May 2011
The May 2011 edition features Connectivity and Microprocessors, Microcontrollers & DSP as well as Electronic Manufacturing & Production.
The first article in Connectivity from information supplied by Agilent Technologies, reviews switching components and technologies from this manufacturer's perspective and describes Agilent's EM switch contact mechanism. Then, Andreas Kohn at Sierra Wireless advises how to maintain fleet management solutions using wide area wireless technology. Third in this feature, Jouni Lifländer at Pulse (Finland) compares ceramic chip antennas with PCB strip antennas in terms of manufacturing costs, size and performance.
Microprocessors, Microcontrollers & DSP contains a backgrounder article on semiconductor memory markets, standards and test equipment, from information supplied by JEDEC. Also in this feature, PCB layout guidelines for MCUs in BGA packages are presented
In an article from information supplied by NXP Semiconductors. "Software-defined radio (SDR) receivers" are reviewed in Electronic Manufacturing & Production by Joel Kirshman at AWR Corporation, before Johann Rumpler at Panasonic Electric Works considers fibre-optic sensors in an industrial environment.
Do enjoy.
