Consisting of sensors, data acquisition measurement hardware, and a computer with programmable software, data acquisition systems have taken on immense importance over the years amid the rise of the Industrial [...]

As the basis for telecommunications services, radio frequency (RF) energy enabled near-instant transmission and reception of electronic signals from one source to another--across distances that span millimeters to thousands of [...]

With each passing year, modular instruments gain ever-more capabilities that were once only possible with benchtop instruments. Assembling a complete test system once required a rack-mount enclosure and multiple other [...]

Much like cars, home appliances, and consumer gadgets, the market for oscilloscopes has traditionally been divided into mainstream instruments and those considered high-end. There's no industry-standard definition of either, but [...]

Manufacturers in the power semiconductor industry have been tackling challenges of performance, reliability, and lowering the cost of high-power devices for decades. More recently, boosting energy efficiency has taken on [...]

* Ever since manufacturers of electronic equipment, devices, and instruments mastered the production of safe and reliable products, they've been constantly pushing for increased efficiency. The demand for energy-efficient programmable [...]

* The 24th annual DesignCon was held Jan. 29-31 in Santa Clara, CA, in the heart of Silicon Valley. The yearly event brings together nearly 5,000 professionals from the high-speed [...]

* As various applications see demands rise for power usage, power density, and efficiency, the need to test for electrical safety goes hand-in-hand. Software continues to play a growing role [...]

With the rise of smart cities, intelligent factories and the Internet of Things, manufacturers of switching systems are under increasing pressure to adapt their instruments for applications based around connectivity. [...]

The vector network analyzer (VNA) remains one of the most basic, yet pivotal, tools to test component specifications and verify design simulations in order to ensure that systems and their [...]

While high-speed digital design engineers continuously combat demands for products and systems that are lower power, lower cost, more reliable, user-friendly, mobile, and faster than ever, test engineers are challenged [...]

The oscilloscope has been test & measurement engineers' bread-and-butter instrument for decades, with its roots dating back to the turn of the 20th century, and commercial versions available coming out [...]

The topic of 5G has been huge among our Evaluation Engineering audience for several years now. It's a key subject at any electronics expo. On Oct. 25, President Donald Trump [...]

During March 17-21, the Anaheim Convention Center hosted the 34th annual IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition, or better known as APEC 2019. Considered the premier event in applied [...]

The concept-to-market cycle of a product in the electronics space is often quite lengthy. Even with the rapid rate of innovation and technological advancements we've seen over the past decade, [...]

Of all the applications for electronic test & measurement, none have anything close to the direct impact on the health and well-being of consumers as in medical test. The stakes [...]

As long as humans keep advancing technology to make our lives and job functions easier, sadly, there will always be those who mean to do harm with it. That's been [...]

Advertising from today's cellular service providers would understandably make the common layperson assume communication technology is now in the age of 5G--that it's here and being rolled out to the [...]

I know, I know, it's another 5G editorial. Yes, we at Evaluation Engineering have covered developments in 5G extensively, given that the fifth generation of wireless connectivity is rightfully all [...]

On April 3, Verizon announced that it has turned on its 5G wireless networks in Chicago and Minneapolis--the first two cities to receive the network that will work with the [...]

Before joining Evaluation Engineering, I was the editor of two industrial manufacturing trade publications, and one of the most pressing topics among the audience of both was regarding a pending [...]

In December, Denmark-based Universal Robots celebrated the 10-year anniversary of delivering the first commerciallyviable collaborative robot. That such 'cobot' was put in place by Lanatex, a Danish supplier of plastics [...]

On Nov. 26, NASA's InSight Rover touched down on Mars, ending a seven-month journey that took the craft 301,223,981 miles from Earth.I livestreamed NASAs YouTube broadcast from its Jet Propulsion [...]

For at least a year before this editorial, I had been meaning to finally sit down and count up the number of connected devices in my home. The manufacturing trade [...]
