous vehicles. While eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband) leads initial deployment, engineers face steep hurdles in mm-wave propagation, wideband calibration, and antenna complexity. Success relies on global collaboration and advanced network emulation tools to manage the shift from 4G evolution to standalone 5G across sub-6 GHz and mm-wave spectrums.
Analyzing, Sharing, and Documenting Oscilloscope Data has Never Been Easier – N8900A Infiniium Offline Oscilloscope Analysis Software
Keysight’s Infiniium Offline Analysis Software was developed to mirror the oscilloscope’s GUI exactly, allowing engineers to analyze, share, and document data from a PC without tying up lab equipment. By supporting multi-touch gestures, bookmarks, and annotated markers, the software streamlines collaboration and documentation efficiency. Additionally, the MultiScope application can synchronize up to 10 oscilloscopes, providing a unified control interface for up to 40 channels from a single laptop.
Data Analytics in the Test and Measurement Industry
Data analytics is revolutionizing design validation by transforming massive datasets from simulation and test equipment into intuitive, visual insights. By utilizing centralized repositories and visualization tools like jitter histograms and bit-error line plots, engineering teams can quickly identify performance outliers and ensure design compliance. This infrastructure not only accelerates the decision-making process for production releases but also identifies variables like test-bench discrepancies, significantly reducing costly redesigns.
Don’t Blink or 5G Will Leave You in the Dust
The 5G rollout is accelerating through fixed-wireless systems and the strategic use of Non-Standalone (NSA) architecture to leverage existing LTE cores. Global expansion is moving beyond millimeter-wave into mid-band spectrum (2.8–5.0 GHz) for Massive MIMO, while network virtualization and slicing offer new flexibility for diverse business models. Despite technical leaps, the industry continues to scrutinize ROI, looking toward IoT, connected cars, and third-party advertising to drive sustainable revenue.
Getting Better in 5G—with a Little Help from Your Friends
True 5G innovation requires the same collaborative synergy seen in legendary duos like Lennon and McCartney. By partnering early with global leaders across diverse technologies—from millimeter-wave to cloud virtualization—engineers can tackle the immense complexity of 5G more effectively than any solo effort.
How can I get more power from my power supplies?
To boost your power output, you can connect supply outputs in series to increase voltage or in parallel to increase current. When doing so, ensure all outputs have identical ratings and avoid exceeding floating voltage limits. Modern units like the Keysight E36300 Series simplify this by allowing internal configuration via a single-button interface, treating combined channels as a single controllable output.
How Signal Modulation Works
Wireless technologies like WiFi and cell phones rely on modulation to transmit data simultaneously without interference. By using a Fourier transform, engineers can shift signals from the complex time domain into the frequency domain, where they appear as distinct spikes or spectrums.
Making High Resolution Counter and Voltage Measurements with your Oscilloscope
Keysight’s InfiniiVision oscilloscopes reduce bench clutter by integrating a 3-digit voltmeter (DVM) and a high-resolution 10-digit counter/totalizer. These tools operate through standard probes but function independently of the trigger system, providing high-precision frequency measurements up to 3.2 GHz and versatile DVM modes (AC, DC, RMS) in a single, “6-in-1” instrument interface.
