NASA’s Perseverance rover, launched in July 2020, is landing on Mars on February 18. The Perseverance is carrying several scientific instruments on board, including Finnish-made humidity and pressure instrumentation.
With two new source measure units (SMU), Rohde & Schwarz enters a market previously not addressed by the power products of the test and measurement specialist. The performance of the new R&S NGU201 and R&S NGU401 SMUs enables simultaneous sourcing and measuring of currents and voltages with high precision. The two-quadrant R&S NGU201 addresses wireless device battery tests and automatically switches from source mode to sink mode at a defined positive input voltage. The four-quadrant R&S NGU401 can also switch at negative voltages, supporting source measurements for a vast range of power supply types.
With the TRK38, TWK introduces an ultra-compact single-turn magnetic encoder developed with safety-oriented applications in mind. With a diameter of only 38 mm and a length of also 38 mm, the sensor is suitable for mounting in confined installation spaces. The safety level is high: the safety encoder detects position and speed and fulfils the requirements of SIL 2 (IEC 61508) and PL d (EN 13849). The safety-related signals are transmitted via a certified EtherCAT FSoE interface.
Anritsu Corporation is pleased to announce the availability of its new RF Regulatory Test System ME7803NR solution for regulatory compliance testing of 5G communications systems.
