Webinar: Considerations for passive components in power electronics using wide band gap semiconductors
OFC 2024: It’s AI or die
Today’s data rates are already too slow, and so are tomorrow’s. Expect more complaints about slow networks in 2025.
What is intermodulation, and is it good or bad? Part 1
Sinusoidal inputs applied to a nonlinear system produce an output containing different frequencies, and the results can be good, bad, or ugly. According to the dictionary definition, intermodulation is “the production in an electrical device of currents having frequencies equal to the sums and differences of frequencies supplied to the device.” In the literature of […]
Calibrator automates oscilloscope calibrations on four channels
Fluke’s 9500C oscilloscope calibrator with remote heads streamlines oscilloscope calibration from the front panel and through PC software.
How can you detect LEL?
For combustible gases, the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) or Lower Flammable Limit (LFL) is the minimum concentration of vapor in air below which the propagation of the flame does not occur when it contacts an ignition source, such as a spark or flame. In a specific area or space, if the LEL of a gas […]

Underfill epoxy offers high glass transition temperature
Master Bond EP114 is a two-component, low viscosity, NASA low outgassing rated, heat-cured epoxy that can be effectively utilized for underfill, coating, impregnating, and porosity sealing applications. This optically clear compound features high dimensional stability due to its nano-silica filler material. It has been successfully tested for abrasion resistance per ASTM D4060-14 and readily withstands […]
What is hyperspectral imaging?
Hyperspectral imaging is the most comprehensive of the three common image processing technologies. The other two technologies are red-green-blue (RGB) imaging and multispectral imaging. All three are noninvasive and nondestructive and give engineers and scientists different ways to analyze objects. RGB imaging can be quick and inexpensive to implement and provides basic information about an […]
