Whether you’re putting pencil to paper for your next program bid, assessing the mass-migration costs to move your teams and testers to Windows 10, or portfolio-managing software engineers to support a growing inventory of legacy testers, you are consistently evaluated on your ability to manage cost and risk. You...
It is apparent that many older specifcations for government and military security contacts were based around the misconception that Balanced Magnetic Switches (BMS) or Triple balanced reed switches provide the highest possible security. While it is true that BMS / Triple balanced reed devices do provide “better”...
This paper explains the different dimensions that are used to classify performance in flash storage. It will highlight the difference between crucial performance numbers and explain why these numbers should only be considered as a rough point of reference. The reasons for this are the various factors that influence read...
While almost every power-supply engineer intimately knows and understands the lab setup for measuring efficiency, there are many important nuances that must be considered when measuring the efficiency of a device with ultralow quiescent current (IQ). For a device that consumes less than 1 µA, the circuit’s...
5G is now and what’s next?
5G deployments have only recently started, and releases beyond R15 will continue to tap into the tremendous potential of 5G. However, as a new generation of cellular technology typically appears every 8-10 years, 6G can be expected around 2030.

The size or power density of a power supply is a key criteria when selecting the optimum product for a given application. In applications where fans are not desirable due to noise or reliability concerns then efficiency becomes of primary concern. Power supply technology has evolved to a point where efficiencies in the...
Adoption of software defined radio architecture for secure communications is enabling armed and public safety forces to raise their situational awareness, using more capable, interoperable, secure and robust radios. However, radios have also increased in complexity and reliability requirements, obliging manufacturers and...

The simplicity of flat cable with its parallel conductor geometry eliminates many of the common sources of wiring errors and malfunction. Registration of the conductors is one - to - one with the terminating connector or board so that proper contact assignment is almost automatic.
The use of flat cable often...
