Rohde & Schwarz in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, will conduct a comprehensive set of tests for NB-IoT over non-terrestrial networks (NTN) to accurately verify two-way Internet-of-things (IoT) data across various operating modes using GSO and GEO constellations in line with the 3GPP Release 17. At the MWC Shanghai 2023, Rohde & Schwarz will hold a…
Microchip achieves qualification milestone with RT PolarFire FPGA
Spaceflight system developers often commit to designing with new components only after they have received MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification and are in the process of meeting the Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) Class Q and Class V standards for spaceflight component reliability. Microchip Technology has now achieved the first qualification milestone with its RT PolarFire FPGA, enabling designers…
STMicroelectronics launches 2.5V digital-to-analog converter for satellite applications
STMicroelectronics‘ RHRDAC121 radiation-hardened, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) operates down to 2.5V for use in modern, low-power system designs that older 3.3V parts cannot support. Consuming just 0.6mW at its maximum speed and supply voltage, the 12-bit 1Msps successive approximation register (SAR) DAC helps reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP) in next-generation satellites. Typically used in circuits…
